The business, perplexity.ai, is a GoDaddy doman, registered in 2022, and privacy protected by a company in Arizona. They want your email because you are data (which will be verified by Google or Apple), as well as a potential repeat customer. Their office is a small rental space at 115 Sansome St. Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94104. They want their app(s) to be loaded onto your devices.

And you can buy a lovely PPLX Labs Cap in their e-store for only $26.00.

Not to mention tee shirts, sweatshirts, stickers, prints for $34 and more. A mug with a logo? They'll sell it to you. And likely you, when a customer, will also be sold....

It’s fine to be cautious about any tech company, but it’s important to separate facts from emotional framing.

Listing real facts with a negative spin is a classic example of "poisoning the well" — creating distrust without proving actual wrongdoing.

Perplexity AI offers optional apps, sells merchandise (like many companies do), and collects emails for account management — just standard practice, not evidence of anything shady.

It’s better to focus on real practices, not insinuations.

And as to this:

They want their app(s) to be loaded onto your devices.
That statement is misleading. You can use Perplexity AI entirely through a web browser without installing any app.

Back in the 1990’s I worked at an insurance company and we had a 3rd party who we would send our customer and lead data to have it cleansed and profiled. It was amazing how much info there was on folks back then. We asked one of the company reps how they built the profiles on salary and they said, did you ever buy a $20 toaster and fill out the warranty card that asked that information? She said you’d be surprised how many people do and are truthful. Imagine the info they have on you today.
