ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

The provision creates a categorical data use limitation for two user populations, establishing that their conversational data follows a different processing pathway than other user accounts. This distinction affects the scope of data utilized for model development and improvement activities.

Recent Activity

This document changed recently

Medium Apr 30, 2026

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.

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.

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.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Users under 18 accessing Gemini through personal Google Accounts, and all users accessing through school accounts, operate under terms that restrict their conversation data from being incorporated into AI model training. School administrators retain configuration authority over privacy settings for educational institution accounts.

If you're under 18 and using Gemini Apps through your personal Google Account, your conversations are not used to train our AI models. If you use Gemini through your school or educational institution account, your school administrator configures privacy settings, and conversations from school accounts are not used to train Google's AI models.
