How to manage and delete your personal data in Google Gemini

Google Gemini now offers users greater transparency and control over the personal data the AI accumulates during interactions. Through a new feature called Memory summary, users can review specific details the system has gathered, which are categorized into sections like business, interests, and culinary preferences. This functionality is available across the Gemini website, mobile apps for iOS and Android, and desktop applications.

To access this information, navigate to the Settings menu and select Personal Intelligence to view your Memory summary. If the feature is enabled, you can see exactly what the AI has stored. On the web and desktop versions, users can manually edit or remove entries by clicking a pencil icon. For mobile users, the process is even simpler: you can issue a direct voice or text command to the AI, instructing it to delete or correct specific pieces of information.

Should you buy it? While not a product for purchase, this feature is a necessary tool for anyone using Gemini who is concerned about data privacy. It provides a straightforward way to keep the AI's personalization benefits while purging inaccurate or overly sensitive data.
