Google +1 privacy policy

The Google privacy policy describes how we handle personal information of the users of Google products and services. They also apply to information that you provide by using the Google +1 button. The following information specifically refers to how we handle data protection when using the +1 button.

Collection and forwarding of information
You can publish information worldwide using the Google +1 button. You and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners via the Google +1 button. Google stores both the information that you have given for +1 content and the information on the page that you have viewed by clicking on +1. Your +1 can be displayed together with your profile name and your photo in Google services as references, such as in search results, in your Google profile, or in other areas on websites and advertisements.

Google records information on your +1 activities in order to improve the Google services for you and others. To use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible public Google profile that must contain at least the chosen name for the profile. This name will be used in all Google services. In some cases, the name can also substitute another name you have used when sharing content via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile may be revealed to users who know your e-mail address or have access to other types of identifying information.

Use of the information collected
Besides the uses described above, the information provided by you will be used in accordance with the relevant Google privacy policy. We may publish summarised statistics concerning the +1 activities of users or pass these statistics on to our users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or associated websites. As such, we may, for example, let a publisher know the following: "10 percent of the users who have given this page a +1 are located in New York".

Your options
On the "+1" tab in your profile, you can view a list of the content which you have +1ed. You can delete individual content from this list. You can deactivate the display of +1 recommendations on websites of third-party suppliers from people you know. This also applies to advertisements on websites of third-party suppliers. Data such as the most recent +1 you have given is stored locally in your browser. You can access and delete this information in your browser settings.

Further information
Google observes the data protection regulations of the U.S. Safe Harbor Agreement. You can find further information on the US Safe Harbor Provisions and our registration on the U.S. Department of Commerce website.
