This is the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice, covering what data Google collects when users interact with Gemini products, how that data is used, and what controls are available. The notice states that conversations with Gemini, including text and audio inputs, may be reviewed by human annotators for up to three years to improve AI models, and that this retention can persist even after a user deletes their Gemini Apps Activity. Additionally, the notice discloses that Gemini outputs may be inaccurate or inappropriate and should not be treated as professional advice, and that users who are not signed in to a Google Account have more limited data controls available to them.
This document is the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice (last updated May 5, 2026), governing data collection, use, retention, and sharing practices for Google's Gemini applications, including the Gemini web app, mobile app, and Gemini extensions. The notice states that Google collects conversations with Gemini, location information, feedback, usage information, and device information; the terms authorize use of this data to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services, including use of conversations to train AI models by human reviewers unless users turn off Gemini Apps Activity or use certain enterprise accounts. A materially distinct provision is that human reviewers may read, annotate, and process conversations for up to three years even after a user deletes their Gemini Apps Activity, and that audio inputs may be transcribed and retained separately from activity controls; the notice further states that Gemini may generate inaccurate information about people and that users should not rely on outputs as professional advice. The notice engages GDPR (for EEA users), UK data protection law, CCPA and California privacy law, COPPA (the notice restricts use to users of required age and addresses minors), and general FTC Act jurisdiction over unfair or deceptive practices; compliance teams should note that the three-year reviewer retention period and the persistence of audio transcriptions outside activity deletion controls may require evaluation under data minimization and purpose limitation principles under GDPR and similar frameworks. Jurisdiction-specific rights including data access, deletion, portability, and objection are disclosed for EEA, UK, Switzerland, and US state residents, with exercise routed through Google's privacy tools.
