Privacy notesInputs can include source files, prompts, logs, account metadata, repository details, and operational context that may be sent to the configured AI model. Redact secrets, customer data, private URLs, credentials, and proprietary implementation details before sharing prompts, reports, or generated artifacts.Cursor and Windsurf send your code and prompts to their AI backends to power completion and chat; review each editor's data-handling settings and keep API keys out of committed config.CI workflows read repository code and use secrets (API keys, deploy credentials, model keys); store them in GitHub Actions secrets, never in workflow files or logs, and review what third-party actions can access.Inputs and outputs can include browser state, account metadata, workflow payloads, infrastructure inventory, logs, and operational screenshots.
