Perplexity AI faces a proposed class action lawsuit in federal court in San Francisco, alleging it surreptitiously shared users’ personal data with Meta and Google in breach of California privacy laws.
The complaint says trackers sent users’ conversations, including in “Incognito” mode, to Meta and Google.
The lawsuit was brought by a Utah man listed as John Doe, who also names Meta and Google for alleged computer privacy and fraud violations.
Meta cited its rules against sensitive data sharing, while Perplexity said it has not been served the lawsuit.
