Notes for the reviewer (removed before publication)

Why German law. The founder currently lives in Frankfurt am Main and the company question is open (docs/GOLTRIK-APP-PLAN.md §3.9, "Where the business sits"). While the operator is a natural person resident in Germany offering a telemedia service, § 5 DDG applies (it replaced § 5 TMG on 14 May 2024). It requires, easily recognisable and permanently available: the name and a serviceable postal address (for a natural person, the full name; a P.O. box is not enough), details enabling fast electronic contact and direct communication (email plus a second channel; a phone number is the usual choice), the register entry and number if registered, and the VAT ID if one exists. Please confirm whether a sole trader with no revenue yet needs the full set, and whether a business address (virtual office) can replace the home address.
The home address. Research 06 §12.1 and plan §3.9 note that both stores also publish a monetising developer's address and phone (EU trader status). A company or a business address keeps the founder's home address off this page and off the store listings.
§ 18 (2) MStV (person responsible for journalistic-editorial content): the site has no editorial content today, so the draft names none. Please confirm.
Consumer dispute resolution. § 36 VSBG requires the statement for traders with a website or terms; traders with 10 or fewer employees are exempt from the information duty but may state it voluntarily. The EU online dispute resolution platform (Regulation (EU) No 524/2013) was closed in July 2025, so the draft carries no ODR link [ODR: confirm the repeal applies on the publication date].
Language. German imprints are customarily in German. Should a German version sit beside this one?
Credits (v0.2). GeoNames data is CC BY 4.0: the credit names the source, links the licence and says the data was changed (a subset). The app shows this page in Settings, and goltrik.com/imprint on the web, so both builds carry it.
In the app. The plan asks for the imprint to be reachable from the app as well (research 06 row 43). The link from the app's settings is a one-line follow-up in apps/play, owned by another session at the time of this draft.
