Google Gemini updated its privacy policy on March 28, 2026 to clarify that 'imported chats' are now listed as a type of data you can share with Gemini Apps, and that your activity history (which includes those imported chats) can be reviewed and deleted. Previously, imported chats were not explicitly mentioned as collected data. This matters because users should be aware that any chats they import into Gemini are stored and associated with their account activity.
Users who import chats into Gemini should now know this data is explicitly collected and stored as part of their activity history. The update gives users clearer visibility into what data Google holds about them and how to delete it.
Google Gemini updated its privacy policy to explicitly include 'imported chats' as a category of data you share with the service and as part of your stored activity history. This means any chats you import into Gemini are collected and retained like other interaction data. You can visit Gemini Apps Activity to review and delete your activity, including imported chats.
Google Gemini's March 28, 2026 privacy notice update adds 'imported chats' as an explicitly named data category collected from users, and clarifies that the Gemini Apps Activity tool covers this data type. For organizations with Gemini in their vendor stack, this is a disclosure clarification rather than a new data practice — but it surfaces a data category that may not have been accounted for in existing DPAs or data inventories. Compliance teams should verify that 'imported chats' are reflected in their records of processing activities and vendor risk assessments. No immediate action is required, but a data inventory review is warranted.
1. GDPR Art. 13(1)(c) — requires data controllers to inform data subjects of the purposes and legal basis for processing personal data at the time of collection. Adding 'imported chats' as an explicit data category strengthens Gemini's Art. 13 compliance but may prompt DPOs at organizations using Gemini to reassess whether their own notices adequately disclose this data flow.
