Cursor Starter Guide

Privacy & Security

  • Is Cursor safe to use with private code?
    Cursor can be safe for private code if you use its privacy mode and understand its data handling. However, like any cloud-based AI tool, it involves sending code to servers, so review its policies for your needs.
  • Does Cursor store my code on its servers?
    By default, Cursor may store code snippets temporarily to provide its services, but with Privacy Mode enabled, it does not retain your code. The exact retention depends on your settings and plan.
