Hey everyone!
Before anything else, I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying the coding experience with Cursor. The gray auto-completion has completely changed the way I work—I can’t imagine going back to typing out “p r i n t” letter by letter without the magic of Tab. Huge thanks to the Cursor team for making this possible.
Recently, I came across Cursor’s privacy documentation (Privacy Overview | Cursor - The AI Code Editor), which says:
“If you choose to keep ‘Privacy Mode’ off, we collect telemetry, usage data, and codebase data. This includes prompts, editor actions, code snippets, files in the repository, and edits made to this code. We use this data to evaluate and improve our AI features.”
I’m curious about what exactly falls under “editor actions.” I haven’t found any official documentation that spells this out. My guess is that it might include things like:
- Which lines of code I’m working on (e.g., jumping from line 5 to line 19, which could explain why its auto-scrolling feature is quite smooth)
- My cursor location and file navigation behavior (like the order in which I open files)
Does anyone have more details or has anyone seen an official announcement about what “editor actions” actually covers? I’d really like to know how much of my behavior is being tracked.
Thanks, and I’d love to hear your thoughts or any info you might have!
