Is Cursor HIPAA compliant?

While Cursor does not provide a BAA by default, you can configure a HIPAA-friendly environment by enabling Privacy Mode, using .cursorignore, and utilizing BYOK via Azure.

Can I disable all telemetry in Cursor?

Yes, you can set the 'telemetry.telemetryLevel' to 'off' in your settings.json or through the Cursor General Settings menu to stop usage data collection.

How do I exclude specific files from Cursor's AI features?

You can create a .cursorignore file in your project root to prevent specific files, credentials, or directories from being indexed or accessed by AI features.

How do I enforce privacy settings for my whole team?

Business and Enterprise admins can enforce Privacy Mode for all organization members via the Cursor Admin Dashboard, which prevents individual users from disabling it.

Does Cursor use my code for training with Privacy Mode ON?

No, when Privacy Mode is enabled, code is not used for training by Cursor or its model providers, ensuring zero data retention policies are followed.

Configures Cursor's privacy controls, telemetry, and data retention policies to ensure secure and compliant AI-assisted development.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance and automation for managing Cursor IDE's privacy and security configurations. It assists developers and security teams in enabling Privacy Mode to prevent code training, setting up .cursorignore for sensitive file exclusion, managing telemetry levels, and auditing data flows to maintain compliance with standards such as SOC 2, GDPR, and HIPAA. It is particularly useful for enterprise environments and individual developers working with proprietary or highly sensitive codebases who need to maintain strict control over their data footprint.
