If you’re using Google’s chatbot, Gemini, your conversations might be used for training its AI. Google selects some user chats for human review to refine the model. Fortunately, there’s an easy way to opt out, and you have a few choices in managing your data.
Quick Steps to Turn Off Gemini Data Collection
- Open Gemini in Your Browser.
- Navigate to the main Gemini interface.
- Look for the “Activity” section, typically under settings or privacy controls.
- Click on “Turn Off” to access options for managing your data.
- Choose Your Privacy Preference:
- Turn Off Gemini Apps Activity: Stops new conversations from being collected for human review.
- Delete Your Conversation Data: This option helps you remove existing conversation records, although it only applies to chats stored for your personal use.
Things to Keep in Mind
Data That’s Already Been Collected: Conversations marked for human review before opting out may not be removed. Google’s privacy policy indicates that they could retain certain interactions for up to three years.
Your chats may contain sensitive details or personal information. Limiting data collection can give you peace of mind, knowing that your input isn’t accessible for review or analysis.
