Legal
Impressum
Provider identification under § 5 DDG. German law requires a digital service offered on a commercial basis to name the person or company behind it, in a place any visitor can reach directly from any page.
AnbieterOperator of this service
- Name
- [[LEGAL ENTITY NAME]]
- Rechtsform
- [[LEGAL FORM: GMBH, UG, GBR OR EINZELUNTERNEHMEN]]
- Anschrift
- [[STREET AND HOUSE NUMBER]]
[[POSTCODE AND CITY]]
[[COUNTRY]]
The address has to be one where post can actually be served. A post office box does not satisfy § 5 DDG, and neither does a c/o line with no real occupier behind it.
VertretungsberechtigteAuthorised representative
- Geschäftsführung
- [[AUTHORISED REPRESENTATIVE, FULL NAME]]
Required only where the operator is a legal entity such as a GmbH or a UG. A sole trader is named in full in the section above and this whole section should be deleted rather than left empty.
KontaktContact
- hello@sorted.pics
- Telefon
- [[TELEPHONE NUMBER, OR DELETE THIS ROW]]
§ 5 DDG asks for a means of fast electronic contact and direct communication. The address above is that means, it is routed today, and it is the address every other page on this site points at. A telephone number is not strictly required where a second comparably quick channel exists, so leave the row out rather than publish a number nobody answers.
RegistereintragRegister entry
- Registergericht
- [[REGISTER COURT]]
- Registernummer
- [[REGISTER NUMBER, FORMAT HRB 000000]]
For entities entered in the commercial, cooperative, association or partnership register. Delete the section if the operator is not registered anywhere.
Umsatzsteuer-IdentifikationsnummerVAT identification number
- USt-IdNr.
- [[VAT ID, FORMAT DE000000000]]
§ 27 a UStG, and only where a VAT ID has actually been issued. A Steuernummer is a different thing, it identifies the operator to the tax office, and it does not belong on a public page.
Verantwortlich für den InhaltEditorially responsible
- Name
- [[EDITORIALLY RESPONSIBLE PERSON]]
- Anschrift
- [[ADDRESS, IF DIFFERENT FROM THE OPERATOR]]
§ 18 Abs. 2 MStV applies here rather than being boilerplate. sorted.pics publishes an archive of press photography from named events, with credits and captions, which is editorial content by any reading.
VerbraucherstreitbeilegungConsumer dispute resolution
- Teilnahme
- [[WILLING OR NOT WILLING TO PARTICIPATE, PICK ONE]]
§ 36 VSBG wants a plain statement either way. Silence is the one answer that is not available.
The European Commission's online dispute resolution platform was discontinued on 20 July 2025 under Regulation (EU) 2024/3228, and traders were told to remove the link by that date. This page therefore carries no link to it. Any Impressum template still offering one is out of date.

Who owns the photographs and what press may do with a share link is set out in the Lizenz.
