ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

This commitment directly addresses one of the most significant concerns about AI services—that user data could be used to improve the AI—by explicitly excluding Personal Data from LLM training.

Interpretive note: The phrase 'for the avoidance of doubt' suggests this is a clarificatory statement rather than a standalone new obligation, but the factual commitment it states is explicit.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Customers' Personal Data will not be used by Perplexity AI to train its large language models.
