Anthropic Data Locality

Hi, I received the following email from Anthropic regarding global expansion and an explicit request (opt-out) required to ensure data is kept in the United States. My assumption is that if I use my own API key for Anthropic, I’ll ensure data locality, but will Cursor communicate a similar opt-out given their Anthropic model offerings?

Dear Customer,

Effective August 19, 2025, Anthropic will expand data processing to include infrastructure in multiple geographic regions (including US, Europe, Asia, Australia) to improve reliability. This affects Anthropic API and Claude for Work customers. Details about our infrastructure and security standards are available at our Trust Center.

If you require US-only processing for compliance or other reasons, please indicate your preference here before August 19, 2025 to opt out of having your data processed in regions outside of the United States. If you have already expressed a preference for US-only processing in a custom agreement or order form, no further action is needed and we will honor that existing preference. Data storage remains US-only.

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our team. After this date, your account will be migrated to this global infrastructure approach unless we hear from you.

–The Anthropic Team

I thought when cursor uses deepseek it runs it in the us. So they may just auto opt out for everyone.
