Event Summary

Perplexity AI updated its Legal Hub messaging to highlight a recent Privacy Notice revision. The new language explicitly states that Perplexity does not sell personal data or share queries, prompts, or conversation content with advertisers. The update also notes expanded detail about cookies, first-party advertising measurement, and user privacy choices. This change clarifies data handling practices but does not modify the binding Terms of Service itself.

LOW

Consumer Impact

Perplexity added explicit language clarifying that it does not sell personal data or share queries, prompts, and conversation content with advertisers.

These statements are informational clarifications that reflect stated data practices; the binding Terms of Service itself was not modified by this change.
