Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on April 19, 2026 to add disclosure about imported data from other AI platforms and clarify how imported chats are treated within its data management tools. The policy now explicitly states that imported chats are included in the activity data you can review and delete through Gemini Apps Activity, and it introduces a new section explaining what happens to data when you import memory or conversations from competing AI services. The change expands the documented scope of data collection to include imported materials and provides clearer operational procedures for managing that data.
The updated privacy notice now explicitly discloses that when you import chats or memory from other AI platforms, Google Gemini collects and processes that imported data. The policy clarifies that imported chats are included in your Gemini Apps Activity, meaning you can review and delete imported content using the same controls available for native Gemini conversations. The addition of a dedicated section on imported data represents expanded documentation of a data collection practice rather than a new operational capability. You can access Gemini Apps Activity to delete imported chats and control whether your data is used to improve Google AI.
The updated terms establish explicit documentation of data sourcing practices when users import chats or memory from other AI platforms. This clarification increases transparency about what data Gemini collects and processes, and confirms that imported data is subject to the same user deletion and management controls as natively generated content. The change does not expand Gemini's collection authority but makes existing practices more visible in the privacy documentation.
→ Review the new 'Imported data from other AI platforms' section in Gemini Apps Privacy Notice to understand how your imported chats and memory are handled.
→ Visit Gemini Apps Activity to review, delete, or manage imported chats using the same controls available for native Gemini conversations.
→ Users may be unaware that imported data from other platforms is collected and processable by Gemini.
→ Without reviewing the updated disclosure, users may not be familiar with the location and procedure for deleting imported chat data.
Policy now includes a new section titled 'What happens to my data when I import memory or chats from other AI platforms?' establishing transparency about cross-platform data sourcing.
Updated language clarifies that imported chats are included in Gemini Apps Activity, enabling users to review, delete, and manage imported content alongside native conversation data.
This change record describes what was added, removed, or modified in the document. Analysis reflects what the updated agreement states or permits. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Applicability may vary by jurisdiction. Methodology
Google added explicit disclosure that imported data from other AI platforms is collected and processed by Gemini, and that imported chats appear in user-deletable activity records. This change clarifies rather than expands operational practice, but it does increase documented transparency around data sourcing. Organizations evaluating Gemini for enterprise use should confirm that their data processing agreements account for cross-platform data imports and that their privacy notices to end users disclose Gemini's handling of imported data if Gemini processes customer data. No new regulatory compliance obligation is created by the disclosure itself, but the language may affect how organizations represent their own data flows to regulators or users.
