Google Privacy Policy

Google, Google, 2026

Read on October 17, 2026

What it is: Google's general privacy policy for its consumer services. It says that depending on your settings, Google can save audio recordings of voice interactions with services such as Search, Assistant, Maps and Gboard.
How much weight it carries: Google's binding policy for consumer accounts, but general by design. It does not give retention periods for voice audio, so the account setting and product pages carry the specifics. Terms can change, so check the live page.
