Websites face significant concerns regarding data privacy and the safeguarding of personal information. This is particularly crucial for websites catering to users from the European Union (EU) region, as they are protected by the stringent General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), considered the world's toughest privacy and data protection law.

In January 2022, an unidentified website faced penalties from the Datenschutzbehörde (Federal Ministry of Justice, Austria) for utilizing Google Analytics (GA) services and sharing users' private information with Google without their consent. The regional court in Munich, Germany issued a penalty of €100 against the website owner for violating Article 44 of the GDPR.

This incident raises concerns about the compliance of other services offered by the company, such as the Google Font API, with the GDPR regulations.

Recently, the compliance of the Google Fonts API with the GDPR has been a contentious topic among webmasters worldwide. There have been cases where websites using third-party font services like Google Fonts have faced penalties from courts due to breaches of end-users privacy.
