The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of Information Collected

In addition to the purposes explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with the applicable Google data protection regulations. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activity or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or affiliated websites.
