Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as these third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this matter. We have taken steps to safeguard your privacy: we have agreed a data processing agreement with Google and the last numbers of your IP address have been masked. Furthermore, we don’t allow Google to use the obtained information for other Google services.
