Embed web fonts via proxy service allowed (GDPR)?
Hello,
we would like to incorporate some web fonts from Adobe Fonts into our websites using our CC subscription. Unfortunately, there have been some incidents in the EU, particularly in Germany, regarding Google & Adobe Fonts being directly served from American servers. According to the licensing terms, we are not allowed to host the Adobe Fonts on our own EU servers if we want to use them on our websites.
Therefore, the question is: Are we allowed to use a web proxy that forwards the requests to Adobe Webfonts through our proxy via the "shading" process, or does this violate any guidelines? As far as I understand, nothing is directly hosted here, but only the server-side request is forwarded to Adobe to fetch the font files. However, even the technical support cannot assist me with this question.
In essence, the CSS with the web fonts would look like this:
@11220649-face
{
font-family: "font-name";
src: url("https://euproxy.net/for/https://use.typekit.net/af/...") format("woff2"), url("https://euproxy.net/for/ https://use.typekit.net/af/...") format("woff"), url("https://euproxy.net/for/ https://use.typekit.net/af/...") format("opentype");
font-display: auto;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-stretch: normal;
}

{
font-family: "font-name";
src: url("https://euproxy.net/for/https://use.typekit.net/af/...") format("woff2"), url("https://euproxy.net/for/ https://use.typekit.net/af/...") format("woff"), url("https://euproxy.net/for/ https://use.typekit.net/af/...") format("opentype");
font-display: auto;
font-style: normal;
font-weight: 400;
font-stretch: normal;
}
