Google Dashboard a new setting in your Google account can tell you exactly how much Google knows about your life. Just from your internet usage pattern, your chats, emails and many other things,also the web searches and the sites you visited over the past four years. The holidays you booked online, your medical problems and Youtube searches - it's a record of your entire online and offline life.

To know more click here:https://www.google.com/dashboard




With Google Dashboard they are trying to take the discussions of privacy online, away from the theoretical or abstract and make sure that there is one place that they can go to find out their information and then change their settings if they want to.  Google which mainly collects these data to show users more relevant advertisements and more useful search results.  Is this enough what Google is doing with Dashboard to protect users details?  Share your views on this.

According to me no, with Google dashboard what they are doing is just trying to earn users trust, there are services like Google Analytics and DoubleClick, which collect information from every visitor, regardless of whether or not they have a Google Account, and Google sets tracking cookies that can eventually build a history of sites visited, news articles consumed, products researched and many other things. And in this context, it becomes very clear that the Dashboard informs users of an extremely limited set of information that Google collects from them, only that kind of data which users have voluntarily provided Google's various services while logged into their Google Accounts and not all Google services are included on Dashboard list yet. The Dashboard does not include information collected via cookies and tracking scripts about users' browsing habits and history, which is far more important than anything.

It is an excellent feature in GOOGLE to have a one stop place to have a look at our own usage/statistics of all the google products.

Shows the latest happenings of our account and consolidation at a single point, really useful if 10  or more google products are used.

You can turn off most of these settings for data collection.  So there should be nothing wrong with that.

Well, rite now saying that its enough or not is not a fair decision. Since, we are not aware about the kind of tempering or usage of our data.

 

But I hope it will be used to a good cause.

Yes, this process will help users to keep a track of what is going on in his account. I mean, it will help them to detect if their password has been hacked or their account is being misused. It also will help them to restore any important mail if it has been accidentally deleted by him...
