Is Google Gemini GDPR Compliant?
Verdict: Yes for Workspace Enterprise — limited for consumer Gemini
Google Gemini is GDPR compliant for Google Workspace Business and Enterprise customers with a DPA. The consumer version of Gemini has weaker GDPR protections and is not suitable for processing personal business data.
Consumer Gemini — Not for Business Use
The free consumer version of Gemini at gemini.google.com is subject to Google's standard consumer privacy terms. Google may use your conversations to improve its AI models. There is no Data Processing Agreement available for consumer users. Do not use consumer Gemini for work involving personal data.
Note: Google renamed NotebookLM to Gemini Notebook on 16 July 2026. It remains a standalone product.
Gemini for Google Workspace — GDPR Compliant
Gemini integrated into Google Workspace (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, Meet) is a completely different product from a compliance perspective. Workspace Business and Enterprise customers have a Data Processing Agreement with Google that covers Gemini features. Google does not use Workspace customer data to train AI models.

The Key Question: Which Gemini Are You Using?
Many European employees use both — the consumer Gemini app on personal devices and Gemini in Workspace on work accounts. The risk is mixing them up and entering work data into the consumer app. Address this in your company's AI usage policy.
