Legal Text Connector from IT-Recht Kanzlei is a plugin that synchronizes legal texts — terms and conditions, privacy policies, and withdrawal policies — from the IT-Recht Kanzlei legal text service to your WordPress site. IT-Recht Kanzlei is a German law firm specializing in IT law that provides legally reviewed document templates for e-commerce and website compliance. The plugin automatically pulls the latest versions of your legal documents when they are updated by the law firm and publishes them as WordPress pages, ensuring your site always displays current legal documentation. For German and EU online stores that subscribe to IT-Recht Kanzlei’s legal text service, this plugin is essential for maintaining GDPR and e-commerce compliance without manually checking for law changes. For German-market stores, it’s a practical complement to Complianz GDPR for overall compliance.
The plugin uses the WordPress HTTP API to fetch documents from IT-Recht Kanzlei’s servers and stores them as regular WordPress pages with proper formatting. It checks for updates on a schedule and automatically replaces outdated legal texts with the latest versions.
