As we all knows that Facebook gives value to their users and don't want any type of miscommunication between Facebook pages and users. Either its small business, multinational business or the entertaining page, cricket updates page, one needs to clear the policy about their page and that's where the Impressum comes into the role. So let's talk about Impressum and how could you fill it according to your business area or field of your page.

Impressum is a Latin word described as 'Legal Statement of Ownership' 'Legal Notice and Disclosure'. Today, Facebook is having millions of traffic and the small miscommunication or misleading can harm the facebook users and that's the reason adding an Impressum is law in few countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc. If you are Indian, it's up to you whether you want to add it or not.

If you build any website, app or game, it's required to have About Us and Terms of Condition (TOS) Page and that's why Facebook added an 'Impressum' option.

How to Write an Impressum for Facebook Page?

  1. Name and Address of your Business/Organization
  2. Contact Information with Name of Owner/Manager of the Page
  3. Explain about page nature in accordance with your local law
  4. Detailed and legal information about your facebook fan page.

Suppose you are running a page which adds funny stuff to entertain others then you should mention that "This page is not made for any type of illegal activity or it's just made for fun." If you are running a page through which you are getting business then you should mention your business policy so that the users can decide accordingly.

You could write Impressum as long as 2000 characters in which you could draw all the necessary details about your page either its gaming page, Hollywood page or local business page. If you write it properly, you get more chance to grab the business so don't take it for granted, work on it and get the job done!

If you are struggling in creating your own Impressum about your Facebook page then you could use some other's Impressum information to get the idea. You could change your Business name, owner name, email id, official phone number. Though many Impressum is already added to Facebook Pages, many business owners still feel uncomfortable to add this portion because it's some sort of legal bound and limitation which owners need to take care.
