The provision creates a multi-layered governance structure where users' data practices are determined not solely by Google's privacy notice but also by the individual privacy policies and terms of each third-party extension or connected service. This establishes Google's role as a data recipient from these external services and clarifies the scope of information flow necessary for request completion.
Interpretive note: The notice references additional terms and policies for connected services without specifying which services or the precise categories of data that may be shared, creating some ambiguity about the full scope of data collection enabled by extensions.
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 →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.
View change record →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.
View change record →Users who utilize extensions or connected services operate under the combined terms of Google's privacy notice plus the distinct policies of each connected service provider. The clause authorizes data transmission from those external services to Google to enable functionality, meaning the privacy protections and data handling practices applicable to users vary depending on which extensions or services are activated.
