Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries privacy is a deeply rooted value, reinforced by strict data‑protection laws such as the GDPR. When you claim to 'bieten Privatsphäre', it’s advisable to back it up with concrete measures (e.g., end‑to‑end encryption) because German users tend to be skeptical of vague promises.
