Google Gemini updated product naming in its privacy notice on July 23, 2026. The document previously referred to 'Notebooks' and 'NotebookLM' when describing where files are saved and where privacy information can be accessed. The updated language now refers to these products as 'notebooks' (lowercase) and 'Gemini Notebook', establishing consistent naming conventions across the privacy disclosure.
The updated privacy notice clarifies product naming by replacing 'Notebooks' and 'NotebookLM' with 'Gemini Notebook' and lowercase 'notebooks'. This does not change what data is collected, how it is used, or what privacy protections apply. The change is a terminology update to align product references across the privacy disclosure.
The updated naming ensures consistent product identification across Google Gemini's privacy documentation. This clarification helps users locate the correct privacy terms and understand where their notebooks are stored.
Gemini Notebook replaces Notebooks as the product name in privacy disclosures.
