If you use this, all of your code data will be sent to Google. From their terms:

https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/p...

When you use Gemini Code Assist for individuals, Google collects your prompts, related code, generated output, code edits, related feature usage information, and your feedback to provide, improve, and develop Google products and services and machine learning technologies.

To help with quality and improve our products (such as generative machine-learning models), human reviewers may read, annotate, and process the data collected above. We take steps to protect your privacy as part of this process. This includes disconnecting the data from your Google Account before reviewers see or annotate it, and storing those disconnected copies for up to 18 months. Please don't submit confidential information or any data you wouldn't want a reviewer to see or Google to use to improve our products, services, and machine-learning technologies.

Not if you pay for it.

Today.

In six months, a "Terms of Service Update" e-mail will go out to an address that is not monitored by anyone.

Sure but then you can stop paying.

There's also zero chance they will risk paying customers by changing this policy.

This sort of facile cynicism doesn't contribute anything useful. Anyone can predict a catastrophe.

It would only be cynicism if it didn't happen all the time with seemingly every tech company, major and minor.

This is just how things are these days. The track record of Google, and most of the rest of the industry, does not inspire confidence.
