Why it matters

If your account address is outdated or incorrect, you may be subject to the wrong agreement version, potentially affecting your legal rights and protections.

Consumer impact

Gemini applies different contractual terms to users depending on their U.S. state of residence, meaning your legal rights and obligations may differ significantly from those of users in other states. Residents of Idaho, Louisiana, New York, Ohio, and Texas are subject to a distinct agreement compared to those in all other listed states and territories. You can verify which agreement applies to you by checking the address listed on your Gemini account profile.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Log in to your Gemini account and navigate to account settings. Verify that the address on file correctly reflects your current state of residence. Update if necessary to ensure the correct User Agreement version applies to your account.
