It establishes that location data collection is not optional or conditional — it occurs every time a user uses Gemini Apps, with no opt-out described in this clause.
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.
View change record →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.
View change record →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 →Every time you use Gemini Apps, your location data is collected regardless of whether you have requested location-specific assistance.
