Provide Mandatory Legal Information (Terms and Conditions, Legal Notice, Privacy Policy)

Quick guide to creating and linking terms and conditions, a privacy policy and a legal notice in Converia.

Overview

For mandatory legal information, you generally need to ensure two things in Converia:

  1. The mandatory confirmation is displayed (depending on the area).

  2. There is a linkable destination (page structure) and content (article or redirect).


Prerequisites

  • Access to Configuration → Basic Settings → Configuration

  • Existing legal texts (terms and conditions, privacy policy, legal notice), if applicable, or links/documents to which you want to redirect users.


Configuration / Procedure

Use the appropriate quick guide for each topic:

  • Add and link terms and conditions

  • Add and link a privacy policy

  • Create and link a legal notice


Notes

  • For more detailed information about page structure and articles, refer to the articles about the Converia website (page structure/articles).

Important: In Germany, there are clear legal requirements. A legal notice and a privacy policy are mandatory for most websites. Terms and conditions are not compulsory, but they are useful and legally beneficial when entering into contracts with customers.

These legal requirements for a legal notice, privacy policy and, where applicable, general terms and conditions are largely comparable throughout the DACH region (Germany, Austria and Switzerland), although there are some country-specific differences.

Due to these country-specific differences, we recommend that you independently familiarise yourself with the applicable regulations in your country or seek legal advice to ensure that your website complies with legal requirements.
