Q: Automatic Invoices / office.lexware.de Integration / GDPR / Google Fonts etc.
Hi there,
I have a few questions before buying codes - hope you don't mind.
1st. How does Forento comply to GDPR? Where are your servers, where is your company based?
2nd. What about Google Fonts? I looked up the course page of one of your clients - a drummer from the Netherlands - his forento website doesn't comply to GDPR at all (which can become massively expensive) - at least in Germany if lawyers find out about such shady websites.
Can I switch off Google Fonts and upload my own?
3rd. Is there an integration for office.lexware.de planned? This would make accounting very easy.
4th. What about the legal texts - are they available in German? Do I have to enter my own texts? Is there the option to fill in my own legal texts?
5th. If a customer buys a membership - some fields which have to be checked are mandatory. Is that possible

Apr 25, 2025A: Hey Webkiter, thank you for the questions. I'm happy to help.
1. You can learn about Forento's GDPR compliance and how data is managed in the privacy policy on our website. Forento is a Swedish company. Our servers are based in the Netherlands.
2. There's a Google Fonts integration for the website builder within Forento, to easily install fonts. If you prefer, you can upload your own fonts (the supported formats are ttf, otf, woff) to use those instead of relying on Google Fonts.
3. We don't have any integration with the accounting software you're referring There may be an external integration between any of our two payment providers (Stripe & PayPal) and your account software, though.
4. Forento places terms of service and privacy policy agreements on your academy, which outlines the relationship between you as the creator, Forento as the technical provider, and your customers as users of the service. These documents are provided in English. Our team is happy to help in case you'd like to add creator-specific terms to this agreement, even in German.
5. There's no way to customize the purchase process for Memberships specifically (over any other product), but I'd be happy to hear your thoughts and consider it for future updates.
Feel free to reach out through the live chat on our site if you have additional questions or would like assistance getting set up.
