gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix Misleading Gemini Code Assist for individuals Privacy Notice in VScode extension [1 participants]

What happened?

This issue is about the privacy setting in the version 2.79.0 of the "Gemini Code Assist" VScode extension, started as described at https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/docs/set-up-gemini#read-privacy-notice, using "Settings > Extensions > Gemini Code Assist", after performing Sign-in.

If you don't want this data used to improve Google's machine learning models, you can opt out below.

This "opt-in" behavior contradicts the note present on https://developers.google.com/gemini-code-assist/resources/privacy-notice-gemini-code-assist-individuals, which describes an "opt-out"

If you don't want this data used to improve Google's machine learning models, you can opt out by following the steps in Set up Gemini Code Assist for individuals.
