“Perplexity shall delete (or, at Customer's option, return) all Personal Data within thirty days of the end of the provision of the Services to Customer, unless retention of the Personal Data is required by law”
This analysis describes what Perplexity AI's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology
The thirty-day deadline creates a concrete, time-bound data disposal obligation on Perplexity AI, and grants Customers the option to recover their data rather than have it deleted, subject only to a legal retention exception.
Customers can expect Perplexity AI to delete their Personal Data within thirty days of service termination, or may elect to have it returned instead, unless applicable law requires Perplexity AI to retain it.
How other platforms handle this
ALPR Information is stored for approximately 30 days before it is permanently deleted unless the information is retained for investigative or legal purposes.
We will promptly destroy personal information at the end of the retention period, as described above. When we destroy personal information, we do so in a way that prevents that information from being restored or reconstructed.
We will store your personal data only for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which we collected it, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements.
