Despite what Google's literature says about being safe and private, they have a history of retroactively opting people into features and our corporate information cannot be submitted externally.
We cannot find controls in the admin console to disable. Has anyone else figured out how to disable Gemini integration with corporate Gmail?
This surprises me, because Google has been litigated against successfully in the past about forcing users into their products in the past.

Isn't your corporate information already submitted externally if you're using Google Workspace?
MS office has taken the same route (in fact Goog simply copied their strategy of including copilot)
So you might want to look for a totally different provider
Wait, what? Anything you do in any Google app is "externally". That's what the cloud is.
You're willing to put data in Google's hands, and have Google process data in way X, but you don't want Google to process those data in way Y, which has pretty much identical security and privacy properties?
Anyhow, the solution here is not to use Google services. You shouldn't be doing that anyhow.
The problem is that once you are heavily tied into the Workspace ecosystem (Email, Google Drive, Google Meet etc), it is tough to change and move. Possible Yes. But the idea of moving decades of email and data is just horrifying.
