How does Cursor process AI requests?
To provide its features, Cursor makes requests to our server. This happens for many different reasons. For example: - We send AI requests when you ask questions in chat - We send AI requests on every keystroke so that Cursor Tab can make suggestions for you - We may also send AI requests in the background for building up context or looking for bugs to show you For more detail on how AI requests work, see ai requests. #### What's included in an AI request An AI request generally includes context such as: - Your recently viewed files - Your conversation history - Relevant pieces of code based on language server information Context may also be retrieved via codebase indexing — see codebase-indexing for details on how indexing works and the privacy controls available. #### Where requests are processed This code data is sent to our infrastructure on AWS, and then to the appropriate language model inference provider. See our current list of subprocessors at trust.cursor.com/subprocessors. For details on bring-your-own-key (BYOK) configurations, see cursor.com/help/models-and-usage/api-keys. #### Self-hosted Cloud Agents We now offer self-hosted Cloud Agents, which allow Cloud Agents to run in your own infrastructure (your own AWS, GCP, or Azure environment) rather than on Cursor's infrastructure. This gives enterprise customers control over where agent workloads execute, keeping code and execution environments within your network boundary while still leveraging Cursor's agent orchestration. Learn more at cursor.com/blog/self-hosted-cloud-agents.
Does Cursor use infrastructure in China?
No. None of our infrastructure is in China. - We do not directly use any Chinese company as a subprocessor See our current list of subprocessors at trust.cursor.com/subprocessors.
How is my code data protected?
#### Privacy Mode and data handling Privacy Mode, when enabled, ensures that no raw code or customer data is used for training purposes. See cursor.com/security#privacy-mode-guarantee for details on the Privacy Mode guarantee. - We maintain zero-data retention (ZDR) agreements with our inference provider subprocessors — see trust.cursor.com/subprocessors - We only store essential user account information and data to power our services as described in our Privacy Policy - Data is protected with TLS 1.2+ encryption in transit and AES-256 encryption at rest - For codebase indexing details, see cursor.com/security#codebase-indexing #### Defense-in-depth security program We protect customer data through a combination of defense-in-depth strategies and a range of cybersecurity tools, including: - Access controls — role-based access, least-privilege provisioning, and quarterly access reviews - Network security — segmentation, monitoring, and perimeter controls across our AWS infrastructure - Encryption — TLS 1.2+ in transit, AES-256 at rest - Vulnerability management — continuous scanning, patching, and third-party penetration testing - Monitoring and logging — centralized audit logging and security event monitoring #### Customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK) Enterprise customers can additionally configure Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for enhanced control over encryption key lifecycle and access. See cursor.com/docs/enterprise/privacy-and-data-governance#data-encryption for setup and configuration details.
What authentication and access controls exist?
#### Authentication options - SAML 2.0 SSO — see cursor.com/docs/account/teams/sso - SCIM 2.0 provisioning — available with SSO enabled - CLI authentication — see cursor.com/docs/cli/reference/authentication For a full overview of enterprise identity and access management capabilities, see cursor.com/docs/enterprise/identity-and-access-management.
What compliance monitoring is in place?
#### Compliance certifications and frameworks - SOC 2 Type II — ongoing compliance monitoring through documented internal controls - ISO 27001 — audit in progress with Schellman as our independent auditor - ISO 42001 — audit in progress with Schellman as our independent auditor for AI management system controls For our current compliance posture and certifications, see trust.cursor.com. #### Continuous security monitoring We use a defense-in-depth approach combining automated tooling, human review, and third-party assurance: - Centralized logging and security monitoring — system activity, performance, and operational telemetry are collected and monitored continuously - Vulnerability scanning — performed regularly using industry-standard tools across our infrastructure and codebase - Security agents — autonomous agents configured and deployed by our security team to continuously secure our codebase and products. See cursor.com/blog/security-agents - Code review — performed using BugBot, our internal AI-powered code review product, alongside additional SCA, SAST, and supply chain security tooling #### Customer-facing compliance and audit logs Enterprise customers have access to compliance and audit logging exposed directly through the product. See cursor.com/docs/enterprise/compliance-and-monitoring for details on available logs, retention, and integrations. #### Risk management and assurance - Vendor risk reviews — key vendors are reviewed periodically as part of our vendor security assessment program - Internal risk assessments — performed on a regular cadence to identify and treat emerging risks - Penetration testing — conducted by qualified third parties - Bug bounty program — ongoing engagement with the security research community to surface and remediate vulnerabilities
Do you support logging?
Enterprise customers have access to compliance and audit logging exposed directly through the product. See cursor.com/docs/enterprise/compliance-and-monitoring for details on available logs, retention, and integrations.
Do you encrypt data at rest and in transit?
Yes. Cursor encrypts data using industry-standard cryptographic controls: - In transit — TLS 1.2 or higher - At rest — AES-256 encryption Enterprise customers can additionally configure Customer-Managed Encryption Keys (CMEK) for enhanced control over encryption key lifecycle and access. See cursor.com/docs/enterprise/privacy-and-data-governance#data-encryption for details.
What deployment options are available?
Cursor is primarily a SaaS product. Core services (orchestration, model access, control plane) run in Cursor's AWS cloud. Customers can control how the editor and agent execution are deployed: 1\. Editor — Deploy and centrally policy-manage via MDM (Jamf, Intune, Kandji, Group Policy). Docs 2\. Cloud Agents — Run in Cursor's cloud on AWS by default, or self-host agent _workers_ in the customer's own infrastructure. Docs 3\. CLI — Headless use on customer infrastructure (servers, CI/CD, Kubernetes). Docs 4\. Integrations — e.g. GitHub, GitLab, Slack, Linear and MCP. Marketplace · MCP docs 5\. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) — Customers can route model inference through their own provider API keys (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Azure OpenAI) instead of using Cursor-managed model access.
How does enabling Privacy Mode change the data Cursor processes and stores?
Privacy Mode can be enabled during onboarding or in settings, and is enforced by default for all Teams and Enterprise plans. With Privacy Mode enabled: - Code and customer data are not used for training by Cursor or its sub-processors. - Cursor maintains Zero Data Retention (ZDR) agreements with sub-processors providing model inference, so prompts and completions are not retained on their side. With Privacy Mode disabled: - Cursor may collect telemetry and usage data, including prompts, editor actions, code snippets, and edits, to evaluate and improve AI features.

Who owns the code created while using Cursor?
Cursor customers own all the code generated by Cursor.
