Privacy Policy for the use of Google+

Our website uses features from Google+, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collection and sharing of information: Using the Google+ button, you can publish information worldwide. The Google+ button provides you and other users with personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1 may be displayed as references along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and ads across the internet.

Google records information about your +1 activity to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must contain at least the name you chose for the profile. This name will be used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may replace another name you used when sharing content via your Google Account. The identity of your Google profile may be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of the collected information: In addition to the purposes explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google Privacy Policy. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users' +1 activity or share these statistics with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
