Technical background
In the case in question, the website operator used Google Fonts in the online version. Google Fonts is used to avoid display problems on homepages. Instead of only using the fonts stored locally on the respective end device, which can differ depending on the end device, a connection to Google is established when a homepage is called up and the Google fonts are used for display on the respective end device. Not only are the fonts transmitted to the user, but, as with many Google services, the user’s IP address is also transmitted to Google in the USA.
It is important, not only in the specific court decision, that Google Fonts can also be installed locally on the server of the website operator and that no IP addresses or other personal data are transmitted to Google in this integration form.
