Training on Grok Bot data follows your Cursor account. Sign in to your Cursor privacy settings with the same account and check that Privacy Mode is on.

Training follows your Cursor account, so I didn't find a training switch in SpaceXSI's Grok Bot settings docs. I checked SpaceXSI's Approvals, security, and privacy page, last updated November 12, 2026, and it says, "Training opt-out follows the applicable Cursor account and privacy settings."
A Cursor staff member put it more directly on the Cursor forum: "Cursor Privacy Mode does apply to Grok Bot. With Privacy Mode on, your Grok Bot data isn’t used for training by Cursor or any model provider (including xAI)." So the setting to check is Privacy Mode on your Cursor account.
Step 1: Open your Cursor privacy settings in a browser: https://cursor.com/dashboard/settings?openPrivacy=true
Step 2: Sign in with the same account you use for Grok Bot, so you change the right account. SpaceXSI's Get started page says, "Grok Bot uses your Cursor account, so there's no separate login." I also found a Cursor forum thread where a Cursor staff member wrote that if a sign-in provider "returns a different email (for example a different Google account, or Apple’s “Hide My Email”), you get a separate, new account instead." In our own practice, we check which email our Grok Bot account uses before we sign in.
Step 3: Check that Privacy Mode is on. In that same forum thread, the staff member wrote, "You can always check the current Privacy Mode setting in your account settings on cursor.com." I checked Cursor's Data Use & Privacy Overview page, and it says that when Privacy Mode is enabled, "Customer Data will not be used for training by Cursor." We haven't seen that settings page ourselves, so we can't describe what it looks like. If your Cursor account uses Legacy Privacy Mode, note this: I checked SpaceXSI's Approvals, security, and privacy page, and it says, "Grok Bot requires data storage and does not support Legacy Privacy Mode."
I checked Cursor's Privacy and data help page, and it says, "Privacy Mode in the Cursor editor prevents your code from being used for training by Cursor or model providers. Grok Bot runs on a separate product surface with its own data flows." When a Cursor staff reply and the docs disagree, we trust the staff reply, and in that reply, the staff member wrote that Privacy Mode does apply to Grok Bot.
If your account is part of a Cursor team, the team's setting decides. I found a Cursor forum thread where a Cursor staff member wrote, "For teams, the team’s privacy setting governs all members." I also checked Cursor's Privacy and data help page, and it says, "Teams and Enterprise admins can enforce it organization-wide so members cannot disable it." In that case, ask your team admin.
If you want a written answer for your own account, email support. SpaceXSI's Troubleshooting page says, "For help from the support team, email support@x.ai from the email on your Grok Bot account."

Cursor Privacy Mode does apply to Grok Bot. With Privacy Mode on, your Grok Bot data isn’t used for training by Cursor or any model provider (including xAI).
For teams, the team’s privacy setting governs all members.
SpaceXSI docs, Get started: https://docs.x.ai/grok-bot/get-started
Grok Bot needs cloud data storage, so if your account is on Privacy Mode (Legacy), the app asks you to switch to Privacy Mode first.
Grok Bot uses your Cursor account, so there's no separate login.

Privacy Mode in the Cursor editor prevents your code from being used for training by Cursor or model providers. Grok Bot runs on a separate product surface with its own data flows.
Teams and Enterprise admins can enforce it organization-wide so members cannot disable it.
