EU citizen here. The first link redirects to the Gemini front page for me. Tried with a trailing slash, that gives a 404. Second one confirms there is no Gemini activity to delete. Never did use Gemini. I guess this means they didn't automatically onboard EU folk...?
I really should delete my Google account, since all I use it for is a Gmail account for whenever I need to enter an email for anything.
Yep. Seems like I couldn't even turn it on if I wanted to. They won't even admit that such things exist.
Same here from the UK. I'm guessing it just because we've not used Gemini yet?
I think this means you haven't used Gemini yet and therefore not given permission to Gemini to use your data
Just setup a new account with a more privacy focused provider and move your accounts to a new email as you use them.
I still have a Gmail account, but it's never used for new accounts and I don't stay logged into it on my phone or browser. Every time I notice some old account associated with it I'll delete it or move it
It's becoming more and more rare that I need to login
Hamburger menu, settings, it's right there
I'm glad we're safe for now but thanks for the warning OP.
