Google Updates Privacy Policy to Detail Personal Intelligence Data Sharing

Key summary

Google has updated its privacy policy regarding the Personal Intelligence feature, which connects Gemini with user Google apps like Drive, Photos, and Gmail. The update clarifies that data may be shared with other Google services for personalized advertising based on user access permissions. Google states this does not involve automatic scanning of emails or photos for ads, as previously indicated, but notes that if users enable connections, the data might be used by eligible services. Advertisers and Google will not access personally identifiable information. Users can manage these settings via their Google Account under Data & privacy > Personalization settings > Manage Personalized Recommendations in Search Services > Connected Content apps.
