Google lets users see some of their personal data
By Associated Press
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (AP) - Google is offering a new privacy control that will make it easier for people to see some of the information being collected about them.
The "Dashboard" feature (http://www.google.com/dashboard) unveiled Thursday pulls together all the data that pour into Google's computers whenever Web surfers log in to one of the company' services. That includes summaries of an individual's e-mail, search requests and viewing habits on Google's video site, YouTube. Before, a user would have to check multiple places for all that. The snapshot doesn't include any activity that occurs when a person isn't logged into a Google service. Dashboard represents Google Inc.'s latest step to give its users more control over their personal information and appease privacy watchdogs. |
