Data export

Cursor is a code editor, so your code stays in local files on your own machine. The only official transcript export is Shared Transcripts: you turn an agent chat into a shareable link (like cursor.com/s/abc123) with Team or Public visibility. It is available only on Teams and Enterprise plans, is capped at 50 shares per day, and is off in No Storage privacy mode.

Cancellation

You cancel yourself at cursor.com/dashboard/billing: click Manage Subscription to open the Stripe portal, then Cancel Subscription. You keep paid features until the end of the current billing period, then the account drops to the free Hobby plan and you are not charged again. A refund is possible only if the charge was in the last 14 days and you have not used the subscription that period, and refunds return to your card within 5-10 business days.
