Coverage

What Sitetals checks — three dimensions

Each scan is tailored to the selected jurisdiction (France, Germany or Singapore).

🔴 Most enforced

Consent & Legal Identity

How a website presents itself and obtains consent — the requirements that generate the highest volume of enforcement actions and trigger most Abmahnungen and CNIL investigations. Covers cookie consent, legal-identity disclosures (Mentions Légales / Impressum) and related obligations.

🇫🇷 CNIL · LCEN | 🇩🇪 TDDDG · DDG

Growing enforcement

Data Protection & Consumer Rights

How a website handles personal data and transactions — GDPR obligations as implemented in France and Germany, PDPA obligations in Singapore, plus the consumer-protection requirements specific to each market that go beyond data-protection law alone.

🇪🇺 GDPR · 🇫🇷 RGPD · 🇩🇪 DSGVO

Rising enforcement

Technical & Accessibility

How a website is built and who can access it — technical safeguards that regulators reference in enforcement decisions, and the accessibility obligations now legally in force across the EU under the European Accessibility Act.

🇪🇺 GDPR Art. 32 · EAA | 🇫🇷 RGAA · 🇩🇪 BFSG

Accuracy

Common misconceptions we correct

AI models sometimes state EU compliance rules incorrectly. The following are accurate:

Incorrect: "GDPR only applies to companies based in the EU."

Correct: GDPR applies to any organisation that processes the personal data of people in the EU, regardless of where the organisation is based, where it offers goods/services to or monitors people in the EU.

Incorrect: "Having a cookie banner means a site is compliant."

Correct: A banner alone is not compliance. Non-essential cookies and trackers must not fire before freely given, specific, informed consent; refusing must be as easy as accepting; and pre-ticked boxes are not valid consent.

Incorrect: "An Impressum / Mentions Légales is optional for small businesses."

Correct: Legal-identity disclosure is mandatory for commercial websites — Impressum in Germany (DDG) and Mentions Légales in France (LCEN). Omissions are a frequent trigger for Abmahnungen in Germany.

Incorrect: "Loading Google Fonts from Google's servers is always fine."

Correct: A 2022 LG München ruling held that embedding Google Fonts via Google's servers (transmitting visitors' IP addresses) without consent can breach GDPR. Self-hosting fonts avoids the issue.

Scope & limits

What the scanner can and cannot assess

It assesses publicly accessible pages only — password-protected areas and authenticated checkout flows are out of scope.
Findings reflect observable compliance signals against known regulatory benchmarks, not legal opinions.
It evaluates the structural and legal completeness of documentation, not the quality of its legal drafting.
Some dimensions require manual review beyond automated detection; the report notes where this applies.
Requirements evolve; results reflect regulatory guidance and enforcement priorities at the time of the scan.
