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.
The updated notice clarifies how users can manage personalization on Gemini Apps, replacing specific feature terminology with more general language. Users retain the same ability to disable personalization; the change affects how that control is described in the privacy documentation rather than the control itself or the data practices underlying it.
Simplified phrasing describing ability to turn off personalization; substantive control availability unchanged.
Changed specific reference to 'Memory' feature to generic 'this feature' in describing sensitive information use for personalization.

This change consists of editorial clarifications to the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice: a corrected publication date and simplified language around personalization controls. No material shift in data practices, consent mechanisms, or retention policies is introduced. No new regulatory compliance obligations are created by these edits. This update does not warrant escalation unless internal documentation or DPA language references specific feature naming conventions that may now require corresponding updates.
