Today, Google announced that they launch Google Dashboard, a new feature from Google which is designed to let users see and control the copious amounts of data that Google has stored in its servers about you. The Google Dashboard offers a simple view into the data associated with your account – easily and concisely in one location.

“Over the past 11 years, Google has focused on building innovative products for our users. Today, with hundreds of millions of people using those products around the world, we are very aware of the trust that you have placed in us, and our responsibility to protect your privacy and data,” said Google in a blog post today. “In an effort to provide you with greater transparency and control over their own data, we’ve built the Google Dashboard.”

Google said the Dashboard is set up so that users can control the personal settings in each Google product that they use. The Dashboard tool supports more than 20 products and services, including Gmail, Calendar, Docs, Web History, YouTube, Picasa, Talk, Reader, Alerts and Google Latitude.

Users may also see how many Docs they have created and share, how many iGoogle gadgets they are using, Google Reader info, Profile info, Tasks and YouTube history.

Google Dashboard also displays Web History, which includes users’ online search history for those who have turned it on.

What doesn’t Google Dashboard show? Anything not associated with a user’s Google Account. For example, Google said in a fact sheet:

“For example, if you are not signed in and use Google Search or Google Maps, we will still collect some non-personally identifiable information about your search. That data is aggregated, stored and used to help us to both improve our products and services and maintain the security of our systems. But since none of this data is linked to your account, it is not included in your Google Dashboard. There are also some Google products you may use when you are signed into your Google account that are not currently included in the Google Dashboard. We are working now to add those products in the near future.”
