ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The policy identifies a single contact email for all data subject rights requests and appeals, and states that exercising these rights will not result in discriminatory treatment, which is a requirement under CCPA and aligned with GDPR rights provisions.

Interpretive note: The policy does not specify response timelines for rights requests, which may not fully satisfy GDPR or CCPA transparency requirements; actual obligations depend on applicable jurisdiction.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users can submit data access, deletion, correction, or portability requests to hi@cursor.com; the policy states Anysphere will not discriminate against users for exercising these rights, but the specific response timelines and scope of each right may depend on the user's jurisdiction.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Delete Your Data
    Email hi@cursor.com stating your request to delete, access, correct, or export your personal data. Include sufficient information for identity verification. If denied, you may appeal by replying to or emailing the same address.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

(1) REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision directly engages GDPR Articles 15-22 (rights of access, erasure, rectification, portability, objection, restriction), CCPA Sections 1798.100-1798.125 (consumer rights to know, delete, correct, and non-discrimination), and equivalent US state privacy law frameworks. The FTC and state attorneys general may have enforcement authority over failure to honor rights requests. (2) GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: Medium. The provision establishes a single email channel for all rights requests without specifying response timelines or the process for verifying authorized agents. GDPR requires response within one month (with possible extension to three months); CCPA requires response within 45 days. The absence of stated timelines in the policy document creates a compliance gap in transparency. (3) JURISDICTION FLAGS: EEA and UK users have rights under GDPR including the right to lodge a complaint with their national data protection authority. California residents have CCPA-specific rights including the right to know, delete, and correct. The policy states rights availability depends on the user's country or state of residence, which is consistent with a tiered rights model but requires Anysphere to operationally track user jurisdictions. (4) CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Organizations that have deployed Cursor for employees and receive inbound data subject access requests from those employees should determine through the customer agreement whether Anysphere assists in fulfilling those requests and on what timeline. (5) COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should verify that the hi@cursor.com channel has adequate operational capacity and documented response procedures meeting GDPR and CCPA timing requirements. The authorized agent verification process should be documented. The correction right disclaimer (noting that AI model accuracy cannot be guaranteed) should be evaluated for adequacy under applicable law.
