1. Warning about content
   The free and freely accessible contents of this website have been created with the greatest possible care. However, the provider of this website does not guarantee the accuracy and timeliness of the provided free and freely accessible journalistic guides and news. Contributions marked with names reflect the opinion of the respective author and not always the opinion of the provider. Merely by accessing the free and freely accessible content, no contractual relationship is established between the user and the provider, as there is a lack of intention to create legal relations on the part of the provider.
   
   
2. External links
   This website contains links to third-party websites (“external links”). These websites are the responsibility of the respective operators. When first linking these external links, the provider checked the external content for possible legal violations. At that time, no legal violations were apparent. The provider has no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. The setting of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the content behind the reference or link. Continuous monitoring of external links by the provider without specific indications of legal violations is not reasonable. However, if legal violations become known, such external links will be deleted immediately.
   
   
3. Copyright and neighbouring rights
   The content published on this website is subject to German copyright and ancillary copyright law. Any use not permitted by German copyright and ancillary copyright law requires the prior written consent of the provider or respective rights holder. This applies in particular to duplication, editing, translation, storage, processing, or reproduction of content in databases or other electronic media and systems. Content and rights of third parties are identified as such. Unauthorized duplication or distribution of individual contents or complete pages is not permitted and punishable by law. Only the production of copies and downloads for personal, private, and non-commercial use is permitted.
   
   The representation of this website in external frames is only permissible with written permission.
   
   
4. Special terms of use
   Where special conditions for individual uses of this website deviate from the aforementioned paragraphs, this will be expressly indicated at the appropriate place. In such cases, the special terms of use apply in the respective individual case.

I inform you below in accordance with the legal requirements of data protection law, in particular according to the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG n.F.), about the type, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data by my company. This privacy policy also applies to my other websites and social media profiles. For the definition of terms such as “personal data” or “processing,” please refer to Art. 4 GDPR:

• Name and contact details of the data controller:
  Our data controller (hereinafter “Controller”) within the meaning of Art. 4 para. 7 GDPR is:
  Marianne Treichl
  Birkenstraße 11b
  85757 Karlsfeld
  Managing Director: Marianne Treichl
  Email address: praxis@marianne-treichl.de
  
• Data protection officer:
  Marianne Treichl
  Birkenstraße 11b
  85757 Karlsfeld
  Email address: praxis@marianne-treichl.de
  
• Types of data processed, purposes of processing, and categories of data subjects:
  Below we inform you about the type, scope, and purpose of collecting, processing, and using personal data.
  
  
  1. Types of data I process:
     Usage data (access times, visited websites, etc.), communication data (IP address, etc.).
  2. Purposes of processing according to Art. 13(1)(c) GDPR:
     Optimizing the website technically and economically, enabling easy access to the website, handling contact in case of legal objections by third parties, improving user experience, designing the website to be user-friendly, creating statistics, preventing spam and abuse, customer service and customer care, handling contact inquiries, providing websites with functions and content, uninterrupted and secure operation of our website.
  3. Categories of data subjects according to Art. 13(1)(e) GDPR:
     Visitors/users of the website, customers, prospects.
     The data subjects are collectively referred to as “users”.
• Legal basis for processing personal data:
  Below, we inform you about the legal basis for processing personal data:
  
  
  1. If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis.
  2. If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that occur upon your request, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR is the legal basis.
  3. If the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., legal retention obligations), Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR is the legal basis.
  4. If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR is the legal basis.
  5. If the processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis.
• Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties and Data Processors:
  Without your consent, we generally do not disclose data to third parties. If this does occur, it is based on the legal grounds mentioned earlier, such as when data is shared with online payment providers for contract fulfillment, due to a court order, or for legal obligations related to law enforcement, hazard prevention, or protection of intellectual property rights. Additionally, we engage external service providers (data processors) for tasks like web hosting our websites and databases. Any transfer of data to these processors under an agreement for data processing complies with Art. 28 GDPR. We carefully select these processors, regularly monitor them, and maintain the right to instruct them regarding data handling. Moreover, processors must have implemented suitable technical and organizational measures and comply with data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and GDPR.
• Data Transfer to Third Countries:
  The European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) establishes a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Consequently, your data is primarily processed by companies to which GDPR applies. If processing occurs by third-party services outside the European Union or European Economic Area, they must meet the specific conditions of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. This requires processing under special guarantees, such as an EU Commission-approved determination of a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU or adherence to officially recognized special contractual obligations, known as “standard contractual clauses”. If, due to the invalidity of the so-called “Privacy Shield”, we obtain your explicit consent under Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR for data transfer to the USA, we inform you about the risks of potential secret access by US authorities and use of data for surveillance purposes, possibly without legal recourse for EU citizens.
• Data Erasure and Storage Duration:
  Unless explicitly stated otherwise in this privacy statement, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke the consent given for processing or when the purpose for storage no longer applies or the data is no longer necessary for the intended purpose, unless continued storage is required for evidentiary purposes or is prevented by statutory retention obligations. This includes, for example, commercial retention obligations for business letters under § 257(1) HGB (6 years) and tax retention obligations for documents under § 147(1) AO (10 years). Upon expiration of the prescribed retention period, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless continued storage is necessary for contract conclusion or performance.
• Automated decision-making:
  We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
