Version history

Google rewrote one question in the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice. “How does Gemini Apps use my saved info and instructions?” is now “How do I manage what Gemini remembers about me and customize my responses?”, and the answer adds that, depending on eligibility and settings, Gemini can remember specific facts, interests and preferences across conversations, and that you can ask it to remember details by talking to it. The notice already described Gemini using past chats to personalize responses.

Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated to reflect a new agentic calling feature available on eligible Pixel devices. The feature allows Gemini to make calls on a user's behalf to complete tasks like restaurant reservations or store inquiries. Before each call, Gemini displays the information it will share (name, email, phone number, or task-relevant details) and requires user confirmation; sensitive data like credit card numbers and passwords are not shared. Call transcripts are stored on Google servers and used to generate summaries and display calling history in the app, but audio recordings are not used to train AI models.

Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated to document a new macOS feature called 'Speak to Window.' When users interact with this feature, Gemini captures audio from the microphone along with the active window to understand instructions and generate output. Transcripts are saved according to the user's Keep Activity setting and used to improve Gemini with human reviewer assistance, though audio data itself is not stored.

Google updated the language describing how Gemini shares user data when performing tasks on behalf of users. The previous version stated Gemini shares data 'with others to help complete your tasks' when using 'agentic features'. The updated version states Gemini shares 'necessary data with others on your behalf' when you 'ask Gemini to do things for you'. The change clarifies the scope of data sharing by specifying it occurs only when necessary and emphasizes the user-initiated nature of the data sharing.

Google Gemini's privacy notice restructured how it describes Google Pay transaction data handling. Previously, the notice stated transaction history was saved to Google Pay activity and used for personalization and ads per Google Payments Privacy Notice and user settings. The updated notice moves transaction history to Google Pay My Activity, relocates the data usage disclosure to a separate section, and adds explicit language stating that voice recordings are not used to train generative AI models except to address abuse or harm.

Google updated its Gemini Apps Privacy Notice to clarify data handling for new features and third-party integrations. The updated notice explicitly states that Google does not monitor or secure data from custom third-party Connected Apps, and warns that connecting them may expose data, passwords, devices, and accounts to unauthorized access. The notice also introduces temporary chats as an option that are not used to improve Google AI with human reviewers, and adds details about the Gemini Spark feature on macOS, which can interact directly with local files in connected folders.

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice to reflect new features and clarify data handling practices. The updated notice introduces disclosures about Gemini Spark (replacing Gemini Agent), new avatar creation features, and expanded task automation capabilities. The policy clarifies that data used to improve services through anonymized processing is separate from the Keep Activity setting, and adds warnings that Gemini can make mistakes when performing tasks like purchases or data sharing.

Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated to include references to 'Google Built-in' as an additional platform where Gemini operates. The updated language adds Google Built-in to the list of places where users can access Gemini and clarifies that precise location settings can be toggled off for Google Built-in, consistent with other platforms like Android Auto.

Google updated its Gemini Apps Privacy Notice to clarify the geographic scope of personalization features and expand consent language to explicitly include the Memory feature. The previous version stated that personalization applied only outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK; the updated version removes this geographic limitation and states that Gemini can personalize experience globally by referencing chats. The consent section now lists Memory alongside Voice Match as a feature requiring user consent, and the document changed how users control the Memory feature from a direct statement to a link for instructions.

Google updated its Gemini Apps Privacy Notice to clarify that imported chats are now explicitly included in the data users can review and delete through Gemini Apps Activity. The updated language specifies that when users visit Gemini Apps Activity to manage their data, they can review and delete their activity 'which includes imported chats', whereas the previous version did not explicitly mention imported chats in this context. This clarification makes transparent what data categories fall within the activity management and deletion controls available to users.

Google Gemini's privacy notice now discloses two new data practices: (1) users with Personal Intelligence can connect certain Google apps to Gemini for personalized experiences, and Google uses data from those Connected Apps to personalize the service; (2) users can import memory and chats from other AI platforms, which are saved in Activity and used to improve services including training generative AI models. Users can manage, delete, or bulk-delete imported data at any time.
