Perplexity's EU privacy policy drops its Data Privacy Framework section and update notice

✓ Machine-checked

The new version removes the paragraph stating Perplexity complies with the EU-U.S. and UK Data Privacy Framework, including its complaint-handling, FTC oversight and binding arbitration commitments. The 'Privacy Notice Updated' banner, which said it does not sell personal data or send queries to advertisers, is also gone. Nothing was added in its place in this diff.
