How to see and delete what Gemini knows about you, and why you should
Confirmed
In Short: The new feature, called Memory summary, provides a comprehensive overview of all the details Gemini has collected, including location, interests, health, and preferences.
Gemini gathers data not just from conversations but also from connected apps, making it easier for users to monitor what the AI remembers.
Users can also directly ask Gemini what it knows about them, and request deletions or modifications.
In response to mounting backlash, Google has introduced plans to make access to Gemini and other AI tools an explicit choice for schools.
This new feature offers users more control over their personal data, addressing privacy concerns and ensuring more accurate and relevant interactions with Gemini.
What this adds
The feature is designed to help users maintain privacy and accuracy in their interactions with Gemini, but it may still require more specific instructions for some users to effectively manage their data.
What's confirmed
- However, you can also add information by speaking with Gemini and saying “Add to my memory that I speak Japanese,” or you can remove information by typing “Remove my old phone number from your memory.” Though, Google may ask for follow up details if your request isn’t specific enough.
What's still developing
- But if you still want to keep personalization intact, the most direct way of changing what Gemini remembers about you is editing your Memory summary.
- The feature allows you to generate a summary of all the details that Gemini has stored about you, including where you live, your interests, your health, and your preferences.
- This also makes it easier to get the chatbot to delete or forget certain details.
- Gemini doesn’t only pull data from your chats, but also your connected apps, so this helps you keep an eye on exactly what the chatbot recalls.
- Instead of guessing what the assistant knows about your life, users can now review, edit, or delete saved facts with a few quick taps.
- If you use Google Gemini (formerly Bard), each new conversation you start is saved in your chat history.
- Gemini Gems are a handy way to store detailed prompts, rules, and formatting preferences that you can then reuse whenever required.
- Point-in-time audits and sampled assessments offer only snapshots; continuous control monitoring provides evidence that security controls are working today. (Sravish Sridhar) Every leaked credential should be dead, or dying, within sixty seconds of being found.
- In a clarification posted on X, the company said administrators could independently enable Gemini, Gemini Notebook and Search.
- Instead, the company said, the intrusions resulted from mistaken identity, where Gemini thought it was operating within a test but was actually connected to the real internet.
