Data privacy statement for using Google +1

Our site uses functions of Google +1. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Collecting and transmitting information: by means of the Google +1 button, you can publish information worldwide.

This name will be used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can replace another name that you have used when sharing contents via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your e-mail address or possess other identifying information of yours.

Using the collected information: in addition to the intended use explained above, the information provided by you will be used according to Google’s effective data privacy regulations.
