Why Google doesn’t want us to share confidential information with Gemini?

Google has warned all Gemini users that they avoid sharing confidential information with its chatbot. In addition to that, a support document posted by Google reveals that some conversations between Gemini and users go to Google’s human reviewers. The company states that it sends the data to improve the quality and product itself.

Furthermore, Google also says that only a small amount of information goes to human reviewers. The personal information of users such as email, phone number, etc stays safe. Unfortunately, you can’t see or operate Gemini’s activity. By default, Google saves Gemini’s data for up to 72 hours. Again, to improve the quality and product.

Generally, Google stores Gemini users’ data such as conversations, location, feedback, and usage information. Along with that, it can store some more data when used as an AI assistant. For those who don’t know, Gemini can be your AI assistant as well, as Google Assistant can be paired with it.

Speaking of Google’s support document, it reads, “Please don’t enter confidential information in your conversations or any data you wouldn’t want a reviewer to see or Google to use to improve our products, services, and machine-learning technologies.”
