· Gemini Apps Privacy Notice
The notice states that trained human reviewers may read, annotate, and process user conversations with Gemini for safety and quality purposes, and that this access is not limited by whether the user has enabled or disabled Gemini Apps Activity....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that disabling Gemini Apps Activity does not prevent human reviewer access to conversation content, meaning the opt-out control available to users does not fully restrict human processing of their inputs. Compliance teams should evaluate whether this scope of reviewer access and its relationship to user-facing controls satisfies applicable transparency and purpose limitation obligations....

Google Gemini
· Gemini Apps Privacy Notice
The notice states that even after a user deletes their Gemini Apps Activity, reviewer copies of conversations may be retained by Google for up to three years under applicable retention policies....
Why it matters: This provision establishes that the user-initiated deletion of Gemini Apps Activity does not result in immediate or complete deletion of conversation data, as reviewer copies are retained on a separate retention schedule of up to three years. This creates a discrepancy between the deletion action available to users and the actual data lifecycle that compliance teams must account for when evaluating deletion request workflows....

Why it matters: This provision establishes a user control for limiting AI training use of Gemini conversation data, but the notice explicitly limits the scope of this control to Gemini apps, meaning data that crosses into other Google services remains subject to those services' separate data use terms....
