I got a message from Google saying it now stores any media it interacts with, partly to train its AI. The message had a link to change the settings, but if you don't click it right away, it's hard to find again.
Google didn't make that link easy to get, so I had to hunt it down myself after a while. With all the info Google keeps on us, it's no wonder they don't want to make it simple.
Here is the link:
