Hi, I have a "public" Minecraft server that has a website.
I have heard that it is mandatory to have an imprint (with address, etc.). Is that correct?
Or are normal contact details such as email enough? Because we do not have a "company headquarters" and I never give my private home address.
What is on the website
Yes is mandatory with real information. (Private)
Yes, the "provider identification" is mandatory. This also includes the postal address and other contact details such as telephone number, email address, etc.
Except the page is purely private! Then it must not be freely accessible!
Contact, team members are listed, About us. And something like that
In other questions, you mentioned that you were collecting donations.
So you have to register a business as soon as there's a profit intention, that is the case with you, and of course you also have to tax the income.
And you also need an imprint, otherwise it will be expensive.
Just an example:
A missing or incorrect imprint can cost you up to 50,000 euro.
And yes, the number of zeros is completely correct:

If you are a minor, you need the consent of your legal guardian and that of the family court to register a business:

And I would not let it matter, the tax offices have software with very amazing skills…
So do I have to share my private data (home address, telephone number) with the whole world if I don't have a "company headquarters"?
Ok, as soon as you have a domain on the website you are required to provide the name, full address, telephone number and email.
Uh ok. 😅 thanks haha. But the website has nothing to do with the donations.
Yes
HM ok.
As you think, your thing.
Then everything else applies.
Ok thanks ^^
Better state it before you get a warning😉
OK. Thanks for your help ^^ you gave me a lot of information and sources.
Yes you have to! : - /
