27 27  * As of September 2024 Quote: “Good news, these additional data protections for [[gemini.google.com>>url:http://gemini.google.com||shape="rect"]] free of charge service launched on August 30th! Here is a blogpost about it. Like Sam mentioned, this means any use of the gemini chat experience within an education account will 1) not be used to train our models 2) not be reviewed by anyone at Google and 3) not be shared with any other user or institution. That usage is safe and secure to the education user. Currently, these apply for 18+ users. The terms and conditions are still considered an 'additional service' within the admin console, however have those additional data protections in place.
28 28  * 13 and + Free Google Gemini Chat experience is available currently as of Sept 2024 but there is NO official statement on FERPA for that category. 13+ for Google Gemini is also only available with parental consent (Google Terms of Service).
29 29  * 13 and + Free Google Gemini Chat experience will SOON have an announcement this fall on how it WILL be FERPA compliant with data privacy. Google representatives say WAIT until the announcement for enablement if districts plan to do so.

Dont use it with your normal Google Email either unless you want it to suck all your emails and drive documents into the public database (including banking, HIPAA, FERPA, PII info etc..) everything then have it cranked out to other public who ask gemini questions. There are people/bad actors who craft questions to try and reveal/pull this info back out etc.. Its an identity theft attack vector.
