If you choose to connect these Google content apps, you can tap into your own personal context and insights to get AI Mode responses that are tailored to you.

Search services include Google Search (incl. AI Mode, Discover), Maps, Shopping, Flights, Hotel, Translate, and News. Personal Intelligence in Search Personal Intelligence in AI Mode references previous searches and activity saved in your Search Services History to provide suggestions tailored to your tastes and preferences.You can supercharge Personal Intelligence in AI Mode by connecting the dots across your Google content apps. When you choose to securely connect your content apps, AI Mode can reference insights from your emails and/or photos to provide responses that are specific to you, like using past restaurant reservations to personalize your responses when you ask for new restaurant recommendations. Personal Intelligence might not always get personalization right and can make mistakes.

If so, what data do you train on, and do you train on my entire Gmail inbox or Google Photos library? If you choose to connect your content apps to Search services, we may use that data to improve Google services for everyone, including by training generative AI models. Search services do not train generative AI models directly on your Gmail inbox, Drive, Calendar or other Google Workspace apps or on imagery or audio from your Google Photos library. When you interact with Search, summaries, excerpts, generated media, and inferences from your relevant media, emails, and files may be used to help us answer your prompts. To make our responses relevant, helpful, and high quality, we train our generative AI models off of these summaries, excerpts, generated media, and inferences. In some cases, for example, where the email or file is brief or particularly relevant to respond to the inquiry, the summary may just be the email or file. We also train generative AI models on data like your questions in Search services, responses and suggestions that Search services provide you, and information about how our models generated those responses and suggestions. For example, if you ask AI Mode to suggest some restaurants for your upcoming trip, our models might look at your emails and photos to get information about your upcoming hotel reservation and flight itinerary, as well as restaurants you’ve visited on prior trips. It would then summarize that information to provide you personalized restaurant recommendations close to your hotel at your destination. We take steps to reduce personal information from interactions personalized using Google content apps before using them to train generative AI models powering our services, unless it's to address abuse or harm. Please don't connect your Google content apps if they contain personal or confidential information that you wouldn’t want to be used for training generative AI models. Note: Even if you choose not to connect Google Workspace or Google Photos, you can still upload content and images from Google Workspace and Photos to AI Mode. Depending on your settings, your uploads could be used to improve Google services with the help of human reviewers. I don’t want you to use my data from connected Google content apps to train your AI models. How can I control my data? You’re in control of connecting apps to enhance your product experience in Search AI Mode. You can still use AI Mode if you choose not to connect Google content apps. If you choose to connect Google content apps to Search services, we may use that data to improve Google services for everyone, including by training generative AI models. Disconnecting a connected Google content app or deleting any data in that app doesn't delete any data from your Search Services History. That data can still be used for product improvement, including training generative AI models. You can manage and delete your Search Services History by visiting activity.google.com. Based on your other Google account and product settings, these and other Google services may collect data, share, or personalize your experience. To see your Google Account settings, visit account.google.com. Will human reviewers have access to my personal data? How human review helps improve Google services: When you connect your Google content app data, a subset of that data processed by AI Mode in Search is reviewed by human reviewers (including trained service providers) to debug our services, help keep them safe, and improve them. This data includes interactions, summaries, excerpts and inferences from your relevant emails and files. In some cases, for example, where the email or file is brief or particularly relevant to respond to the inquiry, the summary may just be the email or file. It also includes summaries, inferences, and generated media based on your Google Photos library (except for cases of abuse and harm or when you submit feedback, humans don't view media from your Photos library). In addition, it includes data like your prompts in Search services, responses and suggestions that Search services provide you, and information about how our models generated those responses and suggestions. Human reviewers improve Google services, including generative AI. For example, reviewers assess if Search AI Mode responses were low-quality, inaccurate, or harmful. They also suggest better responses. We use their suggestions to help our models respond better in the future. Please don't connect your Google content apps if they contain personal or confidential information that you wouldn’t want a reviewer to see. How we protect your privacy in this process Before trained service providers review interactions personalized using Google content apps, we take steps to protect your privacy, such as disconnecting interactions from your Google Account and reducing personal information in this data, unless it's to address abuse or harm.
