This repository contains the source code for the Datenanfragen.de website.

Datenanfragen.de is an open source project by Datenanfragen.de e. V., a registered non-profit from Germany. We have made it our mission to help you exercise your right to privacy.
Through our website, we offer a generator for GDPR requests as well as access to our company and supervisory authority database (see this repository for the source behind this data) and comprehensive articles on the GDPR and privacy in general.

Live versions of the website are currently available in German, English, French and Portuguese.

Datenanfragen.de is designed as a static website, running on Hugo and Preact.

To build the project, first install Hugo (we need the extended version) and Yarn. Then clone the repository and run yarn in the root directory to fetch all required dependencies. Then run the deploy script (./deploy.sh) to fetch the required resources from our data repository.
For development, use yarn dev to start the webpack file watcher which will automatically build the JS and (S)CSS files. For Hugo, use hugo server.
The production builds are automatically done by Netlify using the deploy.sh script.

For testing, we use CircleCI in combination with Cypress (see more on our browser tests here). We previously used BrowserStack who kindly let us use their services.
