If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

If you do not want your profile to be assigned to Google, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google saves your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out, in particular (even for users who are not logged in), to provide tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles; to exercise this, you must contact Google.

Storage period
