Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data as confidential and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Please note that data transmitted via the internet may be subject to security breaches. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.
Party Responsible for This Website
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (names, email addresses, etc.). For this website, that is United Division. Contact details can be found in the Contact section below.
Opposition to Promotional Emails
We expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of this website for sending promotional or informational materials not expressly requested. United Division reserves the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising, such as spam, is received.
Your Rights
Revocation of Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. Data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
Right to File Complaints
If there has been a breach of data protection legislation, the affected person may file a complaint with the competent regulatory authorities.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. Direct transfer to another responsible party will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Information, Blocking, Deletion
As permitted by law, you have the right to receive — free of charge — information about any personal data stored about you, including its origin, recipients, and the purpose for which it was processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked, or deleted. Contact us at any time using the details in the legal notice for questions on personal data.

Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most cookies we use are "session cookies" — automatically deleted after your visit. Others remain in your device's memory until you delete them, allowing your browser to be recognized on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie use, accept or reject them on a case-by-case basis, or automatically delete them when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Server Log Files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser transmits to us in "server log files." This includes:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of server request
- IP address
These data are not combined with data from other sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) EU GDPR, which allows processing to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures.
Contract & Customer Data
Processing of Personal Data
We collect, process, and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary to establish or modify legal relationships with us. This is done based on Art. 6(1)(b) EU GDPR. Usage data is collected only to the extent required to enable access to our service. Collected customer data shall be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship, subject to legal retention periods.
Data Transmitted via Contracts
We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfill the terms of your contract — for example, to delivery companies or payment processors. Your data will not be transmitted for any other purpose unless you have given express permission. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising purposes without your express consent.
Data for Services & Digital Content
We transmit personally identifiable data to third parties only to the extent required to fulfill your contract with us. Your data will not be used for any other purpose, and will not be disclosed to third parties for advertising without your express consent.
Social Media
Our website contains functions of the Instagram service, offered by Instagram Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If you are logged into your Instagram account and click the Instagram button, Instagram may associate your visit with your user account. United Division expressly notes that we receive no information on the content or use of transmitted data.

Analytics & Advertising
Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses the open source web analytics service Matomo. Matomo uses cookies — text files stored on your computer — to allow analysis of website usage. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is stored on our server. IP addresses are anonymized before storage.
Matomo cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Storage is based on Art. 6(1)(f) EU GDPR — the website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize the website.
Information generated by cookies about your use of this website will not be disclosed to third parties. You can prevent cookies being stored by adjusting your browser settings, though this may affect site functionality.

Google Maps
This site uses the Google Maps service via an API, operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Using Google Maps requires your IP address to be saved and generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA. United Division has no influence over this data transfer.
Google Maps is used to make our website more visually useful and to facilitate location of places we specify. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) EU GDPR.
For more information, see Google's Privacy Policy.
