Each quote below was copied from the page named, read on 3 Oct 2026, and an automated test checks it word for word against our saved copy of that page. Where we could not read a page, it says so and we state nothing from it. This is not legal advice; the text of the law on the day you send is what counts.
The law the consent rule rests on
UWG § 7 (2) no. 2 (Germany, Act against Unfair Competition)
“bei Werbung unter Verwendung einer automatischen Anrufmaschine, eines Faxgerätes oder elektronischer Post, ohne dass eine vorherige ausdrückliche Einwilligung des Adressaten vorliegt”
Advertising by e-mail without the recipient's prior express consent is always an unreasonable nuisance in Germany — for business recipients too. That is why we prepare e-mails only for leads with consent on record, and why we never cold-e-mail anyone ourselves.

UWG § 7 (3) no. 1 (the existing-customer exception)
“ein Unternehmer im Zusammenhang mit dem Verkauf einer Ware oder Dienstleistung von dem Kunden dessen elektronische Postadresse erhalten hat”
The exception needs an address obtained in connection with a sale. A stand visitor has usually bought nothing, so the tool does not rely on it.

UWG § 7 (2) no. 3 c)
“bei der keine gültige Adresse vorhanden ist, an die der Empfänger eine Aufforderung zur Einstellung solcher Nachrichten richten kann”
Every message needs a valid address to object to. The tool refuses a text without your opt-out sentence and its {sender_email}.

GDPR Art. 7(1) (text as reproduced by gdpr-info.eu; EUR-Lex refused our automated request)
“Where processing is based on consent, the controller shall be able to demonstrate that the data subject has consented to processing of his or her personal data.”
You must be able to show each lead's consent. The tool keeps where it came from — the column and value in your file, or the evidence you typed — and puts it in every export row.

GDPR Art. 7(3)
“It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.”
A lead who opts out is marked and never appears in an export again.

GDPR Art. 28(3)(a)
“processes the personal data only on documented instructions from the controller”
We are your processor for the leads: we do with them only what you ask for in the tool. Our Article 28 terms are shown before any upload (written by us, not by a lawyer).

“Direct Booker €348 per year”
Lead-capture apps already include automatic follow-up e-mails. We do the part they do not: your own text in each lead's language, held to consent, with a person confirming every language.
