What it is

Cursor collects data about how you use the service — including logs and interaction data — and can share anonymized versions of this data with third parties. Your actual code and AI outputs are excluded from this.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Cursor collects and internally analyzes technical logs and behavioral data about your use of the platform, and shares anonymized versions of this data with third parties — the scope of 'Usage Data' and the effectiveness of de-identification are not independently verified in this document.

Why it matters (compliance & risk perspective)

While Content is excluded, Usage Data includes behavioral and interaction logs that could reveal sensitive information about your development patterns, workflows, and tooling — and this data is shared with third parties in aggregated form.

View original clause language
Anysphere may: (i) collect, analyze, and otherwise process Usage Data internally for its business purposes, including for security and analytics, to enhance the Service, and for other development and corrective purposes; and (ii) disclose Usage Data to third parties only in an aggregated and/or de-identified form and in a manner that does not identify you. "Usage Data" means technical logs, data, and learnings about Customer's use of and interactions with the Service, but excludes Content.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

1. REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: This provision engages GDPR Article 6(1)(f) (legitimate interests) as the likely lawful basis for Usage Data processing, and Article 89 for anonymized/aggregated data processing. CCPA §1798.140(o) defines 'personal information' broadly and may encompass Usage Data depending on its identifiability. The FTC Act Section 5 applies to representations about de-identification — the FTC has stated that de-identified data that can be re-identified remains personal data subject to privacy representations. The EU AI Act (Recital 47) addresses data used to improve AI systems. 2.
