The breadth of automatic data collection — including location data and device identifiers — means Perplexity builds a detailed profile of your behavior even beyond what you actively share.
Using Perplexity AI means your queries, conversation history, device data, and usage patterns are collected and may be shared with third-party service providers, advertising partners, and potentially acquirers in a corporate transaction. The policy permits use of interaction data for AI model training and improvement, which means sensitive questions submitted to the search engine may contribute to training datasets. You can exercise data access, deletion, or opt-out rights by submitting a request to privacy@perplexity.ai.
