Support linking to external ToS/Privacy Policy in footer/emails

[fragger1991]

Is there an existing feature request for this?

• I have searched the existing issues before opening this feature request.

Describe the feature you would like to see.

According to § 5 TMG (Telemedia Act), a commercially offered website must have an imprint. It is irrelevant whether it is a landing page, login page or an online shop.

The obligation to provide a data protection declaration was previously regulated in § 13 TMG (Telemedia Act) and has now been transferred to telecommunications and telemedia (TTDSG). I haven't found a clear paragraph on this, but the GDPR and the TTDSG alone provide sufficient context for a data protection declaration to be the only sensible solution.

Describe the solution you'd like.

There should be a global function that allows the legal notice and the privacy policy to be linked on every page and also e-mails etc. Optionally, there should be the option of providing this information directly in Pterodactly and creating a subpage for it there, which should be an alternative if someone does not have a direct website to which this could be linked.

Additional context to this request.

personally this feels like a duplicate of #4051

[fragger1991]

@parkervcp for me personally, these are two different things. #4051 is compliance with the GDPR and #4058 is compliance with the TMG and TTDSG. Surely you could see this as a whole under the umbrella of "compliance with the law", but since #4051 was opened explicitly for the GDPR and the content of the GDPR was already discussed there, I didn't want to mix the TMG and TTDSG in there.

But basically I have nothing against these two feature requests being considered as one.

This is not a duplicate, but closely related.
