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.

What this means for you

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.

What you can do

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.
