What it is

Cursor collects technical logs and data about how you use the Service (but not your actual code or AI suggestions) and may share this usage information with third parties, provided it is aggregated or de-identified so it does not identify you individually.

This analysis describes what Cursor's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This provision distinguishes Usage Data from Content (code inputs and suggestions), authorizing Anysphere to collect and process interaction and log data for business purposes and to share it with third parties in aggregated or de-identified form.

Interpretive note: The scope of 'learnings' within the Usage Data definition is not exhaustively defined, and whether aggregated or de-identified disclosures satisfy GDPR or CCPA standards depends on the technical de-identification methodology applied, which is not described in the document.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)
