A2Capturetraining and human review by default

Tasks require Keep Activity on. With it on, your chats and the screens you share are saved and used to train Google’s AI models, with help from human reviewers. No Google page says how long screen captures are kept.

Your chats and what you share with Gemini (like files, videos, screens, and photos) will be saved in your Activity.

Why Trains AI is 0 here, not 1. Keep Activity is a real training opt-out for Gemini chat. Tasks can’t run with it off, so task users have no opt-out.

Policy grade for Tasks in Gemini: C6/12 §. The 0 on Trains AI caps it at 8. Google’s enforcement record deducts 2. Google’s own grade is C8/12 § · Google’s report card →

Trains AI

Tasks run only with Keep Activity on: “This feature is only available when Keep Activity is on.” With it on, Google uses your activity for “training generative AI models”, so task users have no training opt-out.
