What Does Google Do With Your Gemini Data?
Google directs us to its full privacy policy for more information on how this data is used.
InGoogle’s privacy policy, Gemini is mentioned a few times.
This includes using Gemini user chats to train and improve its machine learning models.
So, Google has confirmed that chat data is used outside the individual conversation itself.
ChatGPT has a dedicated opt-out feature that lets you stop this kind of chat data collection.
So, does Google also allow users to disable this chat usage feature?
We take steps to protect your privacy as part of this process.
This includes disconnecting your conversations with Gemini from your Google Account before reviewers see or annotate them.

However, there’s an interesting, if not worrying, caveat here.
Via the Gemini chat sharing feature, Google appeared to be displaying the shared URLs in search results.
This certainly called Gemini’s privacy standards into question, as thesharing featurewas effectively making Gemini queries publicly accessible.
What Other Kinds of Data Does Gemini Keep?
But there are specific kinds of data that Gemini uses, including your location.
This vague explanation doesn’t give users much insight, so what does Google’s main privacy policy say?
Evidently, it’s not just your chat data being collected when you use Gemini.
Your location and usage data are also up for grabs, which is worth keeping in mind.
Even if you disable your Gemini activity, these other kinds of data remain exposed.
