Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Google Inc. will not link your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Google will use this information on behalf of this website’s operator to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website’s operator.
