Help Center: "Input and output data are used by default to train our artificial intelligence models, unless you opt out of training at any time." (Vibe, controls by plan). Feedback (thumbs up/down) permits use of the rating, input and output for training irrespective of the opt-out.

As for Free. Pricing page (comparison table Free/Pro/Team, row "Model training"): "Opt-out" (q7).

Pricing page (comparison table Free/Pro/Team, row "Model training"): "Opt-out" for Team as well (q7). DPA 2.3: Mistral may process for training as controller "unless Customer is or has opted-out of training". Commercial ToS 4.2 provides for training for products with an opt-out default.

Help Center: "Enterprise customers are opted out of training by default." Opt-in switch at admin level. The feedback exception continues to apply. Labs/preview models: training without effect of the opt-out setting (Commercial ToS 4.2).

Help 'Privacy and Terms of Use': 'The content in Gemini Notebook will not be used to directly train our foundational AI models, unless you choose to provide feedback.' With thumbs up/down feedback, prompts, sources, uploads and outputs are reviewed by trained teams and used to improve products and machine-learning technologies. Data that Gemini Notebook shares with other Google services (e.g. the Gemini app) is used according to their notices, 'including for product improvement'.

Plans page: 'Your data is protected, and is not used to train Gemini Notebook unless you provide feedback.' With feedback, the full context (queries, uploads, responses) may be reviewed. Help 'Privacy and Terms of Use': no direct use for training the foundational models without feedback; data shared with other Google services is used according to their notices, including for product improvement.

Workspace Privacy Hub: 'your uploads, queries and the model's responses in Gemini Notebook will not be reviewed by human reviewers, and will not otherwise be used to train generative AI models.' Help: no human review and no training even with thumbs up/down feedback.

Plans page (Upgrading via Google Cloud): 'all files, chats and model outputs won't be reviewed by human reviewers or used to improve generative AI models.'

Gemini Notebook Enterprise documentation (comparison table): with the personal Gemini Notebook, users cannot specify data residency ('Users can't specify'). Google LLC is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (Google Privacy Policy, Data transfer frameworks). Google Privacy Policy (Data transfer frameworks): 'We maintain servers around the world and your information may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live.' A storage location specific to Gemini Notebook is not documented.

As Standard: data residency cannot be selected for personal accounts (Enterprise documentation); Google LLC certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. Google Privacy Policy (Data transfer frameworks): 'We maintain servers around the world and your information may be processed on servers located outside of the country where you live.' A storage location specific to Gemini Notebook is not documented.

not publicly documented: Workspace Privacy Hub: 'Your organization's file sharing and data region settings do not apply to data in Gemini Notebook.' Workspace Admin Help 'Data covered by data regions': Data Regions are not supported for Gemini Notebook. The pages do not name a storage location. Sources added from Drive are stored as a copy with the Gemini Notebook data.

Enterprise documentation: data stays in the customer's Google Cloud project; Gemini Notebook Enterprise is available in the 'eu' and 'us' multi-regions and 'global', with data residency commitments for storage (at rest) and ML processing depending on the location; for data in the EU, licences from an 'eu' subscription are required. Google recommends 'global' if there are no regulatory reasons for a region.
