Google Fonts & GDPR
Hi,
is there a way to use your Forms, Widgets and Wall of Love with locally hosted fonts instead of loading them from the google servers?
In short in 2022 there was a ruling in germany that google fonts embedded via the google servers violates GDPR.
"A regional court in the German city of Munich has ordered a website operator to pay €100 in damages for transferring a user's personal data — i.e., IP address — to Google via the search giant's Fonts library without the individual's consent."
Now I could of course only load the feedback form and widgets if the user gives consent to share his IP address with google. BUT a way nicer solution would be if you host the selected google font locally.
