Answer: Ground the application with Web Grounding for Enterprise instead of Search
Grounding with Google Search stores the queries derived from end-user prompts, and Google states there is no way to disable that storage, so its own guidance is to use Web Grounding for Enterprise where zero data retention is required. The logging switch does not exist, an abuse-monitoring exception closes a different retention path, and a region changes where data sits rather than whether it is kept.
