Gemini AI—integrated into Google’s popular services like Gmail and Calendar—uses your interactions by default to improve future AI models. If you don’t want your chats to be used for training, you can easily turn off this setting. Here’s how:
Step-by-Step: Turn Off Gemini Chat Data Training

In the settings menu, find and click on Gemini App Activity (or Activity).

Turn Off Gemini Activity:

Tip:
These changes apply to both the Gemini web app and Google’s related apps where Gemini appears. If you use Gemini in Google services (like Gmail), it’s a good idea to check and update these settings there as well.
