Shock judgment: Google Fonts without consent - this is how you protect yourself!

In the heart of Tyrol, everything is about an exciting sightseeing flight through the fire brigade of the Schwaz fire brigade. The beautiful day is used by the committed firefighters to present their equipment and give interested parties a look behind the scenes. The event not only attracts the members of the fire brigade, but also numerous citizens who are interested in the important tasks of the fire brigade.

The modern devices and fire engines that form the viewpoint for many visitors are particularly impressive. The Schwaz fire brigade takes its responsibility seriously and shows how important the correct equipment is to protect the population. Such actions not only strengthen the trust of the citizens in the fire brigade, but also promote the sense of community and the knowledge of fire protection.

legal aspects in the digital age

But there are also developments that are important for everyone beyond the local issues. A judgment of the Munich Regional Court has explained the use of Google Fonts to be unlawful and shows how important data protection is today. According to the Dr. GDPVO was granted a private person's compensation of 100 euros because the IP address was passed on to Google without consent. The court found that this is a clear violation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The decision that was made on January 20, 2022 and became final on March 10, 2022 shows that website operators are dependent on the consent of their users in order to be legally on the safe side. As explained on LHR LAW, the IP address is considered a personal date and is therefore efficiently protected by the regulations of the GDPR.

therefore put on local alternatives

Because Google Fonts are operated worldwide and the data is also transferred to the USA, every website operator should rely on local alternatives. These not only enable better data protection, but also keep users more informed without having to take care of their data. In order to avoid legal problems and user unfriendliness, the experts recommend that google plugins and cookie popups.

The new data protection guidelines offer a valuable opportunity to deal with your own guidelines and to design a data protection -friendly website. Other Google services such as Google Maps and Recaptcha should also be considered with caution, since these also require several consent and can be considered illegal without them.

Awareness of data protection is therefore not only important in Tyrol, but also globally. While the Schwaz fire brigade opens its goals today and brings the community together, the judgment from Munich shows how important it is to act responsibly in digital space. This is the only way we can ensure that trust and responsibility remains in our digital world.
