Google's new Dashboard makes it easy to find collected Google information from users
Google makes it easy for you to find out what information the company knows about you thanks to a new update on the control panel of activities related to Google.
In a blog post on Friday, Google said that it has redesigned its 'completely back to top' privacy and security information sheet for easy integration with other privacy settings, helping more friendly with touch screen devices.
The main Dashboard created in 2009 contains the My Activity and My Account sections, allowing users to view all Google-related activities, such as email or photos you store.
Updates will start from next week. With images, Google seems to use better graphics to record each of the services you use, easily finding out where you spend the most time and storing data there. The current version is a bit difficult to control when you have to switch between multiple screens to change or view privacy settings.

Along with this update, Google also released a few numbers that show how much privacy features are used. More than 150 million My Activity users to track old links and videos, tens of millions of people use Privacy Checkup to change settings. Takeout feature allows data export and has been used to export 1 exabyte (10 18-byte caps) since 2011.

This update does not change the way Google tracks you online but also makes it easy to know what information the company knows about you.
