Google launched this morning a new page that brings together all the information about the user, data from various Google services and, the most important, about your privacy settings. In the new Google Dashboard, you can control everything related to your account – or even delete it if you wish.

To access the Dashboard, the user must enter their credentials (even if already logged on the machine) and, thereafter, is a summary of use of many of the products / services such as Google Gmail, Picasa, Calendar, Docs, Alerts, Web History, etc.. Gradually, others will be placed on the Dashboard.

Although not specify this, it is clear that the creation of that page is related to concerns of users regarding their privacy and discussions which run through the web about how Google collects and handles data from many users.

It is a real answer for those people who always wondered “What does Google know about me?” because it associates various information from the giant search engine’ services that you use. It will show you, for example, your name, email address, number of contacts and conversations in Gmail, your profile on Google, searches made recently, and other data.

If you see a 404 error message when trying to open your Dashboard, it is because the feature is not enabled on your account.
