Maybe i will contact them, their Website https://ecocheck.app/ seems to suggest, they are sponsored by various German organizations.

That would be a good proposal. In the last time we've got a lot of these GPT/Gemini based Apps popping up.

By the way: the first line of logos says something along the line of "known from" followed by media outlets. The sponsorhip is at the bottom of the page and it seems like it is vastly government sponsored.
