This document establishes Google's data collection, use, and retention practices for Gemini Apps. Google collects conversation data, location information, and usage metrics, and authorizes human reviewers to read and annotate conversations to improve AI models, with retention periods extending up to 3 years. Users may disable Gemini Apps Activity in Google Account settings and delete conversation history through myactivity.google.com.
This document is the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice, governing data collection, retention, and use practices for Google's Gemini AI applications, including Gemini, Gemini Advanced, and related extensions. The notice states that Google collects conversations, location information, feedback, and usage information, and the terms authorize human reviewers to read, annotate, and process conversations to improve AI models, with a default retention period of up to 3 years for conversations even when Gemini Apps Activity is turned off. The notice discloses that conversations submitted to Gemini may be used to train and improve Google products, and that users should not submit sensitive personal information, confidential data, or information they would not want reviewed; it also states that conversations with Gemini extensions may be shared with third-party services. The notice engages with GDPR, CCPA, and other regional privacy frameworks, referencing the broader Google Privacy Policy for additional detail, though the specific legal bases for processing and the scope of third-party data sharing through extensions require evaluation under applicable law, particularly for EU/EEA users where consent and purpose limitation requirements apply. The policy's disclosure that human reviewers access conversation content, and that data may be retained for up to 3 years even after activity controls are toggled off, creates material compliance considerations for organizations whose employees or customers may submit sensitive information through Gemini.
