The deep integration of the personal AI assistant into the everyday office ecosystem has raised concerns about data privacy and security. Tests indicate that the personal version of Gemini linked to Google Workspace may automatically retrieve Gmail or Google Drive files even when the user has not explicitly requested it—and the content returned may exceed user expectations. Google's official statement notes that some linked-app data processed by Gemini will be handed over to outsourced review specialists for manual review, used to troubleshoot system issues, ensure platform security, and improve services. The review scope covers relevant summaries, excerpts, inferences, and interaction records. Although technical measures are taken to disconnect interaction records from user accounts to reduce personal information exposure, it is not possible to completely remove all personal information. In addition, for users who have activity saving enabled, their Gemini activity records and linked-app data may be used for product improvement and model training; users can disable this feature independently in settings.
