Gemini Apps Privacy Notice

Last updated: February 12, 2025

Your data and Gemini Apps

This notice and our Privacy Policy describe how Google handles your data when you interact with our Gemini Apps. “Gemini Apps” refers to our conversational AI service for consumers in apps and services that reference this notice.

In the European Economic Area and Switzerland, Gemini Apps are provided by Google Ireland Limited. Gemini Apps are provided by Google LLC everywhere else. We refer to Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC below as Google.

What data is collected and how it’s used

Google collects your Gemini Apps conversations, related product usage information, info about your location, and your feedback. Google uses this data, consistent with our Privacy Policy, to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine-learning technologies, including Google’s enterprise products such as Google Cloud.

Gemini Apps Activity is on by default if you are 18 or older. Users under 18 can choose to turn it on.

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.

How human reviewers improve Google AI

To help with quality and improve our products (such as generative machine-learning models that power Gemini Apps), human reviewers read, annotate, and process your Gemini Apps conversations. We take steps to protect your privacy as part of this process. This includes disconnecting your conversations with Gemini Apps from your Google Account before reviewers see or annotate them. Please don’t enter confidential information in your conversations or any data you wouldn’t want a reviewer to see or Google to use to improve our products, services, and machine-learning technologies.

Configuring your settings

Visit your Google Account to access settings and tools that let you safeguard your data and protect your privacy.

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.

Even when Gemini Apps Activity is off, your conversations will be saved with your account for up to 72 hours. This lets Google provide the service and process any feedback. This activity won’t appear in your Gemini Apps Activity. Learn more.

How Gemini Apps Activity works with other services and settings

If you turn off this setting or delete your Gemini Apps activity, other Google data settings won’t change. Those settings, like Web & App Activity or Location History, may keep saving location and other data as you use other Google services. You can also integrate and use Gemini Apps with other Google services. When you do, those services save and use your data to provide and improve their services, consistent with their policies and the Google Privacy Policy. If you use Gemini Apps to interact with third-party services, they will process your data according to their own privacy policies.

Requesting content removal and exporting your information

You can request the removal of content under our policies or applicable laws. You can also export your information.

You can use Gemini, hosted by the Google app, as your device assistant on Android

  • Additional data handling as your device assistant. As your assistant, Gemini also processes, consistent with our Privacy Policy, info from your devices and services to understand you, respond, and help you get things done. For example, Gemini accesses certain system permissions and data (including through Google Assistant), like dialer, call and message logs, contacts (to help you keep in touch), installed apps like Clock, preferred language (to help you speak to Gemini), and screen content (to help you act on it). It also accesses context info from devices and services you use with Gemini and Google Assistant (such as smart home device names and playlists). Learn more about how to manage your app permissions (such as device location, microphone, and camera) for Gemini.
  • Gemini gets help from Google Assistant. Gemini gets help from Google Assistant for things like controlling your devices and setting alarms. When Gemini relies on Google Assistant, some Google Assistant settings, such as Personal Results, apply and you can control them in Gemini settings. With Personal Results, you can receive info specific to you, like your reminders, and can use things like your prior call requests to help pick the right contact. To help with communications quality when you switch from Google Assistant to Gemini, your recent Assistant communications request history (for example, “Send a WhatsApp message to Sasha”) may be imported to Gemini Apps Activity in some regions. Learn more.
  • Speaking to Gemini. If “Hey Google” & Voice Match (powered by Google Assistant) are on in your settings, you can talk to Gemini or Google Assistant (whichever one is active) hands-free. Gemini may activate when you didn’t intend it to. This can happen if there’s a noise that sounds like “Hey Google,” or if you activate it accidentally by touch. If Gemini responds, it will treat your input like a normal activation.

Supplemental Features

You can use various optional features in Gemini Apps. When you use these supplemental features (such as Gems), additional data you provide (such as Gem names and custom instructions) are collected, and used consistent with this notice and our Privacy Policy, including to improve Google AI with the help of human reviewers. 

Things to know

  • Gemini Apps are a new technology. They are continuously evolving and may sometimes give inaccurate, offensive, or inappropriate information that doesn’t represent Google’s views.
  • Don’t rely on responses from Gemini Apps as medical, legal, financial, or other professional advice.
  • Your feedback will help make Gemini Apps better.
