German term or phrase: Angebot oder Dienst
Dear all,

Translating a data privacy statement on a company website into UK English.

I am aware that quite a few translated company websites use "offer" for Angebot in this context. However, some of them are from the German-speaking countries and I am looking for something more adequate, stylistically.

You know, I usually use services for Angebote in this website context, tend to be happy with that choice, but then, it is not an option here because Dienste are just that.

DE:
Sie können sich auf unserer Website registrieren, um zusätzliche Funktionen auf der Seite zu nutzen.
Die dazu eingegebenen Daten verwenden wir nur zum Zwecke der Nutzung des jeweiligen ***Angebotes*** oder Dienstes, für den Sie sich registriert haben.

I am not sure but judging by the context and from experience I think both terms might refer to website-related matters rather than what the company sells in the real world. The actual source text as a whole has not enabled me to make a clear assessment.

Cheers,

Sebastian Witte

Explanation:
This would be my preference in this context. Angebot can refer to both a product and a service, which are offered via the Internet.

Actually I would probably change this to "offered products and services", even though the source is singular.

Explanation:
The answer may lie in the asker's own formulation of the question: '.... it is not an *option* here because Dienste are just that.'

Though a 'joker-word', Angebot (or spelt Anbot, often meaning a quotation in AT/CH German) doesn't seem to work well as an assortment or range here.



Example sentence(s):
  • As a member, we provide you with numerous tools to help you better understand all the trading options on offer
