claim. Rather than running a single model, it orchestrates several leading ones and selects the best per query; the pricing page names ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Anthropic Claude and NVIDIA Nemotron, while Pro and Max let you pick a preferred model yourself.

The Enterprise tier adds SSO and SCIM, user management, configurable file retention with automatic deletion down to one day, and private search; Perplexity says more than 50,000 organizations use it.

The privacy notice was last updated on July 8, 2026, and the terms of service on January 23, 2026. Legal bases are declared by context: legitimate interests, performance of the contract, legal obligation and consent. VeraSafe Ireland Ltd. (Cork) and VeraSafe United Kingdom Ltd. (London) act as Article 27 representatives for the EU and the UK, and VeraSafe, LLC is the designated DPO, reachable at experts@verasafe.com. Transfers rely on certified adherence to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and its UK Extension, with standard contractual clauses available on request; the published DPA refers to the clauses of Decision 2021\/914. Rights include access, portability, the list of third-party recipients, rectification, erasure, objection, restriction, withdrawal of consent and appeal, exercised through a dedicated form or support@perplexity.ai.

The company and its licensors do own the Services and the technology used to generate any Output. Under clause 6.4.2 you grant Perplexity a worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license, irrevocable for as long as the content is stored, to host, reproduce, transmit, display, publish, distribute and modify that content in order to operate, improve, promote and provide the Services. Feedback you send becomes the company's exclusive property (clause 6.3). For enterprise customers, the DPA makes Perplexity the processor and the customer the controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReuse rights\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0\"\u003eThe terms do not hand the user explicit ownership of generated Output: Perplexity claims no ownership of Your Content, which covers your Input, while it and its licensors keep the Services and the technology that produces Output. On the processing side, the privacy notice lists among the purposes to improve or create services and products, including our AI models. The AI Data Retention setting is on by default for Free, Pro and Max and is switched off in Settings, then Preferences; switching it off applies only going forward and does not erase data already used. Enterprise customer data is never used for AI training, and the Chat Completions API runs with Zero Data Retention, keeping only billing metrics (token counts, model, timestamp, key identifier). Email content processed by the Email Assistant is not used to create, train, improve or fine-tune models. Perplexity states that it does not sell personal data and passes neither queries, prompts nor conversation content to advertisers, but it does share data with group companies, service providers, business partners, professional advisers and advertising partners for ad measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"trust-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eData retention \u0026amp; training\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eRetention summary\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v justify\"\u003eThe privacy notice publishes no figure: personal data is kept only as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described, unless a longer period is required or permitted by law. The criteria weigh the volume, nature and sensitivity of the data, the risk of harm, the purposes pursued and legal obligations. Elsewhere the rules are firmer. The Chat Completions API runs with Zero Data Retention, keeping only billing metrics; Enterprise customers get configurable file retention with automatic deletion down to one day; and Comet keeps part of its data, including history, site permissions and downloads, locally on the machine. Data may survive in backups after a rectification request, within the limits allowed by law, and a deletion request can be refused where the law requires the data to be kept.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eTrains on customer data\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"badge warn\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M12 22s8-4 8-10V5l-8-3-8 3v7c0 6 8 10 8 10z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Configurable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eTraining opt-out available\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"badge ok\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpolyline points=\"20 6 9 17 4 12\"\u003e\u003c\/polyline\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eSubprocessors disclosed\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"badge ok\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2.5\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpolyline points=\"20 6 9 17 4 12\"\u003e\u003c\/polyline\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eDPA available\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"badge ok\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"14\" height=\"14\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M14 2H6a2 2 0 0 0-2 2v16a2 2 0 0 0 2 2h12a2 2 0 0 0 2-2V8z\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpolyline points=\"14 2 14 8 20 8\"\u003e\u003c\/polyline\u003e\u003cpath d=\"m9 15 2 2 4-4\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Yes\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eGDPR contact\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"mailto:support@perplexity.ai\"\u003esupport@perplexity.ai\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"trust-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHosting summary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0 0 14px\"\u003eThe API FAQ is explicit: compute is hosted via Amazon Web Services in North America.

Cloudflare provides DDoS protection, a web application firewall, rate limiting and TLS encryption; DNS resolution for the domain returns 104.18.27.48, on Cloudflare's anycast network. Cloud posture is monitored with Wiz and logs are aggregated in a Panther SIEM. Storing customer data on employee workstations is prohibited, and data stays confined to production environments. No European data residency option appears on the pages collected, so European customers should expect North American hosting, covered contractually through the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and standard contractual clauses rather than by local storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"kv\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"k\"\u003eHosting regions\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"v\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"flag-row\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"flag\"\u003eNorth America\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block watch\" id=\"watch\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eWatch-outs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThings to keep in mind\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"lead\"\u003eRisks and trade-offs to weigh before adopting Perplexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"brand-list\" style=\"grid-template-columns:repeat(2,1fr);display:grid;gap:12px 24px\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInline citations make an answer feel already verified, yet clause 8.1.1 provides the service as is with no warranty of accuracy and the API documentation warns that responses may contain mistakes: opening the cited source remains the user's job.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAI Data Retention is active by default on Free, Pro and Max, so conversations feed model improvement unless the user goes into Settings, then Preferences, and turns the setting off.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurning that setting off only applies going forward: data already used for training is not withdrawn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClause 6.4.2 grants a license over stored content that is irrevocable for as long as the content is stored, including the right to modify and sublicense it, and clause 6.3 makes any feedback sent the exclusive property of the publisher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClause 9 imposes individual arbitration and a class-action waiver unless the user objects in writing to support@perplexity.ai, and clause 2.4 makes subscriptions non-refundable.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe privacy notice describes sharing with advertising partners for ad measurement; objection goes through the cookie banner and the Global Privacy Control signal, while Do Not Track is not recognized.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitive categories may be involved, including health data, voice biometrics and neural data through Perplexity Health, while the subprocessor list stays behind the Trust Center and hosting is announced in North America only.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"block\" id=\"setup\"\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"head\"\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"eyebrow\"\u003eSetup\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSetup \u0026amp; Integrations\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"setup-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"font-size:15px;margin-bottom:10px\"\u003eTechnical difficulty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"justify\" style=\"color:var(--gv3-ink-2);margin:0 0 14px\"\u003eVery low for everyday use: a single input field on the home page, no installation, and no account needed for basic free use, an account becoming necessary only for history, preferences and paid plans.

Around that core, Computer executes longer tasks, Comet turns the browser into an assistant, and four APIs open the same machinery to developers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe commercial offer is legible: a permanent free plan, a paid entry point at 20 USD per month with Pro, 200 USD per month with Max, and Enterprise pricing quoted on request. The API is billed on usage, with a public price list detailed down to the tool invocation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDocumentary transparency is a real strength. The DPA is published rather than gated, Article 27 representatives are named for the EU and the UK, adherence to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework is claimed, and the security page describes access management, infrastructure, detection and vendor review. The privacy notice was last updated on July 8, 2026, and the terms of service on January 23, 2026.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reservations are equally concrete. On Free, Pro and Max, the use of data for training is active by default and must be switched off in Settings, then Preferences, and switching it off only applies going forward. The subprocessor list and audit reports sit behind a closed Trust Center. There is no about page and no contact page, and no dedicated legal or privacy address. Hosting is announced in North America, with no European residency option on the pages collected. Subscriptions are non-refundable, and the terms impose individual arbitration unless the user opts out in writing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor sourced research, access to several model families and an API you can price precisely, the proposition holds up, provided you go and change the data settings on day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"cta-row\"\u003e\u003ca class=\"btn btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.perplexity.ai\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003csvg viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"2\" stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" width=\"16\" height=\"16\"\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M15 3h6v6\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M10 14 21 3\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003cpath d=\"M18 13v6a2 2 0 0 1-2 2H5a2 2 0 0 1-2-2V8a2 2 0 0 1 2-2h6\"\u003e\u003c\/path\u003e\u003c\/svg\u003e Visit Perplexity\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Perplexity AI, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58253948977483,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1038\/0905\/7099\/files\/official-perplexity-by-guidaio_6adc0c0f-2a74-4b7d-b8b4-711029737edf.png?v=1787697555","url":"https:\/\/guidaio.com\/products\/perplexity","provider":"Guidaio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
