Google+
Our pages use Google+ features. Provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Collection and disclosure of information: Using the Google+ button allows you to publish information worldwide. Via the Google+ button, you and other users can receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for content and information about the page that you viewed when you clicked +1. Your +1 can be displayed as clues along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements 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 that must contain at least the name chosen for the profile. This name is used in 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 can be displayed to users who know your email address or other identifying information from you.
Use of the collected information: In addition to the uses mentioned above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google privacy policies. Google may publish summary statistics about users’ +1 activity or share it with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
