Cursor Code Security and Privacy Framework
Cursor prioritises code security and privacy through careful AI model design, comprehensive data handling practices, and granular user control over information sharing with AI systems. Security implementation ensures client data and proprietary code remain protected while maximising AI assistance benefits.
Security approach includes configurable privacy settings, data handling transparency, and enterprise-grade protection that enables safe AI-powered development for sensitive projects and client work requiring confidentiality assurance.
AI Model Design and Data Protection
Cursor's AI architecture includes privacy-by-design principles that minimise data exposure while maintaining intelligent assistance capabilities through careful model training and inference processes that protect sensitive information.
Data Handling and Processing Controls
Security implementation includes local processing options, selective data sharing, and configurable privacy levels that enable users to control exactly what information AI systems access during development assistance.
Data protection includes code anonymisation, context filtering, and selective sharing that maintains AI effectiveness while protecting proprietary algorithms, client data, and sensitive business logic from unauthorised exposure.
