Google Gemini routes personal Drive files and emails to human annotators

Google has reversed its 2023 promise that personal content from Gmail, Docs, and Drive would not be seen by human reviewers—the company now explicitly confirms that connected files and emails are routed to human annotators for review. The ingestion occurs autonomously during background conversations without explicit user requests, and can capture sensitive information including personal identification details, account numbers, and financial figures. Google now warns users not to connect apps containing confidential information to Gemini if they don't want reviewers to see it.
