To fully use our services as an applicant, you need to register on our platforms. Registration takes place in a so-called double opt-in procedure. I.e. After registration you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with someone else’s email address.

The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our plugin. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your computer.
