Don't enter confidential information in your Gemini Apps conversations. For example, if you're using a Gemini app to help with code, don't paste confidential source code into the conversation. To the extent possible, please don't share information in your Gemini Apps conversations that you wouldn't want a reviewer to see or that you wouldn't want used to improve our products.
This warning shifts responsibility to users to self-censor sensitive information, effectively limiting Google's liability if confidential data is disclosed through normal use of the product.
Using Google Gemini means your conversations ā including any personal details you share ā are stored for up to 3 years and may be read by Google employees for safety and quality purposes. Your chat history being deleted from your account does not necessarily stop Google from retaining associated data for AI training, which is a significant privacy implication many users would not anticipate. You can limit data retention by visiting myactivity.google.com, navigating to Gemini Apps Activity, and changing or disabling the auto-delete settings.
