If your Gemini Apps Activity setting is on, Google stores your Gemini Apps activity with your Google Account for up to 18 months. You can change this to 3 or 36 months in your Gemini Apps Activity setting. Info about your location, including the general area from your device, IP address, or Home or Work addresses in your Google Account, is also stored with your Gemini Apps activity. Learn more at g.co/privacypolicy/location.
To stop future conversations from being reviewed or used to improve Google machine-learning technologies, turn off Gemini Apps Activity. You can review your prompts or delete your conversations from your Gemini Apps Activity at myactivity.google.com/product/gemini.
Conversations that have been reviewed or annotated by human reviewers (and related data like your language, device type, location info, or feedback) are not deleted when you delete your Gemini Apps activity because they are kept separately and are not connected to your Google Account. Instead, they are retained for up to three years.
When Gemini is your mobile assistant, Google processes additional information (such as info from your devices and services, permissions, installed apps, screen context) to understand your prompt, respond to you, and give you hands-free help.
This data helps us provide, improve, and develop Google products, services, and machine-learning technologies, like those that power Gemini Apps. For more details, read the Google Privacy Policy and the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice.
We take your privacy seriously, and we do not sell your personal information to anyone. To help Gemini improve while protecting your privacy, we select a subset of conversations and use automated tools to help remove user identifying information (such as email addresses and phone numbers). These sample conversations are reviewed by trained reviewers and kept for up to three years, separately from your Google Account. Read the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice to learn more.
Google uses conversations (as well as feedback and related data) from Gemini Apps users to improve Google products (such as the generative machine-learning models that power Gemini Apps), so we can make them safer, more helpful, and work better for all users. Human review is a necessary step of the model improvement process. Through their review, rating, and rewrites, humans help enable quality improvements of generative machine-learning models like the ones that power Gemini Apps.
Gemini Apps conversations that have been reviewed by human reviewers (as well as feedback and related data like your language, device type, or location info) are not deleted when you delete your Gemini Apps activity because they are kept separately and are not connected to your Google Account. Instead, they are retained for up to 3 years.
Gemini Apps are part of our long-term, ongoing effort to develop LLMs responsibly. Throughout the course of this work, we discovered and discussed several limitations associated with LLMs, including five areas we continue to work on:
We focused on addressing these areas before launching Gemini Apps. And with the broader field, we continue to research solutions. We at Google are committed to working to improve over time. Learn more.
Location data is always collected if you use Gemini Apps so that they can provide you with a response that is relevant to your query. For example, to respond to prompts like "What's the weather?", Gemini Apps need to know your location.
Google also uses your location data, including your precise location data, for the purposes and based on the legal grounds described in the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice. Learn more about location data at g.co/privacypolicy/location.
If available, Gemini Apps may share your precise location data with another Google service, like Google Maps, to fulfill your request. The Google service that gets your location data uses it consistent with the Google Privacy Policy.
Gemini is hosted by the Google app, even if you download the Gemini app . Gemini and the Google app can use various features and capabilities on your device (such as your camera, microphone, contacts, or location) based on your Google app permissions. To review and manage these permissions:
When you add an image to your prompt, Gemini Apps use Google Lens technology to understand what's in the image. For example, Google Lens might interpret an image's pixels as a cat jumping. Gemini Apps add this information to your prompt to understand your request better. Google uses this information just like any other prompt, as explained in the Gemini Apps Privacy Notice.
At this time, we don't use the actual images you upload or their pixels to improve our machine-learning technologies, unless they're included in feedback. If you submit feedback on a Gemini App response, the last image uploaded in the same conversation before that response is included as part of your feedback, unless you opt out. Google uses this data like all other feedback you provide. Learn more about how Google uses your feedback.
You can review your generated images in your pinned chats, recent chats, and Gemini Apps Activity. You can delete your prompts, which also deletes any images generated in those prompt responses, in your Gemini Apps Activity.
Gemini Extensions are Google services that work with Gemini Apps. They can better help you get things done with Gemini Apps. When Gemini Apps use extensions, they share data with extensions to find relevant information to respond to you.
Also, with your permission, Gemini Apps tell extensions who you are. This is needed for Gemini Apps to help you connect with your personal information and content in other Google services so that Gemini Apps can respond to you better. Learn how to connect Gemini Extensions.
You can choose to use Gemini Extensions that help you connect with your personal information and content in other Google services so that Gemini Apps can respond to you better. Learn more about Gemini Extensions.
