At least the data is sent to Gemini servers. This alone can be illegal but I'm not sure. What I'm more sure about is that they do use the data to train the models.

Since it is Google Docs, the data is already on Google servers. But yeah, it doesn't exactly instill confidence into the confidentiality of documents on Google Docs.
