Atlas Browser Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 2025

Overview

Atlas Browser is a free AI browser experience operated by Perplexity. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices available to you. By using Atlas Browser you agree to the practices described here.

Information We Collect

Because Atlas Browser currently operates without required accounts, we focus on limited operational data:

Session Data: Temporary tokens, language preferences, and feature flags needed to keep the browser experience running during your visit.
Interaction Data: Prompts you enter, AI responses generated, and links you open so we can provide the requested conversation, summaries, and citations.
Device and Performance Data: Browser type, operating system, screen size, and error logs that help us maintain compatibility and diagnose issues.
Cookies and Local Storage: Essential cookies remember preferences such as theme or locale. You can clear them through your browser at any time.

We do not collect payment information or require personal identifiers such as your name or email to use the beta experience. If optional sign-in capabilities are introduced later, additional disclosures will appear at the point of collection.

How We Use Information

We use the information described above to:

Deliver conversational answers, summaries, and saved workspaces you request.
Improve relevance, safety, and performance of Atlas Browser and our AI models.
Detect abuse and maintain the security and integrity of the service.
Generate aggregated analytics to understand product usage and prioritize new features.

Perplexity does not sell your personal information. We may share limited data:

Service Providers assisting with hosting, analytics, monitoring, or content delivery under confidentiality obligations.
Legal and Safety obligations when required by law or to respond to security incidents.
Business Transfers if Perplexity undergoes a merger, acquisition, or asset sale, in which case data will continue to be protected under this Policy or a successor policy with comparable safeguards.

Data Retention and Security

We retain interaction logs and diagnostic data only as long as necessary to deliver the service, troubleshoot issues, and improve quality. We apply industry-standard security measures, including encryption in transit, access controls, and routine audits, to protect stored data. However, no method of transmission or storage is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your Choices

You may clear Atlas Browser cookies and local storage at any time through your browser settings.
You can request deletion of interaction logs associated with identifiable tokens by contacting us at the address below. We may need additional information to verify your request.
You may stop using Atlas Browser at any time to halt further data collection.

Children's Privacy

Atlas Browser is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided us data, please contact us so we can delete it.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy. We will revise the "Last updated" date and, when material changes occur, provide additional notice. Continued use of Atlas Browser after a change becomes effective indicates your acceptance of the updated Policy.
