This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express permission.
We would like to point out that data transfer on the internet (e.g. during communication by e-mail) can show gaps in security. Gapless protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Data protection declaration for the use of Google +1
Our website uses functions of Google +1, operated by Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Collection and forwarding of information: with the help of the Google +1 button, you can publish information worldwide. Via the Google +1 button, you and other users receive personalised content from Google and our partners. Google saves both the information that you have given +1 for a content, as well as information about the page that you have viewed by clicking on +1. Your +1s can be faded in as information, together with your profile name and your photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile or other places on websites and adverts on the internet. Google records information about your +1 activities to improve the Google services for you and others.
In order to be able to use the Google +1 button, you need a worldwide visible, public Google profile, which must contain at least the name selected for the profile. This name will be used in all Google services. In some cases, this name can also replace another name, that you have used for sharing contents via your Google account. The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users, that know your e-mail address or have other identifying information about you.
Use of the information collected: apart from the purposes for use explained above, the information provided by you will be used in accordance with the valid Google data protection regulations. Google may publish summarised statistics about the +1 activities of the users or pass them on to users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers or affiliated websites.
