ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Browsing history is among the most sensitive categories of personal data, and this collection occurs at the browser level through a synced account, potentially covering activity across many websites.

Recent Activity

Medium Jul 5, 2026

The updated privacy notice expands transparency about how Perplexity collects and processes data across its services. The revised terms explicitly disclose that Comet browser collects browsing history, local data, and usage patterns; that Email Assistant analyzes email content for response advice but does not use that content for AI training; and that account data collection applies when creating accounts, submitting queries, and uploading documents. The policy now clearly separates consumer and enterprise data handling, stating that enterprise and API offerings are governed separately where Perplexity acts as a processor rather than a controller. You can review Comet privacy settings through the browser's controls and configure data collection preferences through your account settings.
