(Google Adds “Privacy Dashboard” for Connected Devices)
Google announced a new tool today. It helps users control their privacy settings. This tool is called the Privacy Dashboard for Connected Devices. It shows all the devices linked to a Google account.
Many people use smart home gadgets. These include speakers, thermostats, and security cameras. They connect to the internet. Managing these devices can be confusing. Users often forget which devices have access. They also forget what data these devices share.
Google saw this problem. The company built the new dashboard. It provides a single place. Users see every connected device listed. They see what data each device can access. This includes things like location history or voice recordings. Users can easily adjust permissions. They can remove devices they no longer use.
The dashboard aims to simplify privacy management. It gives people more control. Users can understand their connected environment better. They can make informed choices about their data.
“This dashboard puts users in charge,” said a Google spokesperson. “People deserve clarity. They deserve easy ways to manage their information across all their gadgets.”
