Impressum / imprint

   
I am required by law to not only have a pricacy policy/data protection declaration but also to provide a standardized statement / legal notice about the authorship of this website and the associated business's seat, contact details, place of jurisdiction and the company's principal aim. Such a standardized notice is called in German "Impressum". 
  
This is a notoriously tricky legal term to translate. The most literal equivalent is "imprint" – and I'm using this here, despite the very valid caveat that the English term doesn't fully capture the semantic scope of the German term. The main purpose of the "imprint" is to make it easily possible for a reader to identify me and my business and see what legal status this website falls under (but see also disclaimer).
  
Similarly, the terms used in the description of the nature and purpose of the business may look at odds with what this website primarily does, but those are the terms I am obliged to use – in German, that is. The English version uses just rough approximations. 
  
However, since dark-tourism.com is based in Austria, what matters is that it complies with Austrian law. So the German version is the crucial one here (despite the fact that the website is otherwise almost exclusively in English). It will therefore also be given first. 
  
An English version follows only as a point of reference, so that readers who do not know any German can understand it too. But the German version remains the one that matters legally.
