It's called Google Dasboard, and it aggregates data from all of the company's major online applications, such as Gmail, Blogger, Calendar and Docs.
The new application gives some perspective on how much data Google gathers about people — and how much privacy they're giving up by using the company's popular suite of apps.
According to online reports, the new dashboard presents users with the collected data as safely as Google knows how. Instead of creating a new database to store and present the information, Google simply draw the data from existing databases.
Online pundits see the new service as a concession from Google to users' privacy concerns. The new dashboard gives users the power to delete stored information about themselves.
"Other entities such as Yahoo and even Facebook would be well advised to follow Google's lead with Google Dashboard in offering people an easy-to-use overview of what information they are sharing with others online," said Jacqueline Emigh of PCWorld.com.
But the Dasboard only gives users control over Google apps that ask for a Google ID and password. It does not display any data gathered through cookie-based services like Google ads.
