How to use Perplexity safely

  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Ask the provider explicitly where data is stored and processed.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: check per subscription what happens to your assets and prompts.

Questions

How safe is Perplexity for game development?
The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Ask before you put confidential game development data into it. The provider publishes little on this, ask before business use.
Does Perplexity train on my data?
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.
What should I watch out for with AI in game development?
Check per subscription what happens to your assets and prompts. Meshy and Convai may use your input and output to improve or train their services on standard plans (with Meshy you can opt out via support), Scenario does this on self-serve plans too and only contractually excludes it on Enterprise, and Ludo.ai reserves the right to train in its terms. On the free plan of Meshy, Meshy owns the output (use under CC BY 4.0 with attribution). Kaedim says it does not use your IP for training and is ISO 27001-certified, Cascadeur runs the AI tools locally and does not collect your animations as training data, and with Unity, training on your content is off by default. Most generative services store data in the US. Only put unreleased art, scripts or player data into a tool once a data processing agreement is in place, and for AI NPCs, check what the model might say to underage players.
