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.

The updated privacy notice establishes that Google collects data from third-party services you connect to Gemini, including Model Context Protocol server tools, and that such connections are not monitored or secured by Google. The notice explicitly states that choosing to connect third-party apps may expose your data, passwords, devices, and accounts to unauthorized access. The revised terms also clarify that you can use temporary chats, which are not retained for AI improvement purposes with human reviewer assistance. You can manage connected app permissions through Gemini Spark settings.

The updated notice adds new disclosure sections explaining how data flows when using Gemini Spark (remote browser and computer access), how avatar creation collects and processes information, and clarifies that Google collects information about AI reasoning steps during task execution. The notice also refines language around subscription information to specify 'Google AI plan' rather than just generic 'paid subscription.' These changes do not establish new obligations but rather expand the transparency disclosures provided to users about existing and new features.

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.

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.
