What does Google do with your Gemini chats?
From Google's privacy pages as they read on September 28, 2026. For comparison, llmwise trains no models on what you send, and a chat stays until you delete it.
| Service | Used for training | Opting out | How long chats stay |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gemini | By default, yes | Turn off Keep Activity, or use temporary chats | 18 months by default (3 or 36 to choose); 72 hours with Keep Activity off; reviewed chats up to 3 years |
“Google uses your activity to provide, develop, and improve its services (including training generative AI models), as well as to protect Google, its users, and the public with the help of human reviewers.”
Quoted from Gemini Apps Privacy Hub
“Temporary chats are not used to train Google’s AI models. If Keep Activity is off and you don’t submit feedback, Google also does not use your future chats to improve its AI models.”
Quoted from Gemini Apps Privacy Hub
“Your activity is auto-deleted after 18 months. You can change this to 3 or 36 months, or choose not to auto-delete.”
Quoted from Gemini Apps Privacy Hub
“Future chats are still saved for 72 hours so Gemini can respond to you, process your feedback, and protect Google, its users, and the public.”
Quoted from Gemini Apps Privacy Hub
“If you delete your activity, past chats already reviewed by service providers aren’t deleted because they aren’t connected to your Google Account. Instead, they’re retained for up to 3 years.”
Quoted from Gemini Apps Privacy Hub
