Collecting and sharing information: You can use the Google+ button to publish information worldwide.

The identity of your Google profile can be displayed to users who know your e-mail address or have other identifying information about you.
Use of the information collected: In addition to the uses described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google privacy policy. Google may publish summarized statistics about the +1 activities of users or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or associated websites.
