This prohibition applies specifically to cross-context behavioral advertising, a defined category under certain U.S. privacy laws, and is limited to sensitive personal data rather than all personal data.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains a second independent proposition—that Perplexity AI may transfer sensitive personal data to third parties when the user instructs it to—which is recorded in omitted_material.
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.
