Think again; German rules for these things are different from UK/US rules (and other European nations) in several significant ways.
Particularly in relation to their data protection rules (for example).
- davidw 16y agoSure, rules differ, but someplace like Germany, you can be pretty confident that things will go through some kind of due process that can be navigated. In places like Libya, I would not really bet a lot of money on that.
- ErrantX 16y agoWell, maybe. But you're also running a huge risk because if they find you in violation the fines start to get nasty. We had a client in the UK that was providing hit/redirect statistics, including full IP addresses, to German clients. Under the rules that is illegal - they were fined in the region of millions of euros for it.
- mkr-hn 16y agoGermany's privacy laws are known and probably available in multiple languages. The concern here is that you might not know the law either because you can't read it, or it only exists when the government wants it to.
- konad 16y ago> it only exists when the government wants it to every law is applied like that
