ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

While this provision is a legal compliance baseline under COPPA, it relies entirely on reactive discovery rather than proactive age verification, meaning children's data may be collected and processed before any corrective action is taken.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Perplexity AI collects your search queries, conversation history, device identifiers, IP address, and account information, and the policy permits this data to be used for AI model training and product improvement in addition to core service delivery. This means sensitive or personal information you enter as a search query may inform model development in ways that go beyond what users typically expect from a search product. You can submit a data deletion or access request by emailing privacy@perplexity.ai or using the account settings within the Perplexity platform.
