Google+
Our pages use features from Google+, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Collecting and sharing of information: You can share information worldwide with the Google+ button. The Google+ button allows you and other users to receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you + 1'd for content and information about the site you viewed when you clicked +1. Your + 1's may be shown along with your profile name and photo on Google’s services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or on other websites and online advertisements.
Google collects information about your +1 activities to improve Google's services to you and others. To use the Google + button, you need a Google profile that is public and visible to everyone and must contain the name chosen for the profile at a minimum. This name will be used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace a different name you used when sharing content through your Google Account. The identity of your Google Profile may be displayed to users who know your email address or other identifying information about you.
Use of Information Collected: In addition to the purposes outlined above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the current Google data protection regulations. Google may publish summarized statistics about users' +1 activities or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
