Chess.com invades my privacy

I don't often do Blog posts but today when I came home and turned on my computer. I did my usual routeen of opening Google, Chess.com and then Youtube. As i turned to the Chess.com tab I looked up and my face turned to horror as I turned to my homepage. as I suddenly saw my profile had a link to my personal Google+ account. I have never let any of my social accounts link in with chess.com. In my mind chess.com shouldn't know who I am. But as I saw this link it immediatley opened to my Google account. I never allowed  this to happen. it never asked for authorisation. I feel that this is a massive invasion of my privacy and I feel that this is a major problem with chess.comI have been on the chess.com site since august 2007 and I have seen  quite a few site changes, some of them I didn;t like but I brushed it asie but as soon as I saw the new layout I didn't like it and the fact that my privacy was compromised it has prompted this Blog. #So now that I have got rid of all my rage I will do a blog post every day for 2 weeks as I strat to find out about the new lay outLittleehotpot, signing off

    Hmm, do you play on here through the google app (I read there was one but haven't used it). I have a Google+ account and I don't have that on my profile here ... just trying to understand how it could have been linked.

    I'm not sure what you are seeing but I don't see any Google+ information on your profile pages.
