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: cultivation and climate data is commercially sensitive: it reveals your growing strategy, yield and energy use.

Questions

How safe is Perplexity for horticulture?
The maker of Perplexity publishes little about data protection. Ask about this before you put confidential horticulture data into it. The provider publishes little on this, ask about it 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 look out for with AI in greenhouse horticulture?
Cultivation and climate data are commercially sensitive: they reveal your growing strategy, yield and energy consumption. Put in the contract that you remain owner of your data, where it is stored (ask for EU hosting) and whether the provider may use anonymised data from your greenhouse to improve its algorithms. If there is a chat function, ask which language model and which sub-processors sit behind it; most greenhouse platforms do not disclose this. If you record labour per employee, or cameras and robots capture images showing staff, you are processing personal data: conclude a data processing agreement and inform your employees. Never let an autonomous control system run without boundaries: set minimum and maximum values, keep alerts active and remain ultimately responsible for the crop and crop protection yourself.
