Google streamlines privacy, security, account management

Google on Monday launched a new hub to manage security and privacy settings across various devices and services.

Under your My Account tab, Google said in a blog post that it will add new settings and provide tools and tutorials on privacy. The move is similar to the one Facebook made last year.

In the My Account tab, customers can manage the way information is used on search, maps, YouTube and other features. Google uses this data to better target ads and enhance the user experience.
