Hi everyone,
What are the data retention and model training policies for Grok Code within Cursor during its free period?
My Cursor is set to Privacy Mode (Legacy).
Data Use & Privacy Overview states:
”If you are on “Privacy Mode (Legacy)”: zero data retention will be enabled, and none of your code will ever be stored or trained on by us or any third-party.”
Security (Privacy mode guarantee) states:
”We take the privacy mode guarantee very seriously. More than 50% of all Cursor users have privacy mode enabled.
Each request to our server includes an ‘x-ghost-mode’ header, containing a boolean value denoting if the user is on privacy mode. To prevent accidentally treating a privacy mode user as a non-privacy mode user, we always default to assuming that a user is on privacy mode if the header is missing.”
This topic became a concern when I noticed the disclaimer of another IDE provider:
”
All our models are hosted in the US. Our providers follow a zero-retention policy and do not use your data for model training, with the following exceptions:
Grok Code Fast 1: During its free period, collected data may be used to improve Grok Code.
…
”
Since Cursor has no such carve-out that I could find, I would appreciate more clarity on this.
Does the Privacy Mode (Legacy) Zero Data Retention Guarantee apply to Grok Code Fast 1 during its free period?
Thanks!
