Perplexity is an AI-driven tool that helps answer web search questions quickly. The service automatically opts users in to use their data to refine and train its AI systems. If privacy matters to you, here’s a quick guide to disabling data usage in Perplexity.
- Log in to your Perplexity account.
- Look for your account name—typically in the upper-right corner—and click it to open the Settings.
- Scroll to the Account section until you find the “AI Data Retention” option.
- Switch the toggle to “off” to prevent Perplexity from using your interactions for AI training.
Following these steps helps keep your data out of Perplexity’s learning process.
