Medium Aug 15, 2026

The updated privacy policy removed a sentence stating that Perplexity does not sell personal data or send user queries, prompts, or conversation content to advertisers. This statement previously appeared at the top of the policy as an explicit reassurance. The revised policy retains the substantive privacy protections elsewhere in the document but removes this introductory clarity. Users should review the full updated privacy policy to confirm what data practices remain in effect.

The updated Privacy Notice states that Perplexity does not sell personal data or send user queries, prompts, or conversation content to advertisers. The policy also expands disclosure about cookies, first-party advertising measurement, and user privacy choices. This clarification directly addresses advertiser data handling practices, which is a material privacy concern for users of AI services.

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.
