If you have made a
Facebook page lately you might have seen the Impressum field along with the description and privacy policy box.
Facebook now asks you to add an Impressum before you can publish your page and start offering your services.
Let’s look in detail what is Impressum and how you can add Impressum to your Facebook page (if you need one).
What is Impressum on Facebook
Impressum is Latin for Credits. It is a more formal version of your about us. Impressum contains information like the company’s ownership, business address, and contact details.
This field was introduced on Facebook in 2015 and has been there since there. Let’s see if you need to add one or not.
Do You Need An Impressum?
Businesses in German-speaking countries such as Austria, Germany, and Switzerland, are required by law to provide this information on their web presence.
If your business is located here or you do business with these countries, you are also required to provide this information on your page,
Businesses and individuals apart from the above-mentioned countries should check their local law to learn more about this.
