Google employees and contractors may read and annotate the conversations you have with Gemini, even though Google states steps are taken to disconnect conversations from your account before review.

This provision establishes the operational procedure by which Google implements human review of user content as part of its safety and quality assurance processes, and specifies the privacy protection mechanism (account disconnection) applied during that review.
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.
View change record →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.
View change record →The updated privacy notice no longer discloses how Google Gemini uses data from connected Google apps to personalize user experience. Previously, the policy explained eligibility requirements and the opt-in process for this personalization feature. The removal means users no longer have a documented disclosure of this data practice in the privacy notice itself, though the operational status of the Connected Apps feature and whether it remains available is not clarified by this change.
View change record →Any conversation content submitted to Gemini, including personal details, questions, or information shared in context, may be accessed and annotated by Google employees or contractors. The notice advises users to avoid submitting sensitive information they would not want reviewed.

"To help with safety and quality purposes, human reviewers read, annotate, and process your conversations with Gemini apps. These reviewers are Google employees and contractors, including specialized companies that Google works with. We take steps to protect your privacy as part of this process, including disconnecting your conversations from your Google Account before reviewers can access them. Please don't submit anything you wouldn't want reviewed or used.— Excerpt from Google Gemini's Gemini Apps Privacy Notice
REGULATORY LANDSCAPE: This provision implicates GDPR Articles 5 and 6 (lawful basis and purpose limitation), Article 13 (transparency obligations), and potentially Article 9 if special category data is incidentally submitted. The Irish Data Protection Commission is the lead EU supervisory authority for Google. For California users, CPRA provisions regarding sensitive personal information and the right to limit use may apply depending on the nature of conversation content. GOVERNANCE EXPOSURE: High. The disclosure that human reviewers access conversation content creates operational risk for organizations whose employees or customers submit confidential, legally privileged, or sensitive personal information through Gemini. The notice's own advisory to avoid submitting sensitive content acknowledges the scope of this access. JURISDICTION FLAGS: EU/EEA users have heightened exposure given GDPR purpose limitation and data minimisation requirements. Organizations in regulated industries (legal, healthcare, financial services) face additional exposure if employees submit client or patient information. The notice does not specify the geographic location of reviewers or subcontractors, which may be relevant for cross-border data transfer assessments under GDPR Chapter V. CONTRACT AND VENDOR IMPLICATIONS: Procurement and legal teams should determine whether Google's standard consumer terms or enterprise agreements govern Gemini use in their organization. The human review provision may conflict with confidentiality obligations in employment contracts, client agreements, or professional regulations. A Data Processing Agreement with Google may be required for business users under GDPR Article 28. COMPLIANCE CONSIDERATIONS: Compliance teams should assess whether acceptable use policies for AI tools adequately address the human review disclosure. Data protection impact assessments may be warranted for high-risk processing scenarios. Organizations should consider whether to issue guidance restricting the types of information employees may submit to Gemini.
