EU Gemini users: no middle ground on human review, Google keeps chats for 3 years
Ashamed-Skirt795 · reddit · 2026-10-11
An EU-based Reddit user criticizes Gemini's privacy settings for lacking a middle-ground option in the EU: either allow Google humans to review chats (keeping history and features like home device control) or turn it off entirely and lose history and features. There's no way to keep history without consenting to human review.
He also notes that turning the setting off and deleting history doesn't retroactively remove chats, as Google retains its own copy for three years. The post touches on the broader tension between Gemini's data practices and EU user privacy expectations.
