This clause establishes the default data practice for model training and specifies the mechanism by which users can opt out of this use. The provision clarifies that conversation data serves a dual function: both to provide the service and to improve Google's AI infrastructure.
The updated notice adds new disclosure sections explaining how data flows when using Gemini Spark (remote browser and computer access), how avatar creation collects and processes information, and clarifies that Google collects information about AI reasoning steps during task execution. The notice also refines language around subscription information to specify 'Google AI plan' rather than just generic 'paid subscription.' These changes do not establish new obligations but rather expand the transparency disclosures provided to users about existing and new features.
View change record →The updated notice now explicitly identifies Memory as a feature that operates on the basis of user consent, alongside Voice Match. The revised language removes prior geographic restrictions on personalization, meaning Gemini can now reference chat history to generate personalized insights for all users globally, not just those outside the EEA, Switzerland, and the UK. The removal of the statement 'Keep Activity must be on to use this feature' simplifies the operational requirement but does not establish a new obligation. You can learn how to turn the Memory feature on or off through the updated privacy notice.

This data is treated similarly to other Gemini activity. You can manage or delete your imported activity anytime through the Activity controls.
View change record →By default, conversations are used for model training purposes unless the user disables Gemini Apps Activity. Users who do not modify this setting operate under terms that authorize their conversation data to be incorporated into Google's training datasets.
