MFA required for all employees and contractors

The updated terms establish a default policy permitting Windsurf to use customer data for model training purposes to improve services. Previously, the company required explicit opt-in before any training use. Under the revised policy, data training occurs automatically for free and paid users unless they affirmatively opt out through the Data Controls settings page. Once disabled, the terms state your data will not be used for training and Zero Data Retention will be enabled with model providers. Enterprise customers operate under a different standard, requiring express prior written consent before any training use occurs.

The updated document establishes explicit commitments about how Windsurf protects data and manages security. The terms state that all data transmission is encrypted in transit and at rest, that access to production systems is restricted to a small number of employees or contractors based on business roles, and that production systems are monitored via logging, error handling, and monitoring dashboards. The document discloses that Windsurf obtained SOC 2 Type II certification as of March 2024 and that all employees and contractors are required to use multi-factor authentication and receive annual security training. These disclosures describe organizational practices rather than establishing new user-facing rights or obligations.
