eRecht24 Legal Texts

This plugin is designed for the German-speaking market (Germany, Austria, Switzerland). It is intended for websites subject to German law. The admin interface is in German.

eRecht24 Legal Texts outputs legal texts (imprint, privacy policy) via shortcode or Gutenberg block. Legal texts are stored in the local WordPress database and displayed from there — no external request is needed for output.

The plugin works in two modes:

• Without an eRecht24 account: Enter your legal texts manually in the plugin settings. All shortcode and block output is fully functional.
• With an eRecht24 account: Connect the plugin to the eRecht24 API to synchronise legal texts automatically. Once synchronised, texts are stored locally and continue to be displayed even if the API key is later removed.

The shortcode is the core feature. This makes the output work in the Classic Editor, Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, WPBakery, and other page builders that support WordPress shortcodes.

External requests are only triggered when an authorized administrator saves or removes the API key, starts a synchronization or remote push test, explicitly enables Google Analytics, uninstalls the plugin with a stored eRecht24 client registration, or an authorized eRecht24 push with a valid secret is received.

When an eRecht24 account is connected, the plugin uses the eRecht24 API to retrieve legal texts. The legal texts (imprint, privacy policy) are authored, reviewed, and maintained by eRecht24’s legal team on their servers. This content cannot be generated locally by the plugin. Retrieved texts are stored in the local WordPress database; the API is only contacted during synchronisation, not during output.
