Google has so many products and services that it is easy to lose track of what data you have shared only with them and what is visible to other users. Luckily now they have released About Me, a tool for you to control what data Google knows about you and what you allow to be visible to other users and circles.

Google launches an option that helps you control what others know about you

About Me is a profile in which all of the information you have shared with Google and made public is shown. Clicking on any of its options you can edit data, levels of privacy, and delete what you do not want it to display.

Furthermore, About Me has another interesting option: the Privacy Checkup. Clicking on this you will be taken to a page where you can decide which of your activities and interactions with Google will be visible to the communities of Google+, Google Photos, YouTube, and other Google services.

Im so interesting

Do you like this new tool from Google? I has really made me aware of the amount of information that I have been pouring into Google, and made me much more cautions of what I share.
