Google Gemini updated its privacy notice regarding Google Pay transaction data handling on July 13, 2026. Previously, the notice stated that transaction history is saved to Google Pay activity and used for personalization and ads according to Google Payments Privacy Notice and user settings. The updated language now states transaction history is saved to Google Pay My Activity, and separately describes how this data is used in accordance with Google Payments Privacy Notice, Google Pay, and Google Wallet settings for personalization and ads. Additionally, the updated notice adds explicit language stating Google does not use voice recordings to train its generative AI models except to address abuse or harm.
The updated terms clarify where and how Google stores Google Pay transaction data and how it is used for personalization and ads, anchoring these practices to Google Pay and Google Wallet settings. The notice now explicitly states that Google does not use voice recordings to train its generative AI models except to address abuse or harm, providing clarity on a previously unaddressed practice. You can review and adjust your Google Pay and Google Wallet settings to control how transaction data is used for personalization and advertising.
