Data helps Google to improve its products, keep them safe, and - with your permission - personalize them to suit your interests.
However, these interests and the way you want them to shape your experience with Google are constantly changing. For this reason, Google designs powerful and easy-to-use tools that allow you to customize your security preferences at any time. He is constantly working to improve these tools based on your feedback.
In 2016 alone, more than 4.000 users in more than 15 countries around the world participated in research of Google about how they perceive privacy and security. These kinds of responses help Google design products that meet your needs.
Nowadays, Google announces the renewal of the Google Dashboard, one of the major websites that users visit to learn about the Google products they use and the data associated with them. From the beginning of next week it will be available and updated to all users worldwide. There will also be some changes that are based on the trends that are emerging from the use of your existing tools and privacy controls.
Making it easier to use its Control Panel Google
Google's Dashboard has introduced 2009 to provide you with an overview of Google products: all in one place. So one could look at last month's activities, see how many emails, documents and photos he has and get answers to questions about Gmail's settings. The Control Panel also provided quick access to the settings of different products and related articles in the Help Center.
But as Google created new tools such as "My Account" and "My Activity," it became clear that we needed to better integrate the Control Panel into the rest of privacy controls. It should always be easy for you to make important decisions about your data, and Google can help
In the coming days, Google will present a new version of the Dashboard.

The Control Panel has been redesigned from the ground up. The most important change was to improve usability on touchscreens to ensure that the Control Panel works equally well on all devices. In addition, the company has worked to make it easier for you to see all the Google products you use and data you in each of them. Also, Google has made the process of downloading data much easier.
Privacy Control that works for you
You may not use it daily but privacy control is there whenever you need it. Google is pleased with the fact that privacy controls have proven to be useful to many users and everyone's needs.
Last year Google introduced the My Activity service to provide one-stop, personalized information where you can see how you have used its services. More than 150 million people have used this service to spot a joke video who watched, remember how they came up with an exciting article and more. Of course, if you want to delete any of the items displayed in your Activity, you can do so as well. You - and only you - can view and check the information in the "My activity" section.
Η inception my My Account service became 2015 and contained confidentiality settings. It was a simple to use tool to check your data and to update personal information you share publicly. Tens of millions of Google users around the world have used it to implement their privacy options.
2011, Google created Takeout, now known as "Getting Your Data," which enables anyone to save a copy of their data and export their information from Google. Since then, users have downloaded more than an exabyte data, and today more than 1 million exports are observed every month. You can move your data directly to OneDrive and Dropbox, and Box and other options will be added soon.
2009, Google presented the service managing ad options, now called "Ad Settings". It's a powerful dashboard where you can control Google's ads on the Internet and YouTube. The tool also has more detailed controls. For example, if you only want to see ads related to specific categories of products and services, such as sports or entertainment, you can add these categories and remove others.
The creation of tools that help users understand the data stored in their Account and the control of privacy are subject to a continuous and continuous improvement effort. For more information about Google's commitment to protecting your privacy, visit σελίδα privacy.google.com.
