🚨 Why You Should Stop Using Google Fonts in Your Projects
In Europe, the use of Google Fonts is no longer considered safe from a data privacy standpoint. Courts have ruled that embedding Google Fonts via their CDN can lead to a violation of GDPR, since it involves transferring users’ IP addresses (which qualify as personal data) to Google’s servers without explicit consent.
This means that what once seemed like a harmless design choice can now expose your project or company to legal risk.
👉 What to do instead?
Host fonts locally on your own server.
Explore open-source alternatives and privacy-friendly font providers.
Make privacy-first decisions in your design and development workflow.
⚖️ In today’s regulatory landscape, compliance is not optional — it’s a competitive advantage. By self-hosting or using safer alternatives, you not only protect your users but also safeguard your business.
