Opt-in would be much better, of course.

To put it in perspective: google won't even give you an option to opt out.

If you pay for Gemini as a private user and not as a corporation, you are fair game for google.

Now, neither option is good. But one is still much worse.



Agree. Out of the available paid cloud providers, I only chose to work with Claude Code because of the data privacy policy. This isn’t a welcome move but still usable. Thankfully the open source models are not far behind with Qwen 3 coder etc.


Gemini allows you to opt out, but disables chat history if you do so


Can I trouble you to give me a hint where this could be configured? :)


Sure! Here you go:
