The right to revoke consent is a meaningful privacy control, but it is limited to processing activities where consent—rather than another legal basis—is the ground for processing.
Interpretive note: The excerpt contains two independent propositions: the right to revoke consent, and the consequence that revocation may limit service availability. The canonical claim states the primary right; the consequence is recorded in omitted_material and reflected in what_this_means.
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.
