Your smartphone stores a multitude of personal data that facilitates everyday tasks and activities. On Android, we’re harnessing the power of cutting-edge synthetic intelligence, introducing Gemini as a dependable and intuitive personal assistant, empowering users to effortlessly manage life’s most crucial responsibilities. Ensuring the privacy and security of your personal data on Android devices is a top priority. We pioneered accountable AI and innovative privacy technologies such as and , ensuring that our approach to the Gemini assistant experience on Android aligns seamlessly with our current values, mission, and principles.
With decades of experience safeguarding your data, we’ve developed a robust, built-in framework of cutting-edge security infrastructure and expert knowledge, ensuring seamless, end-to-end protection in a way only Google can achieve.
We safeguard your sensitive information through a combination of robust measures that ensure both on-device privacy and seamless integration with our world-class cloud infrastructure. Here are six essential approaches we employ to maintain confidentiality:
-
Geminis’ suite of apps empowers users by providing expert assistance for complex, personal tasks, such as crafting customized exercise plans and offering guidance in starting a resume. It seamlessly integrates to meet your every need within Google’s comprehensive ecosystem. The core processing is completed within Google’s secure cloud environment, Gemini, ensuring seamless operation without reliance on third-party chatbots or AI providers whose quality or trustworthiness may be uncertain.
-
On certain AI options available for devices like those running Pixel, where data privacy and processing efficiency are key concerns, we leverage on-device AI capabilities to unlock new benefits. The primary multimodal model developed specifically for mobile devices enables on-device AI processing for some of your most critical tasks without relying on cloud connectivity? Even when offline, you’ll be able to derive enjoyment from features such as summarizing text content.
-
For tasks that rely on knowledge stored in the cloud or necessitate advanced processing capabilities exceeding those available on-device, we leverage Google’s ultra-secure and robust cloud infrastructure. Protected by Google’s unparalleled suite of safety and privacy safeguards, these data centers leverage the same robust defenses that have safeguarded Google products for over two decades, ensuring the highest level of security for billions of users worldwide? Can you confirm with Gemini to access details from your lease agreement stored in your Google Drive account, which is secured against unauthorized access or misuse? We enforce rigorous software supply chain controls to guarantee that only authorized and validated code executes within our cloud environment.
-
With meticulous attention to detail, we’ve crafted the Gemini Apps framework to seamlessly integrate with your preferred entry and management methods. With Gemini’s flexible platform, you’ll be able to assess and select from a range of experiences whenever and wherever you need them most. You can, at any point in time, pin them. On Android, you have control over app behavior when your device is in a locked state, as seen with Gemini-like applications.

We continually strive to enhance our techniques for safeguarding your information and maintaining its confidentiality. We are pushing the boundaries of innovation by developing privacy-preserving technologies that enable secure processing of sensitive data within a safe and controlled cloud environment. Sealed computing guarantees that neither Google nor any other entity can access the information. As we seamlessly integrate consumers’ devices with our cloud infrastructure, we’re essentially creating a virtual smartphone experience that transcends physical borders, revolutionizing the concept of personal connectivity.
-
Introducing a pioneering standard for unobstructed insight: unparalleled clarity in all aspects of our operations and decision-making processes.
Android’s commitment to transparency stems from its open-source roots. The operating system allows anyone to review and verify the source code against a publicly accessible transparency log, ensuring the integrity of the software is maintained, much like verifying an individual’s identity through fingerprint biometrics. Binary transparency is extended within isolated computing environments to facilitate seamless integration of disparate systems.
This allows anyone to re-create the verified firmware foundation, verifying that the resulting executables align with those previously validated in production and disclosed through publicly accessible transparency records.
Just like all Google products, we believe that you should be able to fully appreciate the benefits of Android without worrying about security and privacy issues. We invest heavily in building world-class security measures into our services from the outset. As we continue to develop AI that’s both practical and user-friendly, we enable you to focus on the things that truly matter, all while ensuring the protection of your data is our top priority.
