Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on March 19, 2026 with three language clarifications: the 'Last updated' date was corrected from March 20 to March 10, 2026; phrasing about turning off Memory was simplified from 'turn off Memory anytime to stop personalization' to 'turn off personalization anytime'; and references to 'Memory' as a feature name were generalized to 'this feature' in describing how sensitive information may be used for personalization. These are editorial and terminological adjustments with no material change to the underlying data practices or user controls described.
The updated privacy notice uses clarified language to describe personalization controls. Instead of referring to a 'Memory' feature specifically, the revised terms describe 'this feature' when explaining that sensitive information may be used for personalization. The control itself—the ability to turn off personalization at any time—remains available under both versions. No material change to data collection, retention, or user rights occurs; the change is terminological.
Simplified phrasing describing ability to turn off personalization; substantive control availability unchanged.
