AI apps like Gemini come with a risk, which Google's new privacy warning illustrates perfectly. Here's the information Google is collecting.

Google Warns of Privacy Risks with New AI Assistant “Gemini”

Key Points:

  • Google’s new AI assistant, Gemini, collects your conversations, location, feedback, and usage information.
  • Be cautious: This includes your actual conversations, not just summaries. They are stored for 3 years, even after deleting activity.
  • Don’t share sensitive information: Google may use it to improve AI and might share it with human reviewers.
  • Even turning off activity tracking doesn’t prevent conversations from being saved for 72 hours.

Additional Notes:

  • This applies to all Gemini apps, not just the main assistant.
  • Google claims they don’t sell your information but use it for internal purposes.

    That’s pretty rich considering Gemini says doesn’t even know what you said two messages ago.
