How to remove yourself from Perplexity

Perplexity is an AI answer engine that both trains on data and surfaces live information about people.

1. In account settings, turn off any “AI data retention” or improvement option.
2. Delete your account from account settings if you no longer use it.
3. If Perplexity surfaces personal information about you, use its privacy/contact form to request removal and cite the source pages.
4. Remove the underlying sources too — AI answer engines cite data brokers heavily, so the Start Here checklist is the real fix.
