Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium May 21, 2026

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.

Medium Apr 30, 2026

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.

Medium Mar 27, 2026

The updated privacy notice now discloses that Gemini can use data from connected Google apps and imported memory or chats from other AI platforms to personalize your experience and to improve services, including training generative AI models. This data is treated similarly to other Gemini activity. You can manage or delete your imported activity anytime through the Activity controls.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

When you use Gemini, Google collects your conversations, location, device data, and feedback, and may use this to train AI models and allow human reviewers to read your chats. Your conversation history is stored for up to 3 years by default, even if you delete it from your view, with some data retained for up to 18 months in separate review logs. You can turn off Gemini Apps Activity at myaccount.google.com to stop your conversations from being used for AI model training.

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.
  • Opt Out of Arbitration
    Go to myaccount.google.com, navigate to 'Data & Privacy', select 'Gemini Apps Activity', and toggle it off to stop your conversations from being used for AI model training.

ConductAtlas Analysis

Institutional analysis (Compliance & governance intelligence)

Use of personal data for AI model training as a default setting may conflict with GDPR's data minimization and purpose limitation principles (Articles 5 and 6) and requires a lawful basis. Under CPRA, use of personal information for AI training beyond the primary service purpose may require opt-out mechanisms for California residents.
