>To be absolutely clear dashboards are not on Google unless customers decide to put the URL in a blog post or somewhere else on the public internet, this is a non-story.

No. Jut because Google doesn't index a URL doesn't make it private in any way. Public URLs are public. Relying on obscurity is a bad idea. People are continually amazed at how Google is able to find URLs they thought they had not linked publicly anywhere. Send the link to a gmail user? Google knows it now.

I wouldn't worry too much though; any company prepared to trust vital business data to a SaaS web startup obviously doesn't care about data security very much. People put off by this were never going to use your product anyway.
