Change Summary

Google Gemini removed several sentences from its privacy policy on March 23, 2026 that described a feature allowing eligible users to connect Google apps to Gemini for personalized experiences based on their data. Previously, the policy explained how users could opt in to 'personalization with Connected Apps' and how Google would use data from those apps to tailor the Gemini experience. Now that language is gone, leaving it unclear whether this feature still exists, has been discontinued, or is simply no longer disclosed.
