Recent Activity

This document changed recently

High Aug 14, 2026

The updated terms now apply to multiple Perplexity enterprise products (not just Enterprise Pro and Max), and Perplexity reserves the right to add, remove, or modify which services are covered at its sole discretion, with continued use constituting acceptance. The terms introduce automatic data sharing with third-party marketing partners for advertising purposes, though Perplexity states it does not share Customer Content. New provisions govern usage-based billing and seat count changes, including immediate effectiveness of seat increases with prorated charges and seat decreases taking effect at renewal without refund. You can review product-specific terms for Comet and Agentic services, and you may request cessation of Perplexity Controlled Information use if it conflicts with applicable data privacy laws.
