Users who rely on incognito mode as a privacy safeguard are informed that it may not prevent tracking by Perplexity AI or third parties, which is a material limitation of that privacy expectation.
Interpretive note: The clause uses 'may still be able to track', which is a qualified disclosure of possibility rather than a certainty of tracking.
The updated Privacy Notice establishes more granular disclosure of data collection methods across multiple product areas. Perplexity now explicitly discloses that it collects and stores browsing history and settings in the Comet browser based on consent or legitimate interest, accesses email content through Email Assistant to analyze messages (while stating it does not train AI models on that content), and collects demographic data if users voluntarily upload it. The revised structure also clarifies that local browser data storage occurs on users' devices and that incognito mode does not fully prevent tracking by websites or Perplexity. You can review Comet privacy settings and controls as described in the updated policy.
