Find out What Google Knows about You

IT company Google is coming clean over the amount of personal data it holds on its users. Dubbed Google Dashboard, the IT service allows users to log in and find all the personal information held about them in Google's myriad applications, including Gmail, YouTube, Blogger and several more.
The Dashboard gives a highly detailed on the internet, application-by-application breakdown of what's stored in your account. Gmail, for example, includes full transcripts of archived web chats and logs of the most recent messages in key folders.

Web History, meanwhile, shows full details of searches made across all of Google's services, including images, Maps and the regular web search. It allows users to wipe their entire search history from the Dashboard screen.

Much, if not all, of this information has been made available previously through the individual applications. However, this is the first time Google has collated the data into a single screen.
