The opt-out right is conditioned on targeted advertising occurring on Perplexity AI's services, and the mechanism identified is a cookie consent pop-up, meaning users must actively use that mechanism to exercise the right.
Interpretive note: The excerpt appears to be truncated after 'cookie consent pop-up'. Additional opt-out mechanisms may be described in the full text but are not present in the provided excerpt and have not been inferred.
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.
