The identity of your Google profile may be shown to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.
Use of collected information: In addition to the uses explained above, the information you provide is used in accordance with applicable Google privacy policies. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activities or share them with users and partners such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.
