Important: If your domain is based in Europe or in Japan, these settings are turned off by default. If you do not choose a value for these settings in the admin console, your users are asked to choose through a pop-up window in their Gmail app.
To give you more control over your information and help support compliance requirements, you or your users can turn on or off Gmail, Chat, and Meet smart features and cross-product data sharing. These settings allow you to determine how your users’ information in Gmail, Chat, and Meet can be used and shared with other Google products.
The settings include:
- Smart features and personalization for Gmail, Chat, and Meet—You choose whether your users’ Gmail, Chat, and Meet data is used to offer smart features within each of these products, by default.
Examples of smart features that depend on Gmail, Chat, and Meet data include:- Automatic email filtering into different inbox tabs, like Social or Promotions
- Smart Compose and Smart Reply
- Summary cards above an email (for example, for package tracking or for travel itineraries)
- Using an email’s event details to create a calendar entry
- Smart features and personalization for other Google products—You choose whether other Google products available in your domain (other than Gmail, Chat, and Meet) can use Gmail, Chat, and Meet data to personalize the user’s experience in those other products, by default.
Examples of Google product features that depend on Gmail, Chat, and Meet data include:- Google Assistant reminders of when bills are due
- Google Maps displaying restaurant reservations
- Google Travel bundling of itineraries
- Google Pay loyalty cards and tickets
- Cloud Search showing search results from Gmail
