What Perplexity does in notarial work

Core tasks for notaries
Where Perplexity is strong

The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Ask about this before you put confidential notarial data into it.

Confidentiality and GDPR

GDPR: Unknown

Notaries are bound by strict confidentiality (art. 22 Wna) and liability for the content of deeds. Client data is personal data under the GDPR; audio recordings of signing meetings must not be sent unencrypted to external servers. Only use systems with EU hosting and a data processing agreement, where input is not used for model training. AI output for deeds and advice always requires verification by a qualified notary.

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.

Rule of thumb Use the business variant with a data processing agreement, and keep a human in the loop for decisions that matter.
