Perplexity has appointed VeraSafe, a third-party data protection service provider, to serve as its Article 27 GDPR representative for the EU and UK and has designated VeraSafe as its DPO. This is an administrative restructuring of data protection administration. The change requires updating internal compliance records, vendor agreements, and may affect how DPA requests are routed and responded to. Organizations with Perplexity in their vendor stack should note the new DPO contact details for compliance communications. No material change to substantive data processing rights or obligations appears to have occurred.
