“To stop this for future chats”…😏

Asking ChatGPT-4o: Please read the information on Google’s Apps Privacy Huband tell me when, where, how and why Google (i.e. humans working there) have access to my prompts and the information I share with Gemini or other AI-driven apps.

ChatGPT-4o’s answer:
Here's a summary of when, where, how, and why humans at Google may have access to your prompts and shared information with Gemini Apps:

When

  1. Live Conversations: Transcripts may be saved in your Gemini Apps Activity if the activity is turned on. Voice and audio data are generally not saved at this time.

  2. Feedback Submission: When you submit feedback, the associated conversation data may be reviewed by humans.

  3. Human Review for Quality: Randomly selected conversations are reviewed by human evaluators, even after you turn off Gemini Apps Activity. Reviewed data is retained for up to 3 years.

Where

  1. Internal Teams and Contractors: Data reviewed for quality and training purposes is accessed by Google’s trained employees and approved third-party contractors.

  2. Separate from Your Account: Conversations subjected to review are disconnected from your Google Account to maintain privacy.

How

  1. Annotation and Processing: Human reviewers annotate and process selected conversations, including language, device type, and location info (general area, not precise).

  2. Data Use for Model Improvement: Reviews help improve generative machine-learning models by identifying quality issues and training better datasets.

  3. Manual Data Handling: Submitted feedback, uploaded files, and conversation context (last 24 hours) may also be included in human reviews if applicable.

Why

  1. Model and Service Improvement: To refine Gemini’s generative AI, address issues like accuracy, and ensure responses are safer and higher quality.

  2. Feedback Handling: To understand and address user concerns or flagged issues in conversation data.

  3. Service Maintenance: Retention of conversations for up to 72 hours (even if Gemini Apps Activity is off) is needed for responding contextually and maintaining system stability.
