Change Summary
Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated on May 5, 2026 to add references to 'Google Built-in' as a new Gemini deployment option alongside existing platforms like Android Auto, Maps, and Chrome. The updated language now includes Google Built-in in the list of ways users can access Gemini and specifies that precise location settings can be managed for Google Built-in in the same manner as Android Auto. This clarifies that the location data handling practices disclosed for other Gemini platforms now also apply to this new Google Built-in version.
