Cursor

Depends on Privacy Mode

Cursor says code is not used for training when Privacy Mode is enabled; when Privacy Mode is off, Cursor may use stored codebase data, prompts, editor actions, and snippets to improve AI features and train models.

Training use

Privacy Mode changes the answer. Enabled means no training use of code data; disabled means Cursor may use code data to improve AI features and train models.

How to opt out

Enable Privacy Mode in Cursor settings. Cursor says Privacy Mode is enabled by default for team members.

Private content

Cursor explains that requests still pass through its backend and that codebase indexing uploads code in chunks to compute embeddings.

Retention

With Privacy Mode on, Cursor states zero data retention for model providers; with it off, it may store code-related data for improvement and training.

Human review

The cited overview focuses on storage, provider handling, and training; it does not provide a single general human-review statement.
