Gemini in Google Workspace

Steps: Not needed: Workspace content isn't used for training without permission. Admins can set retention in the Admin console.

Why it matters: No training outside your domain without permission and no human review. Admins set retention (3, 18 or 36 months) and can turn Gemini off. Covered by Google's Cloud DPA, and Gemini itself holds SOC 1/2/3.
