Do Google and Perplexity train on your chats?
As each company's privacy pages put it on September 28, 2026. Neither question arises on llmwise: it doesn't train on your content, and you decide when a chat is deleted.
| App | Training on your chats | How to opt out | Retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini | Yes, unless you opt out | Turn off Keep Activity, or use temporary chats | 18 months by default (3 or 36 to choose); 72 hours with Keep Activity off; reviewed chats up to 3 years |
| Perplexity | Yes, unless you opt out | Turn off the AI Data Usage toggle in Settings | Not stated on the page we read |
“Google uses your activity to provide, develop, and improve its services (including training generative AI models), as well as to protect Google, its users, and the public with the help of human reviewers.”
Quoted from Gemini Apps Privacy Hub
“Yes, we use this data to improve the search experience for our users.”
Quoted from Perplexity Help Center: What data does Perplexity collect about me?
Both in one: llmwise Pro
llmwise Pro ($20) beside both plans. Its monthly counts assume the allowance goes to one model.
| Model | Google AI Pro | Perplexity Pro | llmwise Pro |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini 4 Argon | Not named on its pages | Not offered | Up to 62 a month |
| Gemini 3.1 Pro (preview) | Expanded access: 4x the free limits | Not offered | Up to 125 a month |
| Gemini 3.8 Flash | Included, as on the free tier | You can pick it; Perplexity publishes no count | Up to 250 a month |
| GPT-6 Sol | Not offered: Gemini only | You can pick it; Perplexity publishes no count | Up to 125 a month |
| Claude Sonnet 5 | Not offered: Gemini only | You can pick it; Perplexity publishes no count | Up to 125 a month |
| Kimi K3 | Not offered: Gemini only | You can pick it; Perplexity publishes no count | Up to 125 a month |
Behind Pro's counts is a $7.50 monthly ceiling on AI cost, its fair-use limit: typical use stays under it, and huge messages or deep research get there first. Every limit, explained.
