Your data and Pinpoint generative AI features

This notice and our Privacy Policy describe how Google handles your Pinpoint data. Please read them carefully.

Google collects your Pinpoint product usage information, your location, and your feedback, such as in-product feedback, inputs and edits. Google uses this data, consistent with our Privacy Policy, to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services across Google, including machine learning technologies.

To help with quality and improve our products, Google human reviewers may read, annotate and process a sample of your Pinpoint data, including your prompts. We take steps to protect your privacy as part of these processes. This includes disconnecting your interactions with Pinpoint from your Google Account by default before reviewers see or annotate them. Don’t include information that can be used to identify you, such as phone numbers, email addresses, or birth dates when using Pinpoint’s generative AI features.
