Support Privacy-Friendly Solutions and Independent Reporting

The data protection blog Dr. DSGVO is an independent medium. My starting point was the often poorly founded and often opportunistic statements by some public figures on matters of general relevance. The aim is well-founded, fact-based reporting on data protection on the internet. A lot of unpaid time goes into this. If you want to support this work, a donation or a recommendation helps. The continuous analyses and preparation of results as well as looking after the website, including replying to comments, take a lot of effort.

The content of Dr. DSGVO is created by me, Klaus Meffert. The content that does not come from me consists of (currently a few) guest articles that I supervise.

My aim is solutions. Where I can contribute them myself, I do so. For example with my free interactive map as a replacement for the Google Maps plugin or with the GDPR Website Check.

If you read my blog, you may know my guiding principles:

If you would like to support the Dr. DSGVO blog, it helps me to ensure the quality and independence of my articles. Digital data protection is good for our country. Solutions help to avoid data protection problems. When data protection rules are applied correctly, our country benefits. Companies from overseas tend to be reluctant to pay taxes in Germany and to properly protect your privacy and mine. If we cannot fully catch up in terms of functionality, then privacy-friendly solutions with good functionality appear to be probably the only way to stand up to the dominance of the mostly American internet corporations.

Ways to support Dr. DSGVO

This is how you can let others know that Dr. DSGVO exists:

• Articles: copy the link and share it on social media, for example via Mastodon (a privacy-friendly alternative to Twitter), or recommend it by email.
• Website Check: pass on the link and encourage others to check their website. Link: https://dr-dsgvo.de/website-check
• Newsletter: the link is: https://dr-dsgvo.de/newsletter
• Linking: do you have a website? Perhaps you would like to link to one of my articles or to my Website Check.
• Interactive map: use my privacy-friendly plugin for an interactive map and include the privacy notice as stated for the plugin (it contains a link to my site).
• Privacy texts: use my privacy texts or excerpts from them and cite the source with a link to my site.

If you like my content, I would be very pleased to receive your appreciation in the form of a donation. It also helps me to stay independent, to keep running Dr. DSGVO and to make it available to a wide audience. Please note that, as a private individual, I cannot issue you a donation receipt.

I am happy to accept a donation by bank transfer (without PayPal at all). I would be particularly pleased about a small standing order.

I would like to thank you very much for your support, in whatever form! Besides a few donors who wish to remain anonymous, I would also like to mention Louis Flindt here. On his own initiative, he contributed the Dr. DSGVO logo including the icon and extensive usage rights, and thus helped to spruce up the look.

Yours, Klaus Meffert
