Change Summary
Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated on May 5, 2026 to remove references to 'Google Built-in' from two locations. The first change removed 'Google Built-in Gemini' from a sentence describing how precise location data may be received from other Google services; the updated text now reads 'Gemini may receive your precise location data from another Google service, like Android Auto, to fulfill your request even if the precise location settings above are off.' The second change removed a reference to 'Google Built-in' from a sentence directing users to learn how to turn off precise location, so the text now reads 'Learn how to turn off precise location in Android Auto' instead of 'Android Auto and Google Built-in.' These are editorial removals that appear to reflect changes in product naming or terminology rather than changes to data collection practices or location handling policies.
