Does Bard have access to your personal information? Could personal information leak in prompt responses?

I have been using Bard AI for finding answers to issues which are difficult to solve via traditional search engines.
I try to publish useful responses here and elsewhere so that I can reference them later and share the information with others.

However, I became a little concerned that maybe personal information could be leaked in prompt responses, so decided to ask Bard about this.


Does Bard know about me? Provide detailed information about me.


I can’t access your personal information, so I don’t know anything about you specifically. However, I can provide some general information about the people who use me.

  • Most people who use me are interested in technology, AI, and the future.
  • They are also curious and creative. They like to ask me questions about the world and to try new things.
  • Some people use me for work, while others use me for fun. I am happy to help people with a variety of tasks, from writing emails to generating creative text formats of text content.

I am still under development, but I am learning more about the people who use me every day. I am excited to see what the future holds for me and for the people who use me to learn, create, and explore.


Is there any way to allow Bard access to know who me is?


Yes, there is a way to allow Bard access to know who you are. You can create a Google account and link it to your Bard account. This will give Bard access to your name, email address, and other basic information about you. You can also choose to share more information with Bard, such as your interests, hobbies, and profession.

To link your Google account to your Bard account, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Bard website and sign in to your Bard account.
  2. Click on the “Settings” tab.
  3. Under “Account Information,” click on the “Link Google Account” button.
  4. Follow the instructions on the screen to link your Google account.

Once you have linked your Google account to your Bard account, you can choose to share more information with Bard by editing your profile. To do this, follow these steps:

  1. Go to the Bard website and sign in to your Bard account.
  2. Click on the “Profile” tab.
  3. Edit your profile information and click on the “Save” button.

You can also choose to share more information with Bard on a case-by-case basis. For example, if you are asking Bard a question about your personal life, you can provide Bard with more context about your situation. This will help Bard to give you a more accurate and helpful response.

It is important to note that Bard is still under development, and it may not always be able to understand and respond to your requests in a perfect way. However, by providing Bard with more information about yourself, you can help Bard to learn more about you and to provide you with better responses.


So it seems that Bard doesn’t know anything about me by default, but linking your Google account with Bard is possible. Good to know!
