Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about HWG Check
No. The entire analysis runs locally inside your WordPress installation as pattern detection. There are no external requests, no tracking and no registration.
No. The plugin detects typical risk patterns based on the HWG and current German case law. Whether a specific wording is permissible in an individual case depends on context and belongs in the hands of a lawyer.
Automated pattern detection cannot fully capture context — for example quotes from court rulings or journalistic reporting. Always review findings editorially.
No. Currently the title, content, excerpt/short description and SEO meta description of posts, pages and products are scanned.
HWG rules apply as soon as products are advertised with health-related claims. Many patterns (efficacy promises, testimonials, indication advertising) are also relevant for over-the-counter products; additionally, food law (health claims regulation) applies there, which this plugin does not cover.
The interface is English by default and follows your WordPress language setting (Settings -> General -> Site Language). Translations (German, French and further languages) are delivered through translate.wordpress.org and installed automatically by WordPress. The rule packs are independent of the interface language: they always match the jurisdiction you select.
Yes. The detected risk patterns are identical across the German-speaking countries (public advertising for prescription medicines is tightly restricted everywhere). In the settings you can select Austria (AMG) or Switzerland (HMG/AWV) so findings show the legal references of your jurisdiction. Note that some explanation texts reference German case law, whose reasoning is transferable but not binding abroad.
Yes, with a clearly defined scope. EU mode and US mode scan English-language content with their own rule sets. EU mode is based on the EU-wide framework every member state implements (Art. 88 Directive 2001/83/EC — no public advertising of prescription-only medicines — and the Health Claims Regulation for CBD foods). US mode covers the federal layer (FDA unapproved-drug claims, FTC substantiation and endorsement rules) plus rules found in nearly every state advertising code (no health claims, no appeal to minors, no free samples). Individual US states and EU member states have additional rules this plugin cannot fully represent — the interface says so clearly. Content in other EU languages (French, Polish, Italian, ...) is not yet supported.
Yes. Israel mode scans Hebrew-language content with its own rule set. Advertising a dangerous drug — including medical cannabis — to the public is a criminal offence under the Israeli Dangerous Drugs Ordinance, and licensed operators are additionally bound by Ministry of Health / Medical Cannabis Unit (Yakar) marketing directives. The rules flag efficacy claims, condition-targeted marketing, promotions and discounts, fast-prescription promises, testimonials, strain menus, healing promises, physician endorsements, content appealing to minors and recreational/lifestyle framing — each with the Hebrew legal reference and a compliant rewording suggestion in Hebrew. The admin interface itself is shown in English in Israel mode.
No. Scheduled scans run locally via WP-Cron exactly like manual scans. The optional notification e-mail is sent by your own WordPress installation to the address you configure.
