Via Vertex AI, processing can be pinned to EU regions (including the Netherlands). Enterprise data is not used for training; the free consumer app offers fewer guarantees (though stricter policies apply for the EU/EEA).

How to use Gemini safely

  • Use the business variant and sign a data processing agreement (DPA).
  • Do not enter unnecessary personal data into prompts; anonymise where possible.
  • Enable EU data residency where the provider offers it.
  • Keep a professional in the loop: monitor brand voice and factual accuracy; AI sometimes invents claims.

Latest developments

18 September 2026Plugin4Shell: Google does not patch Gemini CLI and writes off the product

When Plugin4Shell was published on 18 September 2026, it emerged that Google had chosen not to fix the vulnerability in Gemini CLI. On 4 August 2026, Google announced that Gemini CLI is being discontinued and referred users to Antigravity. The result: any remaining Gemini CLI installation with plugins stays permanently vulnerable to zero-click code execution via a modified plugin repository. GDPR relevance: no update-based mitigation is available, so the only defensible measure is to migrate or remove the tool from machines holding personal data, source code or credentials (art. 32 GDPR). This concerns only the CLI tool, not the Gemini API or Gemini in Google Workspace. source
