The German flag is also rotated to the wrong direction, probably some others too. Usually what is in the top left stays in the top left. For reference see https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/media.worldcurling.org/media.worldcurling.org/wcf_worldcurling/2019/08/06131254/Display_of_Flags.pdf

This one will additionally use user submitted titles and thumbnails when available instead of just random ones.

I have seen https://opencollective.com/ used a lot to collect donations in a transparent way (also supporting crypto payments). Maybe that is something you want to look into as well.

The thing is, the “software” actually is open source, so you can tell how data is requested from your smart ID. The german government ID has an explicit function for age verification that does not provide any personal information.
