Perplexity Privacy Policy

Perplexity AI's privacy policy explains how the company collects and uses your data, including everything you type or upload, to improve its products and AI models. If you use the Email Assistant or Comet browser features, additional sensitive data—email contents and browsing history—may be collected or analyzed, though email content is not used to train AI models. You can revoke consent for data processing where consent is the basis, and you can opt out of targeted advertising through the cookie consent pop-up on the service.

This privacy policy establishes the terms under which Perplexity AI collects, uses, shares, and transfers personal data from users of its services. Perplexity AI processes the full scope of user interactions—including prompts, queries, uploads, and generated outputs—and uses that data to improve or create its services and AI models, with a categorical exclusion for email content from AI model training. The policy sets out cross-border data transfer terms, whereby submission of personal data constitutes agreement to processing in the United States and other countries. Users are granted the right to revoke consent where consent is the legal basis for processing, and to opt out of targeted advertising through a cookie consent mechanism. Perplexity AI does not sell or share sensitive personal data for cross-context behavioral advertising, but may share data with third-party measurement vendors through server-to-server connections, cookies, and pixels.

Every prompt, query, upload, and output you generate on Perplexity AI's services is processed by the company and may contribute to AI model development. If you link the Email Assistant to your email provider, Perplexity AI analyzes both the messages you send and receive to advise on responses, though that email content is not used to train AI models. If you sync your Perplexity account with the Comet browser, your browsing history and engagement data are recorded depending on your settings. Submitting personal data to the service constitutes agreement to its transfer and storage in the United States and other countries. One concrete action available to you: use the cookie consent pop-up on Perplexity AI's services to opt out of targeted advertising, including the use of cookies and pixels for that purpose.
