Google states that Gemini Apps are not intended for users under the applicable age threshold (generally under 13 in the US, or higher in some regions), and that certain features like AI model training opt-outs have additional protections for younger users.
Families and educators should be aware of the age restrictions and confirm that minors are not using Gemini without appropriate account controls, as minors' data carries heightened legal protections.
Age restrictions for AI conversational tools engage COPPA (US), the UK Age Appropriate Design Code, and GDPR Article 8 provisions on children's data. Compliance teams deploying Gemini in education or family contexts must verify age-gating mechanisms are technically enforced, not merely policy-stated.

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.
