Search Engine giant Google has announced a new feature called Google Dashboard which shows in one location, all the basic information that Google has about you.
According to Google, the purpose of Dashboard is to provide users with greater control over their personal data as well as offer a layer of transparency so that Googlers can see exactly what information Google knows has on them. Google Dashboard builds on past enhancements such as the Privacy Center, Data Liberation Front, and Interest Based Advertising.
Currently, Dashboard covers 20 popular products including Gmail, Docs, Web History, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and many others. Google News and Wave are not part of Dashboard but very well could be down the road.
Google Dashboard can be accessed through the personal settings on the My Account page after you log into the service, or it can be directly accessed through this link. Once you are logged into Dashboard, you will be able to make any information privacy adjustments that you deem necessary.
