Business customers using Perplexity services are now governed by an updated DPA with two material operational changes. First, subprocessor disclosures have shifted from a static document attachment (Annex 2) to a live online list maintained at https://trust.perplexity.ai/subprocessors, with notifications of changes coming through in-product notification or email rather than through formal amendment. Second, certain Perplexity services (specifically Embeddings API and Perplexity Search) now operate under product-specific data postures and terms that control over the main DPA, meaning the data handling for those services may differ from the baseline agreement. Business customers should review the Trust Center list regularly and check for in-product notifications regarding subprocessor changes, as the updated terms no longer require static amendment cycles.
