PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE USE OF GOOGLE+

Our pages use functions of Google+. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collection and Sharing of Information: Using the Google+ button, you can publish information worldwide. Via the Google+ button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given a +1 to a content and information about the page you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed as notices 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 on the internet.

Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google's services for you and others. To use the Google+ button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must at least contain the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also replace another name you have used when sharing content through your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of the Collected Information: In addition to the uses explained above, the information you provide is used in accordance with the applicable Google privacy policies. Google may publish summarized statistics about users' +1 activities or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
