Privacy Policy
Last updated: 1 June 2026
Short version: this site uses Google Analytics, and only after you opt in. The Cursor Voice app talks directly to OpenAI with your own key — there's no server in the middle collecting anything. Details below.
Who this covers
This policy covers two separate things:
- This website (
cursorvoice.github.io/cursor-voice) — the landing page you're on. - The Cursor Voice app — the macOS application you can download.
They're treated separately because they handle data very differently.
The website
The site is hosted on GitHub Pages. GitHub may log standard server request data (IP address, user agent) as part of serving the page — see the GitHub Privacy Statement.
Beyond that, the only tracking is Google Analytics 4, and it is off by default. Nothing analytics-related loads or runs until you click "Allow analytics" in the consent banner. If you decline, no analytics cookies are set and no events are sent.
What we'd see if you opt in: which sections you scroll to, what you click (install button, GitHub links, which install command you copy), how far down the page you get, and roughly how long you stay. This is aggregate, behavioural data — it helps us know what's working. We do not collect your name, email, or anything you type.
Cookies
The site sets cookies only in these cases:
| Cookie | Purpose | Set when |
|---|---|---|
cv_consent | Remembers your accept/decline choice so you're not asked again (180 days) | You make a choice |
_ga, _ga_* | Google Analytics — distinguishes visitors and sessions | Only if you allow analytics |
You can change your mind anytime via the "cookie settings" link in the site footer, or by clearing cookies in your browser.
Google Analytics specifics
- IP anonymization is enabled (
anonymize_ip). - Google Consent Mode v2 is used — ad/personalization storage is always denied; only analytics storage is enabled, and only after you opt in.
- Data is processed by Google. See Google's Privacy Policy and how Analytics handles data.
The app
The Cursor Voice macOS app is different — it has no analytics, no telemetry, and no backend run by us. Specifically:
- Your OpenAI API key is stored only in your macOS Keychain on your machine.
- When the orb is active, your voice and screenshots are sent directly to the OpenAI Realtime API over your own account — governed by OpenAI's privacy policy. Nothing routes through us.
- The wake word is recognised on-device; audio isn't transmitted until the phrase matches.
- Memory the app saves stays local at
~/Library/Application Support/CursorVoice/memory.json. - The app checks GitHub for new releases (a normal HTTPS request to the public releases API). No identifying data is attached.
Your choices
- Decline analytics — the site works identically.
- Withdraw consent — use "cookie settings" in the footer, or clear cookies.
- Browser controls — Do Not Track and cookie-blocking extensions are respected (blocking GA's domain stops all of it).

Changes
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above changes with it. Material changes will be noted in the GitHub repository.
