Before you start
- Go to perplexity.ai and sign in
- Click your profile icon and go to Settings
- Check the Account tab for any "Export" or "Data" option — it may be available depending on your account type
How to download
- If the export option is visible: click "Request data export" in Settings > Account
- If not available: email privacy@perplexity.ai with subject "Data Export Request" and your registered email address
- You should receive a response within 30 days (legally required under GDPR/CCPA)
- As a fallback, manually copy important threads using the Share or Copy options on individual threads
Pro tip
Perplexity doesn't yet offer a self-serve bulk data export like ChatGPT does. Your best option right now is to email privacy@perplexity.ai with a GDPR or CCPA data request — they are legally required to respond. For Pro users, the web interface has a "Request data export" option appearing in some accounts under Settings.
After the download
- Review your threads for sensitive queries, personal information, or data you no longer want stored
- Delete individual thread history from Perplexity if no longer needed (Settings > Account > Delete history)
- Store any exported files in an encrypted location like ProtonDrive or pCloud
