Google adds Gemini memory summary and permission controls to its privacy policy
The Gemini Apps privacy pages now describe a 'memory summary' that lets eligible users view, edit and delete what Gemini understands about them. They also add a setting for how often Gemini asks permission before taking actions, with four choices: Don't allow, Allow once, Allow for this chat, Always allow. Gemini remembering things across chats, and a Memory on/off control, were already described before this change.
Won back
- Ability to view, edit, and delete your memory summary
- Control over how often Gemini asks permission before acting (Don't allow, Allow once, Allow for this chat, Always allow)
