Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on May 24, 2026 with two minor language corrections. The first change fixed the phrase 'Where Gemini Apps get location data & how its used' to read 'Where Gemini Apps get location data & how it's used' (correcting the possessive to a contraction). The second change corrected 'You can also delete remote browser data in your Gemini Spark setting' to 'You can also delete remote browser data in your Gemini Spark settings' (pluralizing 'setting' to 'settings'). These are grammatical and stylistic corrections with no change to the operational substance of the privacy policy.

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on May 19, 2026 to add new disclosure sections, clarify how data collection works with new features like Gemini Spark and Avatars, and refine language around data use and retention. The notice now explicitly describes how the platform collects information about AI reasoning steps, distinguishes between different Connected Apps scenarios, and adds a section on avatar creation data. The operational difference is that users now have more detailed disclosure of what data types are collected and how specific features process information.

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on May 13, 2026 to expand the stated purpose of personalizing user experience. The previous language stated that Gemini personalizes your experience by referencing chats and generating insights. The updated language adds that Gemini can personalize your experience and help you get things done, like tasks, using the same mechanism. This clarifies that the data referenced for personalization now extends to task completion and productivity features.

Google Gemini added a new section to its privacy notice describing data handling for a new Notebooks feature. The updated terms state that chats with Notebooks are saved according to the user's Keep Activity setting and may be used to improve Gemini with help from human reviewers. Files added to Notebooks as sources are not used directly to train generative AI models. This clarifies how data flows through the new Notebooks feature specifically.

Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated on May 5, 2026 to remove references to 'Google Built-in' from two locations. The first change removed 'Google Built-in Gemini' from a sentence describing how precise location data may be received from other Google services; the updated text now reads 'Gemini may receive your precise location data from another Google service, like Android Auto, to fulfill your request even if the precise location settings above are off.' The second change removed a reference to 'Google Built-in' from a sentence directing users to learn how to turn off precise location, so the text now reads 'Learn how to turn off precise location in Android Auto' instead of 'Android Auto and Google Built-in.' These are editorial removals that appear to reflect changes in product naming or terminology rather than changes to data collection practices or location handling policies.

Google Gemini's privacy notice was updated on May 5, 2026 to add references to 'Google Built-in' as a new Gemini deployment option alongside existing platforms like Android Auto, Maps, and Chrome. The updated language now includes Google Built-in in the list of ways users can access Gemini and specifies that precise location settings can be managed for Google Built-in in the same manner as Android Auto. This clarifies that the location data handling practices disclosed for other Gemini platforms now also apply to this new Google Built-in version.

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on April 30, 2026 to clarify its Memory feature and expand the scope of personalization practices. The updated language now lists Memory alongside Voice Match as a feature that relies on user consent. Additionally, the terms changed to state that Gemini can personalize experience based on chat history globally, whereas the prior version restricted this to users outside the European Economic Area, Switzerland, and the UK. The removal of a sentence requiring Activity to remain enabled for the Memory feature represents a change to how the personalization mechanism operates.

Google updated its Gemini Apps Privacy Notice on April 29, 2026 to clarify how it describes audio and video data collection from Gemini Live interactions. Previously, the policy referred to 'audio, recordings and transcripts' and 'audio and Live recordings'; the updated language now explicitly includes 'Gemini Live videos and screenshares' as types of data collected and retained. The practical effect is that the policy more clearly discloses what forms of Gemini Live interaction data are captured, retained in saved activity, and potentially used to improve Google services when that setting is enabled.

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on April 19, 2026 to add disclosure about imported data from other AI platforms and clarify how imported chats are treated within its data management tools. The policy now explicitly states that imported chats are included in the activity data you can review and delete through Gemini Apps Activity, and it introduces a new section explaining what happens to data when you import memory or conversations from competing AI services. The change expands the documented scope of data collection to include imported materials and provides clearer operational procedures for managing that data.

This appears in the Related Resources section at the end of the document. The addition provides a direct reference to app management and deletion instructions for Android users, but does not modify any privacy practices, data collection disclosures, or rights.

Google Gemini updated its privacy notice on March 27, 2026 to describe how data from connected Google apps and imported data from other AI platforms is used to personalize your Gemini experience. The new language states that eligible users can connect certain Google apps to Gemini for personalized features, and that imported memory or chats from other AI platforms are saved in your Activity and used to improve services, including training generative AI models. This describes newly disclosed practices related to data from Connected Apps and cross-platform data imports, though the change does not appear to introduce fundamentally new permissions beyond what was previously authorized in the existing privacy notice.

Google Gemini removed language describing how users could personalize their Gemini experience using data from connected Google apps. The updated notice no longer explains the Connected Apps personalization feature, eligibility requirements, or how to enable this functionality. This means the policy no longer discloses this data use practice, though it remains unclear whether the underlying feature itself has been discontinued or simply removed from the privacy notice.

Google updated its Gemini Apps Privacy Notice on March 21, 2026, making four specific language changes. The policy now refers to 'Memory' as the explicit name of the feature that enables personalization based on past chats, whereas previously it used only the descriptor 'personalization based on your past Gemini chats.' The operational effect is clarification: users can now 'turn off Memory anytime' instead of the less specific 'turn off personalization,' and the policy now states 'If Memory is on' rather than 'If this feature is on.' These changes add explicit terminology for a feature that was previously described more generically.
