Your health information may be shared in the following ways, in addition to those described elsewhere in this policy: with service providers that help us provide requested services, Apps/services that you connect to Perplexity Health, third party AI models that help us provide requested services. Selling and/or Sharing of Personal Information: We do not "sell" (as defined under the CCPA) personal information, nor have we done so in the preceding 12 months. Further, we do not have actual knowledge that we "sell" or "share" personal information of residents under 16 years of age. California Account Holders Under 18: Any California residents under the age of eighteen (18) who have registered to use the Services and who have posted content or information available to others on the Services can request that such information be removed from the Services by contacting us at the e-mail address set forth in the section below, How to Contact Us. Such request must state that they personally posted such content or information and detail where the content or information is posted. We will make reasonable good faith efforts to remove the post from prospective public view or anonymize it so the resident cannot be individually identified. This removal process cannot ensure complete or comprehensive removal. For instance, third parties may have republished the post, and archived copies of it may be stored by search engines and other parties that we do not control. 10. DATA TRANSFERS The personal information that we collect will be transferred to, stored at/processed in, or accessed from countries outside the jurisdiction in which you are based in, for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy, including countries in which our service providers or other third parties described in Section 4 are located. Specifically, we have servers for the Service in the US. We also have support, engineering and other teams who may support the Service, including from the United States. We process the personal information that you provide to us by creating an account and using our Services in countries outside the relevant jurisdiction you are resident in in order to perform our contract with you (to provide you with our Services). By using the Services and acknowledging the Privacy Policy, you acknowledge and, if necessary in your jurisdiction, consent to the transfer of your personal information to third parties (if any), which may include the cross-border transfer of your information to any country or region where we have databases or affiliates and, in particular, to the jurisdictions specified herein. For such transfers of data outside the relevant jurisdiction will use applicable safeguards, for example, for UK and EEA users, the European Commission's model contracts for the transfer of personal information to third countries (i.e., the standard contractual clauses) (the " Model Clauses "), or any equivalent contracts issued by the relevant competent authority of the UK, as relevant, unless the data transfer is to a country that has been determined by the European Commission or the relevant UK authorities, as applicable, to provide an adequate level of protection for individuals' rights and freedoms for their personal information. Please contact us at support@perplexity.ai should you wish to inquire further as to such data transfer mechanisms, including to examine a copy of the Model Clauses. For EU and UK users: We comply with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce (collectively, the "DPF") and have certified to the U.S. Department of Commerce that we adhere to the DPF Principles with regard to the processing of personal information received from the European Union and UK (and Gibraltar) in reliance on the DPF. If there is any conflict between the terms in this privacy policy and the DPF Principles, the Principles shall govern to the extent applicable to the information at issue. The Federal Trade Commission has jurisdiction over our compliance with the DPF and, in accordance with the DPF, we are responsible for onward transfers to third parties that process personal information subject to the DPF in a way that does not follow the DPF Principles. To learn more about the Data Privacy Framework program, and to view our certification, please visit the Data Privacy Framework website. We commit to resolve DPF Principles-related complaints about our collection and use of personal information. Individuals in the EU and UK with inquiries or complaints regarding our compliance with the DPF should first contact us, at support@perplexity.ai. If you have an unresolved complaint concerning our handling of personal information received in reliance on the DPF that we have not addressed satisfactorily, please contact our U.S.-based third-party dispute resolution provider (free of charge) at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/ . Under certain conditions (more fully described here) you may be entitled to invoke binding arbitration to resolve your complaint. In compliance with the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF, we commit to cooperate and comply respectively with the advice of the panel established by the EU data protection authorities (DPAs) and the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) with regard to unresolved complaints concerning our handling of personal information received in reliance on the EU-U.S. DPF and the UK Extension to the EU-U.S. DPF.

Sensitive data you choose to provide could reveal government identifiers, precise geolocation, racial or ethnic origin, health, citizenship or immigration status, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership, contents of mail, email, or text messages, genetic data, neural data, or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation. We also may collect health, genetic, biometric, and/or neural data if you enroll in Perplexity Health.

When that occurs, third parties will use it for the purposes indicated in their privacy notices. Consumer Health Data Privacy Notice. If you participate in one of our health-specific services and upload data, connect third-party services, or direct us to collect information from third parties, we may collect your health, genetic, biometric, and/or neural data. If you choose to submit health-related sensitive information as part of a Service Interaction, we will receive such information. For example, if you choose to provide us - through a query, upload, or other use of our services - health-related data, or data concerning sex life or sexual orientation, then we would receive those categories of information. This may include where you provide sensitive information through your use of the service. Your health information may be shared in the following ways, in addition to those described elsewhere in this policy: with service providers that help us provide requested services, Apps/services that you connect to Perplexity health-related services and third party AI models that help us provide requested services. You can exercise rights related to this data by following the instructions in the Your Choices section, below. Your Choices Some jurisdictions give you a right to make the following choices: Access.

Opt-out of Website Targeted Advertising. When targeted advertising occurs on our services, you have the choice to opt-out. You can opt out of online targeted advertising (e.g. cookies and pixels) through the cookie consent pop-up that appears when you visit a Perplexity webpage. Because this preference is stored locally, you may need to set it again if you switch browsers or devices, or if you clear your browser's cache. We recognize Global Privacy Control (GPC) signals broadcast from web browsers as a valid opt-out request where required by applicable law. Please note that the GPC will apply only to your current browser. If there is a conflict between the GPC signal and a manual choice that you have made on our website regarding targeted advertising, we will honor your manual choice. We do not recognize the "Do Not Track" signal. Opt-out of App-Based Targeted Advertising.

In addition to the option to use Comet in Incognito, as described previously, you may choose to use Incognito in our app and through parts of our website. Incognito increases your privacy by not saving your search activity across use sessions. For more information on Incognito, see here . Objection to or Restriction of Certain Processing. In certain circumstances, you may object to the processing of your personal data, or ask that we restrict processing of your personal data. To do so, follow the instructions below.

You can stop receiving such emails by following the unsubscribe instructions at the bottom of those emails. If you choose not to receive such emails, we may still send you service-related communications. Revocation Of Consent. Where we process your personal data based upon consent, you may revoke consent. Note, if you revoke consent for processing personal data, we may no longer be able to provide you some types of services. Not all the rights above are absolute, and they do not apply in all circumstances. We may limit or deny a request because the law permits or requires us to. We will not discriminate against individuals who exercise a privacy right. Submitting Requests You may exercise the above rights by contacting us via the contact information below. If you disagree with our denial of a request, you may appeal our decision by contacting us with the subject line "Appeal." We will require you to prove your identity when making most types of requests. We may verify your identity by phone or email, or by having you log into your account. Depending on your request, we will ask for information such as your name, email address, account-related information, or the date of your last subscription payment. We may also ask you to send us a signed declaration confirming your identity. In some circumstances, you may designate an authorized agent to exercise rights on your behalf.

Before accepting such a request from an agent, we will require that the agent provide proof you have authorized them to act on your behalf, and we may need you to verify your identity directly with us. How We Protect and Retain Data No method of internet transmission or electronic storage is fully secure. While we use reasonable efforts to protect personal data, we cannot guarantee its security. If we are required to inform you about a security incident, we will do so electronically, in writing, or by phone, as the law permits. Some of our services permit you to create an account. You are responsible for selecting a unique and complex password and keeping it confidential. You are responsible for any access to or use of your account by someone who has obtained your password, whether or not you approved of such access or use. Notify us of unauthorized use of your password or account immediately. We keep your personal data for only as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes in this Notice unless a longer retention period is required or permitted by law. This includes the purposes of satisfying legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the appropriate retention period for personal data, we consider the amount, nature, and sensitivity of the data. We also weigh the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of the data, the purposes for which we obtained the data and whether we can meet those purposes through other means, as well as applicable legal requirements. Transmission Of Data To Other Countries As a multi-national company, we send data between and among our affiliates. As a result, we may process your data in a country with less stringent privacy laws than the laws in the country that you reside. Where possible, we treat personal data using the same privacy principles that guide the law of the country in which we first receive your data. By submitting your personal data to us you agree to the transfer, storage, and processing of your data in a country other than your country of residence including, but not limited to, the United States.
