Security, privacy & IP objections

Every enterprise AI-coding deal lives or dies on one fear: "is our proprietary code training someone's model or leaving our boundary?" If you can't speak to it precisely, the deal stalls in security review for a quarter.

Know Cursor's privacy posture cold and confirm specifics with SE before any formal review. The core reassurance is the privacy / no-training mode, where your code is not used to train Cursor's or its model providers' models. That is the sentence security cares about, so say it accurately and never improvise the details - and don't stretch it into a zero-retention promise the setting doesn't make.
