Impressum adds a full-fledged and easy to use imprint generator in your WordPress dashboard. Once setup, Impressum takes care of your legal notices. Once legal requirements change, Impressum will update your legal content either on its own or asks for your help if the changes can't be made automatically. Your imprint is generated right within WordPress, so your personal information won't be sent to a third party server.

In certain countries like Germany and Austria, the law requires some website owners to add their contact information to their sites.
Yes, and they are great. But adding an imprint generator directly to your WordPress install makes it pretty easy for you to stay up to date.
After you install and activate Impressum we will kindly ask you to populate some form fields with all the data you are legally required to add to your imprint. Impressum will guide you through this process.
By adding the "Imprint" block anywhere on your site, you can choose where to output your imprint. Alternatively, you can use the shortcode [impressum].
After this initial setup, Impressum just sits in your installation and serves your imprint. Once legal requirements change, Impressum will notify you about necessary changes.
Yes. Impressum is and always will be available for free. However, if your site is legally operated by a legal entity who's not an individual person, you must install Impressum Plus, in order to use all fields necessary for your legal entity. Get it from here: https://impressum.plus/en/.
No. Impressum keeps all your data inside your own WordPress install. There is no data transmitted to us or a third party service. But of course the '[impressum]' shortcode will be displayed publicly on your website.
Yes. Since version 2.0.0 there is a block "Imprint" for this exact purpose.
