Indicators of GDPR non-compliance

GDPR Art. 13(1)(e)

Klaro — an open-source CMP platform (klaro.min.js, klaroConfig.js, klaroObserver.js) — is not mentioned in the privacy policy. The policy contains no section on the consent management tool and relies on outdated legal references: it cites DDG (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz) instead of TDDDG (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz), which replaced TTDSG in May 2023.

Context

KMK (Kultusministerkonferenz) is the standing conference of the education and cultural affairs ministers of Germany’s 16 Länder. It coordinates education policy at the federal level. Secretariat: Berlin. TYPO3, nginx, Vite. HAR: 71 requests, 1 domain.

Klaro — an open-source CMP, local, undeclared

The three Klaro files (klaro.min.js, klaroConfig.js, klaroObserver.js) load from TYPO3’s local _assets/ directory. Klaro is an open-source consent-management library (MIT license) that requires no external server requests and transmits no data to third parties. There is not a single request to external Klaro servers in the HAR — all CMP logic runs client-side. The privacy policy makes no mention of Klaro, the consent-management mechanism, or the consent cookies used.

Policy: outdated legal references

The privacy policy cites DDG (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz) as the legal basis for data processing. DDG is Germany’s implementation of the EU Digital Services Act, which regulates large platforms. Cookies on websites fall under TDDDG (Telekommunikation-Digitale-Dienste-Datenschutz-Gesetz), which replaced TTDSG in May 2023. Matomo is described with a legal basis of “berechtigte Interessen” (legitimate interest), with no reference to TDDDG.

Karla Variable Font — local

KMK uses the Karla Variable Font in TTF format — a variable font covering a continuous weight range in a single file. Font Awesome Regular — woff2, local. No Google Fonts, no Adobe Fonts.

Matomo — declared, not active in the HAR

The policy describes Matomo on KMK’s own server, with IP anonymization and opt-out via cookie. There are no requests to a Matomo server in the homepage HAR — the analytics tool was not activated on first visit.

Conclusion

www.kmk.org does not transmit visitor data to third parties. One domain, local resources, local Klaro as the CMP. The one violation: Klaro is not declared in the privacy policy, which also contains outdated legal references to DDG instead of TDDDG.
