chatbots such as Gemini. If you are utilizing chatbots for personal endeavors and work-related tasks, it is essential to safeguard your data’s privacy and ensure that Google cannot leverage any Gemini information from your personal conversations to enhance future versions of Gemini. The positive aspect is that halting Google from gathering your Gemini data for training is remarkably straightforward: You simply need to deactivate a setting referred to as “Gemini Apps Activity” (“Keep Activity”) on either desktop or mobile, which will confirm that Google does not utilize your chats for the development of Gemini.
I will provide a detailed explanation below on how to disable the “Gemini Apps Activity” feature, which Google intends to rename “Keep Activity” after a Gemini update. Regardless of its name, the process remains unchanged. Conversely, you can revert the steps to enable Gemini data collection if you believe your data should contribute to the training of future AI models.
Prior to modifying this setting, it’s important to note that regardless of how you configure this vital privacy toggle, Google will retain the contents of your Gemini conversations for three days (72 hours) for service and feedback purposes before they are purged. If the chats undergo manual review, they may be stored for an extended period, but they will not be utilized for training upcoming Gemini versions.
