“By submitting Content or any other material to Quizlet for inclusion on the Service or for any other purpose, for example posting a flashcard set, answering a survey or sending Quizlet an email, you grant Quizlet a world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license (with ri…”
Users grant a perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, sublicensable license over all submitted content — including inputs like flashcard sets and emails — with no compensation and covering all existing and future media. This is an extremely broad rights grab.
“ Information we receive when you choose to link any third-party platforms to your account, such as when you sign into your account through Google or Apple (“ Third Party Platform Information ”) or when you voluntarily link one or more of your health and wellness applications (suc…”

“you grant Quizlet a world-wide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free license (with right to sublicense through multiple tiers) to use, copy, reproduce, process, adapt, modify, publish, transmit, publicly display, publicly perform and distribute such Content or material in any and…”
The broad license to 'process' and 'adapt' submitted content, combined with the 'additional uses' catch-all and sublicensing rights to partners, is broad enough to encompass AI/ML training use. No explicit opt-out is provided.
“ If we become aware that we have unknowingly collected information about a child under 13 years of age or the relevant minimum age in your jurisdiction, we will make commercially reasonable efforts to delete such information. If you are the parent or guardian of a child under the…”

“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.
“We retain records of support tickets and other communications between Quizlet and our users, for example support emails, survey responses, feedback submissions, or comments on our blogs or other posts, indefinitely in order to better manage our support processes, maintain accurat…”
Support communications are retained indefinitely AND Quizlet reserves the right to publish them publicly; users submitting support requests may not be aware their communications could be published.
“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.
