Integration of hosttest awards & widgets

You can integrate the various Hosttest awards (member seal, rating widget, certificates) as a widget on your own website. This can be done either statically (data is loaded from your web hosting) or dynamically (data is loaded from hosttest.de).

Basically:

If widgets contain ratings, we recommend that you link the information on the "authenticity of the ratings" from Hosttest alongside the widget.

Considerations for static integration:

You can download static images, host them locally on your webspace, and integrate them on your website in this way.

It is important to link these to your profile on hosttest.de for better traceability.

Considerations for dynamic integration:

If you use dynamic widgets where the displayed data is hosted on Hosttest, the following applies:

Dynamic awards are integrated either via JavaScript, iFrame, or as an external image file. In all cases, data is retrieved from our servers hosted in Germany. However, no user data is stored, and no cookies are used.

If you use Hosttest widgets (when they are dynamic and/or hosted on Hosttest) on your own website, we recommend that you mention this in your privacy policy. If you are unsure, you should also consult your data protection officer.

An example formulation could look like this:

--- IMPORTANT: Please note that this is not legal advice and the following text has not been legally reviewed! Therefore, be sure to clarify with your company's data protection officer beforehand! ---
