ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Health data is among the most sensitive categories of personal information; this clause establishes that participation in health-related services triggers processing of that data.

Interpretive note: The excerpt does not specify the legal basis (e.g., consent) for processing beyond the user's act of choosing to participate or submit; the clause heading references 'consent basis' but the excerpt itself does not use that term.

Medium Jul 5, 2026

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.
