We've updated your voice and audio setting

Hi Louise, We recently updated the setting for voice and audio recordings in your Google Account and included more detail about how we use audio recordings to improve the Google products and technologies you use. The updated setting allows Google to securely save audio recordings in your Google Account when you use your voice to interact with certain Google products. Saved audio recordings help improve our audio recognition technologies, so products like Google Search can understand language even better in the future. To keep you in control of your audio recordings setting, we've turned it off for you until you are able to review the updated information. Visit your Google Account to review and enable the audio recordings setting if you choose. Review setting At a glance, here's what this update means for you: Simple controls for Google Search and other apps: The updated audio recordings setting is part of your Web & App Activity, which allows you to save activity like your searches to your Google Account. The audio recordings setting, when enabled, will save audio from your interactions with Google Search, Maps, and Assistant, which may be reviewed to help improve how our products understand speech. This updated setting does not apply to other Google services or to audio data saved on your device. No impact to your previously saved audio data: This update does not affect any of your audio data previously saved to your Google Account. You can choose to delete audio recordings at any time: Google will regularly delete audio recordings saved by this setting when they aren't needed to develop our products and technologies. You can also visit activity.google.com to manually delete your audio recordings from Google Search, Maps, and Assistant or choose to have them automatically deleted on an ongoing basis as part of your Web & App Activity's auto-delete controls. To enable your audio recordings setting or to learn more about this update, you can visit your Google Account.
