Privacy advocates have long been engaged in a battle against what they perceive to be invasion of user privacy by websites. They object to the collection of data by sites - particularly the big sites, such as Google - which could allow advertisers to target users with what could be relevant ads. It's a topic and a complaint which has flared repeatedly over the years.
So it's worth noting that Google is now making a kind of privacy dashboard available to users, to let them know what different Google apps may be collecting about individual users (or groups, for that matter). According to Mashable, it's a good way to create in one convenient place a one-stop report on everything the communications giant may know about you. You'll find instructions at the link that will take you to your own Dashboad page, where you may also choose to alter some of the settings to limit the amount of shared information.
