Gemini saves some conversations for up to 3 years!

As most of us know, chatbots often retain your conversations in order to help train. Google Gemini is no different. The company has its privacy policy posted, and you’re able to see just how the company uses your data. According to the policy, Gemini keeps some of your conversation data saved for up to three years, depending on the circumstance.

To catch you up, Google recently renamed Bard into Gemini. So, Gemini is now the main generative AI product at the company. There’s an official Gemini app that you can download from the Play Store. The Gemini app gives you access to all the functionality you have on the website. Also, you can use it as your phone’s default voice assistant as a replacement for the Google Assistant.

If you want to get more from Gemini, you can subscribe to Gemini Advanced. You can get Gemini Advanced through the Google One AI Premium plan. It gives you access to a more advanced and smarter version of Gemini. It’s a version of Gemini powered by Gemini Ultra. The subscription plan costs $19.99/month.

Google Gemini holds onto some conversations for up to three years

If you ever want to know how companies are using your data, you should always dig into the privacy policy. This is where a company lays out everything that it doesn’t tell you in the press releases or the keynote speeches. Gemini has a pretty lengthy privacy policy, and it lays out what kind of information is retained compared to the information that’s deleted. You have the option to delete your conversations and set Gemini to not save your history. However, this comes with a big asterisk.

The company lays out that it chooses a subset of conversations to be reviewed by human reviewers. We’re not sure exactly how many conversations the company checks every day, and we’re not quite sure if this is all that random. However, Google warns people against putting personal data into conversations or putting any data in the conversation that they don’t want to be seen by human reviewers.

Along with that, the company also states that if your conversation has been reviewed by a human being, that conversation is going to be held on to Google servers for up to three years. So, imagine having a conversation with Gemini today and having it stay on Google servers until February 2027.

This is the kind of thing that people should be thinking about. Sure, it’s bad enough to have one person review that information, but multibillion-dollar companies also get hacked. So, if your information is on Google’s servers, and a company happens to be hacked, this puts your data at risk. This is why it’s extremely important to always keep an eye on what you enter into Gemini.
