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.
The updated terms explicitly limit the use of voice recordings for AI model training to abuse prevention, addressing a potential transparency gap in prior language. The clarification of transaction data storage location and governance anchors data handling to specific Google services and user-configurable settings, improving operational specificity of the privacy notice.
→ Review and adjust your Google Pay and Google Wallet settings to control how transaction data is used for personalization and ads.
→ Transaction data will continue to be used for personalization and ads according to your Google Pay and Google Wallet settings as stated in the updated terms.

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
This change represents a clarification of existing data handling practices and an addition of explicit disclosure regarding AI training limitations. The updated language specifies that transaction data usage is governed by Google Pay and Google Wallet settings, which shifts reference points but does not materially expand data processing authority. The added disclosure regarding voice recording use for AI training addresses a potential compliance and transparency consideration under general privacy frameworks, but appears designed to limit rather than expand such use. No new legal obligation appears to be created by this change; it primarily clarifies existing practices and adds a protective disclosure.
GDPR (transparency and lawfulness of processing), CCPA (disclosure of data use practices), EU AI Act (if voice recordings are processed by AI systems)
