On our website you can upload a wide range of other data and information. These are pictures, comments, news, online status and information about participation and creation of groups. This data will be kept until you delete it or delete your user account. Restoration is no longer possible after deletion.

Collection and dissemination of information:
Use the Google +1 button to publish information worldwide. The Google + 1 button will provide you and other users with personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the information that you + 1'd for a piece of content and information about the page you viewed when you clicked +1. Your + 1's may appear alongside your profile name and photo in Google services, such as search results or in your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and ads on the web. Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others.

To use the Google + 1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that has at least the name chosen for the profile. This name will be 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 may be displayed to users who know your email address or have other identifying information from you.

Use of the information collected:
In addition to the uses outlined above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with applicable Google privacy policies. Google may publish summarized statistics about users' + 1 activity or share it with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliate websites.
