Users can upload data the university’s Data Security and Privacy Protection Policy classifies as "Public" and "Classified" into Gemini when signed in through their Wesleyan account. Any information classified as “Restricted” cannot be entered. Examples of data that should not be used are information that the user has a contractual, legal, or regulatory obligation to protect, which includes, but is not limited to, information covered by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and Protected Health Information (PHI). Researchers should be sure to review guidelines governing the privacy of their research data before entering it into Gemini.

As of October 17, 2024, Google also announced NotebookLM Business, which will be offered in the future via Google Workspace. Accordingly, NotebookLM is not part of the Wesleyan Google account.
