Data protection information Unitedflags collects, processes and uses personal client data if this is deemed necessary to settle the contract. This data processing is carried out in accordance with the following declaration: General: Unitedflags abides by the strict regulations stipulated by German data protection law and respects the personal sphere of its clients. You can use and try out the Unitedflags shop while remaining totally anonymous. We will ask for your data directly before you submit a legally binding order. You can decide for yourself whether you provide us with data above and beyond the personal data required. In order to settle the contract, it is necessary for Unitedflags to collect and save the client's personal data. Unfortunately, the contract cannot be performed and Unitedflags cannot carry out its service unless data has been entered in all fields marked with an "*". Additional data may, of course, be entered. Processing location The data will be collected and saved exclusively on the Unitedflags server. The server is located in the Federal Republic of Germany. Data will not be transmitted to a non-EU country. Safeguarding the confidentiality of your data by encodement As soon as you are required to enter personal and thus confidential data, we protect your data from being intercepted by a third party ("eavesdropping"), insofar as this can be technically and reasonably possible, by encoding the data transmitted using SSL. Until a so-called safe connection has been set up, the uncoded data is transmitted via the open Internet network. Until then there is the constant danger that a third party may intercept and/or read the transmitted data. You can end the connection to Unitedflags and the data transmission at any time by cancelling the service. Checking and processing data Unitedflags is also entitled to check the correctness of the data provided (name, address, delivery address, payment data) and, if necessary, the creditworthiness of the client themselves or through a third party in accordance with the provisions of the contract. In addition, standard and permissible information can be obtained from credit enquiry agencies for commercial clients. Furthermore, Unitedflags will check bank details and credit card data, and any other data provided for handling payments when the order is placed. Unitedflags may, as appears just, also obtain general customary banking information from the bank in charge of an account, if this is deemed necessary for investigating creditworthiness within the framework of performing the contract. Linking data For invoicing purposes, Unitedflags will link the type and number of goods and the additional price to the selling price to the ID number of the shop owner for each order placed. In so doing, it is not possible to determine the buyer's identity. Engaging a third party Unitedflags makes use of the services of trustworthy third parties when performing the contract, especially for manufacturing the goods, delivering to clients and handling payments. In accordance with the Unitedflags business model, it is necessary to engage third parties in order to maintain a low-cost service for the client. Unitedflags will therefore restrict the personal data to be transmitted to these trustworthy third parties for the purpose of performing the contract to a minimum. Visit the website to find out more about Unitedflags' trustworthy contracting parties. The transmitted data is saved, processed and used by the third party in accordance with the provisions of the contract until the contract has been settled. Unitedflags' contracting parties are obliged to delete the data immediately after performing the contract, insofar as this data is no longer required. Cookies The client is reminded that cookies are used on the Unitedflags website and when using the shop. Unitedflags uses cookies for the following: Shopping basket system Affiliate programme The cookies used by Unitedflags save the following data: Item Design SessionID The cookies save this data until the browser is closed.

Deleting data All client data is deleted 60 days after fully performing the contract.
