Data usage
We want to be completely clear that generative AI does not change the foundational privacy protections that give you choice and control over your data:
- Your interactions with Gemini stay within your organization. Gemini does not share your content outside your organization without your permission.
- Your existing Google Workspace protections are automatically applied. Gemini brings the same enterprise-grade security as the rest of Google Workspace.
- Your content is not used for any other customers. Your content is not human reviewed or used for Generative AI model training outside your domain without permission.

Chrome auto browse
With auto browse, Gemini works in Chrome browser tabs to complete multi-step tasks that you assign it. With the user's permission, Gemini in Chrome can also use Google Password Manager to sign in to sites. You can use the GeminiActOnWebSettings, GeminiActOnWebAllowedForURLs, and GeminiActOnWebBlockedForURLs policies to control auto browse.
Auto browse is currently off by default for managed users and can be enabled using the GeminiActOnWebSettings policy for users with the following Google Workspace editions: Google AI Pro for Education, Gemini Education Premium, Business Plus, Business Standard, Enterprise Plus, Enterprise Standard, AI Ultra Access, and AI Expanded Access.
Users will also be able to connect Chrome to Gemini Spark. This permits the Gemini Spark agent to invoke auto browse, to perform autonomous, multi-step actions on Chrome clients using the active browser session. For managed users, this can be enabled with the GeminiSparkSettings policy.
For eligibility criteria, go to Ask Gemini in Chrome to complete tasks for you with auto browse. For detailed roll-out information, check the Chrome Enterprise and Education release notes.
