Cross-Service Data Sharing Within Google

Medium severity

What it is

Data from your Gemini conversations may be shared with and used by other Google products and services, subject to Google's broader Privacy Policy.

Why it matters

Your Gemini interactions may influence what ads you see, how Google Search personalises results, and other Google services — creating a broad data profile that extends well beyond the Gemini app itself.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Cross-service data flows within a large platform ecosystem raise concerns under GDPR's purpose limitation principle (Article 5(1)(b)), CCPA's definition of 'sale' and 'sharing' for cross-context behavioural advertising, and EU Digital Markets Act obligations applicable to Google as a designated gatekeeper.

Consumer impact

Your conversations with Gemini, including any personal or sensitive information you share, may be reviewed by Google employees and used to train AI models. Chat history is retained for up to 18 months by default, and Google may use this data across its broader ecosystem of services. You can delete your Gemini conversation history by visiting myactivity.google.com and disabling or clearing Gemini Apps Activity.

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.

Applicable agencies
