Change Summary

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on March 21, 2026, renaming the 'personalization based on past chats' feature to 'Memory' in its policy language. The wording around turning off this feature now explicitly references 'Memory' as the named setting rather than a generic description. This is primarily a terminology clarification, but it signals that 'Memory' is now an official, named feature in Gemini with its own toggle — important for users who care about controlling how their past conversations are used to personalize AI responses.
