Two platforms.
Same questions.
Perplexity AI
ENTERPRISE SEARCH / PRODUCTIVITY
PROMPT
Users retain ownership of their queries and uploaded content per Perplexity's Terms.
OUTPUT
Perplexity does not claim ownership of AI-generated answers. Output IP status is not explicitly addressed.
TRAINING
Privacy Policy (effective February 5, 2026) states Perplexity uses data 'to improve the Services (including our AI models).' Opt-out is explicitly available in settings. Email/calendar integration data is explicitly excluded from AI training: 'we do not use or disclose Email Service Information to create, train, improve or fine-tune AI models.'
COMMERCIAL
Commercial use governed by plan tier. API use is explicitly commercial-use-permitted.

Prezi
WORKFLOW & AUTOMATION
PROMPT
Prezi explicitly states it makes no claim of ownership to User Content and obtains no rights beyond those granted in the Agreement. However, users must grant Prezi a broad worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable license to their content. For Public User Content, this license is perpetual and covers any purpose. For Private User Content, the license persists for one year post-deletion (or two years for EEA residents as a backup; indefinitely for non-EEA residents as a backup). Users retain underlying ownership but grant extensive use rights by uploading content.
OUTPUT
Deliverables from Professional Services are licensed to the user on a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide basis solely for use within their Prezi account — initially on a 60-day trial basis, then continuing until account expiration or termination if no written termination notice is issued. Users grant co-editors, invited viewers, team administrators, and organizations broad worldwide licenses to access, modify, distribute, and transmit their content (both Public and Private). Prezi retains the right to use Public User Content (excluding usernames) to train its AI models and services. No exclusive or transferable ownership of outputs is confirmed for users.
TRAINING
Prezi explicitly reserves the right to use reusable Public User Content to train its own algorithms, models, and AI products and services, including Prezi AI. Additionally, Prezi may share reusable Public User Content with third-party AI partners, who may use it for their own commercial purposes including training and improving their AI algorithms and models and conducting AI research and development. AI chat session content may be retained in anonymized or aggregated form to refine and improve Prezi's AI models. No equivalent training use is stated for Private User Content.
COMMERCIAL
Prezi may share reusable Public User Content with third-party AI partners who may use it for their own commercial purposes, including AI training and research. The license granted to Prezi for Public User Content explicitly covers promotion and marketing of Prezi products and services. Users are prohibited from using the Prezi Services for their own commercial solicitation, spamming, or advertising, and must respect third-party license restrictions (e.g., Creative Commons non-commercial licenses) when incorporating licensed assets.

Deliverables from Professional Services are licensed to the user on a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide basis solely for use within their Prezi account — initially on a 60-day trial basis, then continuing until account expiration or termination if no written termination notice is issued. Users grant co-editors, invited viewers, team administrators, and organizations broad worldwide licenses to access, modify, distribute, and transmit their content (both Public and Private).

User data — which includes 'most' categories described above (including Service Interaction Information, i.e., prompts and outputs) — may be used to improve AI models. No opt-out mechanism is described here.
Prezi
HIGH⚠ CAUTIONHIGH
Prezi explicitly reserves the right to use reusable Public User Content to train its own algorithms, models, and AI products and services, including Prezi AI. Additionally, Prezi may share reusable Public User Content with third-party AI partners, who may use it for their own commercial purposes including training and improving their AI algorithms and models and conducting AI research and development.

“Re-useable Public User Content. If your content is designated as Public User Content, you may choose to “allow re-use” of that content (in the case of videos that are designated Public User Content, you are required to allow re-use). We may share your reusable Public User Content…”
Public User Content (and for videos, mandatorily so) may be shared with third-party AI partners for training and commercial AI R&D. Users on free/public accounts have very limited ability to opt out of this use.

The license granted to Prezi for Public User Content explicitly covers promotion and marketing of Prezi products and services. Users are prohibited from using the Prezi Services for their own commercial solicitation, spamming, or advertising, and must respect third-party license restrictions (e.g., Creative Commons non-commercial licenses) when incorporating licensed assets.

Data Privacy
Perplexity AI
HIGH⚠ CAUTIONMED
Standard plan: personal, non-commercial use only. Enterprise terms at perplexity.ai/hub/legal/enterprise-terms-of-service. Email/calendar integration data explicitly excluded from AI model training.
“To the extent the laws in your jurisdiction do not recognize the legal basis of legitimate interest or another legal basis specified above for a particular purpose, you consent to the processing of your personal information for that purpose through using the Services.”
Perplexity uses mere use of the Services as implied consent for processing where 'legitimate interests' is not recognized as a valid legal basis. This is a broad fallback consent mechanism that may not be valid under GDPR or other strict privacy regimes.

“This Privacy Policy does not cover the use of the Perplexity API or Enterprise Pro, where we act solely as a processor, and which are governed by the applicable Terms and Conditions, including the Data Processing Addendum incorporated therein, that you agree to when signing up fo…”
API and Enterprise Pro users have different (and potentially stronger) data-processor protections under a DPA, whereas free/Pro/Max users are governed by this policy which permits broader use of their data.

Free account users have all content made public by default with no general right to privacy; only users with 'specific licenses' may create private content. This represents a significant tier-based risk difference.
