Description

One thing about the new EU [General Data Protection Regulation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Data_Protection_Regulation) is that it classifies IP addresses as personal data.
Exporting such personal data to other countries without the user's permission might therefore be problematic, especially because an IP address will already be "exported" when the web page makes use of e.g. Google APIs.

The page should also contain the typical easily accessible "privacy policy" and "legal notice" sub-pages.
In my opinion, the privacy policy page should then also contain or link to the APY server's privacy policy in addition to the privacy policy of the service provider of the html-tools installation in question.
The legal notice should contain whatever information the jurisdiction in question requires (service provider's postal address, E-mail address, phone number or contact form, type of organization, tax ID, person responsible for content etc.).

The interface should probably also put a box around the Apertium-related links and mark them as such, so that nobody mistakes the "about" or "contact" pages for the privacy policy or legal notice.
