Today, Google are excited to announce the launch of Google Dashboard. Have you ever wondered what data is stored with your Google Account? The Google Dashboard offers a simple view into the data associated with your account - simply and concisely in one location.
Over the past 11 years, Google has focused on building innovative products for the users. Today, with hundreds of millions of people using those products around the world, Google are very aware of the trust that you have placed in us, and the responsibility to protect your privacy and data. In the past, Google have taken numerous steps in this area, investing in educating their users with their Privacy Center, making it easier to move data in and out of Google with their Data Liberation Front, and allowing you to control the ads you see with interest-based advertising. Transparency, choice and control have become a key part of Google's philosophy, and today, Google are happy to announce that they are doing even more.
In an effort to provide you with greater transparency and control over their own data, they have built the Google Dashboard. Designed to be simple and helpful, the Dashboard summarizes data for each product that you use (when signed in to your account) and provides you direct links to control your personal settings. Today, the Dashboard covers more than 20 products and services, including Gmail, Orkut, YouTube, Calendar, Docs, Web History, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts, Latitude and many more. The scale and level of detail of the Dashboard is unprecedented, and they are delighted to be the first Internet company to offer this - and we hope it will become the standard.
