What it is

Google employees or contractors may read the conversations you have with Gemini, including your prompts and the AI's responses, to improve the product.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Your private conversations with Gemini are not confidential: Google explicitly warns that human reviewers may read your chats, meaning sensitive personal, health, or professional information you share with the AI can be seen by Google staff or contractors.

What you can do

⚠️ These actions may provide transparency or partial mitigation but may not fully address the underlying issue. Effectiveness varies by jurisdiction and individual circumstances.

Delete Your Data

Go to myactivity.google.com, select Gemini Apps Activity, and delete individual conversations or all activity to remove stored chat history from Google's systems.
