Privacy Policy
Personal data (hereinafter mostly referred to simply as “data”) is only processed by us to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered there.
According to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to only as “GDPR”), “processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.
With the following privacy policy, we inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we either alone or jointly with others determine the purposes and means of the processing. Additionally, we inform you below about the third-party components we use for optimization purposes and to improve the quality of use, provided that these involve third parties processing data under their own responsibility.
Our privacy policy is structured as follows:
I. Information about me as data controllers
II. Rights of users and data subjects
III. Information on data processing
I. Information about me as the data controller
The data controller of this website under data protection law is:
Julia Theresia Malischke

Phone: +49-172-8167975
E-Mail: music@julemalischke.de
II. Rights of users and data subjects
With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right
- to confirmation as to whether data concerning them is being processed, to information about the processed data, to further details about the data processing, and to copies of the data (cf. Art. 15 GDPR);
- to rectification or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (cf. Art. 16 GDPR);
- to immediate erasure of their personal data (cf. Art. 17 GDPR), or alternatively, where further processing is required under Art. 17(3) GDPR, to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
- to receive the data concerning them and provided by them, and to have this data transmitted to other providers/controllers (see also Art. 20 GDPR);
- to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that their data is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).
Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed about any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out pursuant to Articles 16, 17(1), and 18 GDPR. This obligation does not apply insofar as such notification proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. Regardless of this, the user has the right to be informed about these recipients.
Users and data subjects also have the right, pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, to object to the future processing of data concerning them, provided that the data is processed by the provider on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data processing for direct marketing purposes is permissible.
III. Information on Data Processing
The data processed during your use of our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, unless legal retention obligations prevent the deletion of the data and no other information is provided below regarding specific processing procedures.
Cookies
a) Session-Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you to a varying extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that the cookies process data for the initiation or fulfillment of a contract.
If the processing does not serve the initiation or fulfillment of a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. In this case, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.
b) Third-Party Cookies
Where applicable, cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purposes of advertising, analytics, or the functionality of our website may also be used in connection with our online presence.
For further details, particularly regarding the purposes and legal bases for the processing of such third-party cookies, please refer to the information provided below.
c) Possibility of Removal
You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings of your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. The necessary steps and measures for this, however, depend on the specific internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support service. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash Player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash Player you are using. If you have any questions, please also refer to the help function or documentation of your Flash Player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, it may result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.
Contact Requests / Means of Contact
If you contact us via contact form or email, the data you provide will be used to process your inquiry. Providing this data is necessary to process and respond to your request—without it, we may not be able to respond to your inquiry at all or only to a limited extent.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Your data will be deleted once your inquiry has been fully answered and provided that no legal retention obligations oppose the deletion, such as in the case of a subsequent contract processing.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our free newsletter, the data requested for this purpose—your email address and, optionally, your name and address—will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we will store the IP address of the internet connection you used to access our website, as well as the date and time of your subscription. During the subscription process, we will obtain your consent to receive the newsletter, specify the content of the newsletter, and refer to this privacy policy. The data collected in this context will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR. To do so, simply inform us of your revocation or click the unsubscribe link included in each newsletter.
Serverdata
For technical reasons, particularly to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted by your internet browser to us or to our web space provider. These so-called server log files collect, among other things, the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you accessed our website (referrer URL), the pages of our website that you visit, the date and time of each access, as well as the IP address of the internet connection from which our website is accessed.
This data is temporarily stored, but not in combination with other personal data.
This storage is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the stability, functionality, and security of our website.
The data will be deleted no later than seven days after collection, unless further retention is required for evidentiary purposes. In that case, the data is excluded from deletion until the incident has been fully clarified.
Contract Execution
The data you provide for the use of our goods and/or services is processed by us for the purpose of contract execution and is necessary for this purpose. The conclusion and fulfillment of the contract are not possible without the provision of your data.
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We delete the data once the contract has been fully executed, while observing the statutory retention periods under tax and commercial law.
As part of the contract execution, we pass on your data to the shipping company commissioned with the delivery of the goods or to the financial service provider, insofar as the transfer is necessary for the delivery of goods or for payment purposes.
The legal basis for the transfer of data is therefore Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

General Linking to Profiles on Third-Party Platforms
The provider uses links on the website to the social networks listed below.
The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The provider’s legitimate interest lies in improving the user experience of the website.
The integration of the plugins is done via a linked graphic. Only by clicking on the respective graphic is the user redirected to the service of the corresponding social network.
After the user has been redirected, information about them may be collected by the respective network. This typically includes data such as the IP address, date and time, and the page visited. If the user is logged into their user account of the respective network at that time, the network operator may associate the collected information from the specific visit with the user’s personal account. If the user interacts using a “Share” button on the network, this information may be stored in the user’s personal account and potentially be made public. To prevent the collected information from being directly associated with their user account, the user must log out before clicking the graphic. Additionally, users can configure their respective user accounts accordingly.
The following social networks are linked by the provider:

Jetpack – WordPress Stats
On our website, we use Jetpack with the “WordPress Stats” extension. This is a web analytics service provided by Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Automattic.”
The Jetpack – WordPress Stats service is used to analyze user behavior on our website. If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis may also be Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website.
To analyze user behavior, Jetpack – WordPress Stats stores cookies via your internet browser on your device.
In the course of processing, your IP address, the page(s) of our website you visit, the website from which you accessed our site (referrer URL), the time spent on our site, and the frequency of your visits are recorded. The data collected is stored on a server operated by Automattic in the USA. However, your IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before storage.
If you do not agree to this processing, you can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your internet browser accordingly. For more information on this, please refer to the section above titled “Cookies.”
YouTube
We use YouTube on our website. This is a video platform operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube.”
We use YouTube in conjunction with the “enhanced data protection mode” feature to display videos to you. If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis may also be Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website. According to YouTube, the “enhanced data protection mode” means that the following data is only transmitted to YouTube’s servers when you actually start a video.
Without this “enhanced data protection,” a connection to YouTube’s servers in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our webpages with an embedded YouTube video.
This connection is necessary to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the process, YouTube will at least collect and process your IP address, the date and time, and the page you visited. In addition, a connection to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network is established.
If you are logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube will associate the connection data with your YouTube account. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or adjust the corresponding settings in your YouTube account.
For the purpose of functionality and to analyze user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your internet browser. If you do not agree to this processing, you can prevent the storage of cookies by changing your browser settings accordingly. For more information, please refer to the section above titled “Cookies.”
