Does Perplexity train on my data?

What should I look out for with AI in childcare?
Child 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.
