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 and inputs.

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 and thumbs up or down feedback. 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.
