Google Gemini updated its Privacy Notice on March 28, 2026 to add 'imported chats' as a data type the platform collects from users, and clarified that the Gemini Apps Activity tool can be used to delete imported chats along with other activity. The previous version did not explicitly mention imported chats as collected data or reference them in the activity deletion settings.
The updated Privacy Notice now explicitly names 'imported chats' as a category of information that Gemini Apps collects from users. The previous notice did not disclose this data type. The policy also clarifies that users can review and delete imported chats through the Gemini Apps Activity tool, the same control available for other interaction data. This change makes the scope of chat data collection more explicit, though the actual collection of imported chat data may have occurred under prior versions of the policy.
→ Review your Gemini Apps Activity settings to view and delete imported chats, which now explicitly appear in deletion controls
→ Adjust your auto-delete period in Gemini Apps Activity if you wish to automatically remove imported chats after a set duration
