Third-Party Extension Data Sharing

High severity
Share š• Share in Share

What it is

If you connect third-party extensions to Gemini (such as apps from other companies), your conversation content relevant to those extensions may be shared with those third parties.

Why it matters

Connecting extensions dramatically expands the number of companies that can access your Gemini conversation data, beyond just Google, and each third party has its own privacy policy.

Institutional analysis (Compliance & legal intelligence)

Third-party data sharing through extensions creates downstream data controller/processor relationships that must be governed by data processing agreements under GDPR Article 28. Compliance teams must assess whether Gemini extension integrations constitute unauthorized data transfers under applicable privacy frameworks.

Consumer impact

When you use Gemini, Google collects your conversations, location, device data, and feedback, and may use this to train AI models and allow human reviewers to read your chats. Your conversation history is stored for up to 3 years by default, even if you delete it from your view, with some data retained for up to 18 months in separate review logs. You can turn off Gemini Apps Activity at myaccount.google.com to stop your conversations from being used for AI model training.

What you can do

āš ļø These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.
  • Export Your Data
    Open Gemini, go to Settings, select Extensions, and review all connected third-party integrations. Revoke access to any extensions you no longer use or do not trust.

Applicable agencies

  • FTC
    The FTC has jurisdiction over inadequate disclosure of third-party data sharing practices and unfair data handling by connected app ecosystems.
