If you use Gemini apps with extensions or other Google products and services, the terms of those products and services also apply to your use. For instance, if you use Gemini apps with Gmail or Google Maps, your conversation data may be processed alongside data from those services in accordance with their respective terms.
Connecting Gemini to Gmail, Maps, or other Google services significantly expands the scope of data that may be collected and combined, creating a more detailed profile than using any one service alone.
Using Google Gemini means your conversations — including any personal details you share — 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.
