Mandatory e-mail signature information for Control Germany centrally

In Germany , the insertion of an e-mail signature for companies entered in the companies registered in the commercial register when sending business-related e-mails. mandatory . Since 1 .1.2007 this has been laid down by law in the in the "Law on Electronic Commercial Registers and Registers of Cooperatives and registers and the register of companies" (EHUG), which requires business business e-mails are classified as business letters. The term "e-mail signature" is signature is also referred to as e-mail imprint or imprint obligation for "business letters". Imprint obligation for "business letters". Exactly what information must be included in this e-mail imprint depends on the legal form of the company in question, i.e. whether it is, for example, a sole trader (e.K., e.Kfm.) registered in the commercial register, a registered sole trader (e.Kfr.), an OHG, KG, GmbH, GmbH & Co. KG, UG, AG or cooperative.

In order to ensure that all employees throughout the company have the required mandatory information is included in the e-mail signature, an e-mail signature e-mail signature add-in, which is technically managed by the IT department, whereby the the content of the mandatory information should be defined by the compliance or legal department, and legal department , and the e-mail signatures should be pre-formulated for each pre-formulated for each employee based on these legal requirements with the help of the e-mail signature add-in.

There is often talk of "email signature business" in connection with mandatory disclosures. However, the aforementioned term "business-like" is not identical with the term "business" is identical. This is because only those e-mails are considered to be business-related, which are directed outwards and have business-like content (such as offers, price lists offers, price lists, order confirmations, inquiry confirmations, invoices). Other business e-mails and e-mails sent within the company are not subject to e-mail signature not subject to the e-mail signature requirement.

After you have clicked on all the options and entered the required you can use sicsection-main-texth to create the e-mail signature as a Word document. as a Word document. However, rechtswal is not an offer from a law firm, even though the law firm , even if the site is operated by the lawyer Marion Janke and the and behind the contracts offered there, samples and forms specialist lawyers and experts stand. In addition, the email signature generator of rechtswal is advertised on the website of the law firm Janke with the statement "tested by a lawyer". In Incidentally, this email signature generator is free of charge and in German.

However, there are also law firms that offer automated assistance with the the creation of the legally required e-mail signature on their website, such as the IT-Recht Kanzlei with its free E-Mail Mandatory Information Wizard. Here, however, only a sample is displayed, depending on depending on the legal form of the company selected from the drop-down list. The law firm expressly points out, however, that the Disclosure Wizard for e-mail signatures is not a substitute for legal advice, since it only uses uses only prefabricated samples. Who uses the assistant, does this on own risk. If the case is more complex, the user should seek legal advice for the creation of the e-mail signature. e-mail signature from a lawyer who is familiar with competition law and IT law. competition law and IT law. As an example of a more complex case a company in liquidation.

However, both tools, i.e. both the e-mail signature generator from rechtswal as well as the e-mail signature wizard of IT-Recht Kanzlei are outdated, as tradesmen who are not registered in the commercial register and unregistered civil law companies (GbR) because of the deletion of § 15 b Gewerbeordnung (GewO). (GewO) since 25.3.2009, tradesmen who are not registered in the commercial register and companies e-mail signature. However, it must be said that the specification of a address is nevertheless recommended for these self-employed persons, for example by the chambers of commerce, for example. The obligation to provide a summonable address address can also result, for example, from § 2 Service Information Obligations Ordinance (DL-InfoV) for a service provider. service provider before conclusion of the contract or, if no written contract is concluded, before written contract is concluded, before the service is provided. This concerns then also the e-mail signature of a freelancer.

Difference to HTML email signature generator

An e-mail signature generator for generating the mandatory information in accordance with the legal regulations is not to be confused with a generator that generates an HTML email signature generated. Such an HTML email signature generator serves to make one yourself an email signature with the help of templates with different email signature designs by selecting the desired email signature template and then selecting the still Data such as name, company name, position in the company, address, mandatory data, phone number, fax, email address and website URL, adding the social media icons to profiles, uploads an image and logo, and adds a call-to-action button. call-to-action button (CTA button) and possibly a banner.

Afterwards you can copy the HTML source code and paste it into the corresponding file at Outlook, which is a bit cumbersome, because you have to create the signature file file first and then you have to call the folder with the right command in which the folder with the where the folder with the new signature file is located. When using an e-mail signature add-in for Outlook you can save this detour, because you can copy the signature directly in the add-in or the e-mail signature program.

Mandatory information for e-mail signature: Austria and Switzerland

In Austria , too, there is a so-called imprint obligation for e-mails. And also in Austria the required mandatory information is derived from various laws. § SECTION 14 UGB (Unternehmensgesetzbuch), for example, regulates the mandatory information in the e-mail signature for companies which are registered in the commercial register. § Section 63 GewO (Trade, Commerce and Industry Regulation Act) is a norm in this regard which applies to all traders who are not registered in the commercial register. Users of newsletters must comply with §§ 24, 25 MedienG (Media Act). And finally, there are supplementary provisions in the Telecommunications Act and the Data Protection Act.

In e-mails sent by companies within Switzerland , there are no mandatory information in the e-mail signature. However, the situation is different when Swiss companies send e-mails to Germany or Austria, for example. Then the companies must comply with the German regulations or the Austrian regulations on Austrian regulations on e-mail signatures.

Comply with GDPR information obligations by Link

The information obligations under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR or GDPR) according to the Austrian Federal Economic Chamber , for example, by including a link to the data privacy e-mail or the newsletter a link to the data protection declaration. Since the DSGVO also also applies in Germany, experts recommend that interested parties be informed by a link to the privacy statement, which can be found on the homepage, about the data protection concerns by means of a link to the data protection declaration.

The company's data protection officers should therefore insist that the company uses that rule-based e-mail signature software is used in the company to link to the appropriate information obligations to link to the appropriate information obligations in accordance with the GDPR.

Disclaimer and disclosure statements add

In particular, by centrally defining and adding disclaimers under the email signature, compliance and legal departments can be sure that the email disclaimers developed by the compliance or legal department are actually are actually applied throughout the company in the e-mail signature. This is the only way legal certainty can be achieved; otherwise, it can happen time and again that employees fail to include the disclaimer in the e-mail signature or use illegal disclaimers. use illegal disclaimers.

Without a centrally controlled disclaimer plugin or disclaimer add-in, it can happen that that employees include the disclaimer in their signature, but make transcription errors or make idiosyncratic changes to the disclaimer text. make. Many disclaimers are ineffective because they regulate something that cannot be implemented. or because they are general terms and conditions that require the prior consent of the recipient. would have to be agreed to beforehand.

However, as already indicated, there are also disclaimers that can cause harm, namely if if they are too broad, i.e., if they violate the prohibitions on exclusion laid down in which can lead to a warning. Disclaimers are not mandatory in Germany, Switzerland, or Austria.

Nevertheless, there are many companies and even lawyers who use disclaimers in their e-mails. use disclaimers.
