Interpretive note: The clause references 'the limited purposes described in Section 4 of our Terms of Service' but that section is not quoted here; the content of those purposes cannot be assessed from this excerpt alone.
The updated policy now explicitly authorizes collection of voice and audio inputs, precise geolocation data (with your consent), contact and calendar information from third-party platforms, and inferences about your emotional state and sentiment based on your inputs. Conversation outputs are retained indefinitely for purposes stated in the Terms of Service, while inputs are retained for at most 15 days after deletion (with exceptions for fraud, security, legal, or financial record-keeping). You can opt out of voice-based emotion inference in your Account settings page, and you can stop precise location collection by changing preferences on your mobile device or in Account settings.
