Frequently asked questions.
Read the answers to the most common questions about the Impressum and the Impressum Generator before you sign up.
What is an Impressum?
An Impressum is a legal notice that names the person or business behind a website, an app or a social media profile.
It lists the name, the postal address and the contact details of the provider. A company adds its legal form, its representatives, its register entry and its VAT identification number.
Germany, Austria and Switzerland each have their own rules for it, and the Impressum Generator follows the rules of your country.
Is the Impressum Generator free?
Yes, the Impressum Generator from TermsFeed is free to use.
A one-time purchase or a paid plan removes the TermsFeed credits link and adds more features, such as downloads and the Text Editor.
Do I need an Impressum on my website?
Yes, you need an Impressum on your website when you run it for a business in Germany, Austria or Switzerland.
In Germany, Section 5 of the Digital Services Act (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz, DDG) requires providers of commercial digital services, usually offered for payment, to publish provider information.
In Austria, Section 5 of the E-Commerce Act (E-Commerce-Gesetz, ECG) covers commercial websites, and Section 25 of the Media Act (Mediengesetz, MedienG) asks every website owner for a disclosure.
In Switzerland, Article 3(1)(s) of the Unfair Competition Act (UWG) requires businesses that sell goods or services online to state their identity and contact address, email included.
Answer the questions of the Impressum Generator, then link the result from the footer of every page.
What does an Impressum include?
An Impressum includes the name, the postal address and the email address of the provider, plus the details that apply to the business.
A company adds its legal form and the people who represent it, such as the managing directors of a GmbH. A business listed in a public register adds the register, the register court and the register number. A business with a VAT identification number adds that number.
Regulated professions add their professional title, their chamber and their professional rules. A business that needs an official license adds the supervisory authority. Editorial websites in Germany name the person responsible for the content.
How do I create an Impressum?
Create an Impressum with the Impressum Generator in 4 steps.
1. Enter the website or app the Impressum covers.
2. Enter your business details and your country.
3. Answer the questions about your register entry, VAT number, licenses and content.
4. Publish the Impressum with its Live Link, or download it and paste it into your site.
Which law replaced the Impressum rules of the TMG?
The Digital Services Act (Digitale-Dienste-Gesetz, DDG) replaced the Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz, TMG) on 14 May 2024.
The Impressum rules moved from Section 5 TMG to Section 5 DDG. An Impressum that still cites the TMG names a law that no longer exists.
The Impressum Generator cites Section 5 DDG for businesses in Germany.
Do I still link to the EU online dispute resolution platform?
No, you no longer link to the EU online dispute resolution platform (ODR platform).
The EU closed the ODR platform on 20 July 2025 under Regulation (EU) 2024/3228, and the obligation to link to it ended with the platform. Remove the old link from your Impressum, your terms and your email signatures.
The statement on consumer dispute resolution under Section 36 of the German Consumer Dispute Resolution Act (VSBG) still applies to businesses with more than 10 employees. The Impressum Generator adds that statement to your Impressum.
Does my social media profile need an Impressum?
Does a private blog need an Impressum?
A private blog in Germany needs an Impressum when it publishes for the public, not only for family and friends.
Section 18(1) of the Interstate Media Treaty (Medienstaatsvertrag, MStV) asks the provider of such a blog for a name and an address. A blog with journalistic or editorial content names the person responsible for that content (Section 18(2) MStV).
A blog that earns money from ads or affiliate links is usually commercial, and Section 5 DDG applies in full.
Where do I place my Impressum?
Place your Impressum on its own page and link it from the footer of every page.
German courts expect visitors to find the Impressum without searching and to reach it in at most 2 clicks. Name the link "Impressum", the word visitors look for.
In an app, add the link to the settings or the about screen and to the app store listing.
Is a PO box enough as the address in my Impressum?
No, a PO box is not enough as the address in your Impressum.
The law asks for a postal address where letters and court documents reach the provider. A PO box or an email address alone does not give one.
A business without an office of its own gives the street address where it receives post, such as a business center.
What happens when my Impressum is missing or incomplete?
A missing or incomplete Impressum exposes a business to warning letters and fines.
In Germany, competitors and associations send warning letters (Abmahnungen) under the Unfair Competition Act (UWG), with a demand to sign a cease-and-desist declaration and pay their legal fees. The authorities fine breaches of Section 5 DDG.
Update your Impressum when your address, your register entry or your managing directors change.
What's the difference between an Impressum and a Privacy Policy?
An Impressum says who runs the website, and a Privacy Policy says how the website handles personal data.
The Impressum follows Section 5 DDG and the matching laws of Austria and Switzerland. The Privacy Policy follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), or the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) in Switzerland.
A business website in Germany, Austria or Switzerland publishes both, on separate pages.
