The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Check this before you put confidential childcare data into it.
Confidentiality and GDPR
GDPR: UnknownChild data and family data are special category personal data (GDPR). AI applications for childcare quickly fall into the high-risk category of the EU AI Act: human oversight is legally required. Only use systems with EU hosting and a data processing agreement; audio recordings of the group must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. Never enter children's names or personal data into a consumer version of a chatbot.
Enterprise plans and the Sonar API are not trained on customer data (SOC 2 Type II; API with zero data retention). For consumer accounts, data use for model improvement can be switched off in the settings.
