Record keeping
When accessing our websites, data is automatically collected and stored in log files on our hoster's server. This data may contain personal references. The collected data includes:
- Date and time of the access
- Type and version of the internet browser
- The operating system under the browser
- IP address in anonymized form
The hoster utilises the collected data to assure the trouble-free operation of the website as well as to ensure IT security and improvement of our offer. In the event of certain indications, the log data may be analysed retrospectively. The temporary storage of the IP address by the hoster is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. This requires your IP address to remain stored for the duration of the session.
This data will not be merged with other data sources.
The basis for the data processing
The legal basis for the collection of data is Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. f of the German Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO). Our legitimate interest for the collection of data results from the above-mentioned purposes.
The data will be deleted by the hoster as soon as they are no longer required for the achievement of the purpose for which they have been collected. In the case the data was collected in order to provide the website, it will be deleted once your session on our site has ended.
If the data is stored in log files, this technical information will be deleted or made unrecognisable after 40 days at the latest.
The collection of data for the purposes of providing the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for you to object.
Cookies
Apart from the aforementioned data, we will also place cookies on your computer during your visit and use of our website.
When you first visit our website, you will be asked to consent to the use of cookies and, if so, to which categories of cookies you agree.
Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser on your device for the purposes of storing certain information. Furthermore, we use these cookies to improve your comfort and convenience when using our website or for analytical purposes.
The majority of the cookies we employ are the so-called "session cookies". They are necessary to make the services of our website technically available to you. These cookies are automatically deleted from your browser once your visit has ended.
Still some other cookies remain on your computer and enable us to recognise your personal device the next time you visit us (these are known as persistent or permanent cookies).
The next time you visit our website via the same personal device, the information stored in the cookies will be retrieved either by our website (" First Party Cookie") or by another website to which the cookie belongs (" Third Party Cookie").
These cookies are automatically deleted from your system after a preset period of time, which differs depending on the cookie.
The respective website recognises that you have already called up and visited it via the browser of your end device by means of the information stored and returned.
We use this information to optimally design and display the website in accordance with your preferences. It is only the cookie itself that is identified on your personal device.
Any further storage of personal data shall only take place with your express consent or if this is absolutely necessary for the appropriate use of the service offered and accessed by you.
This website uses the following categories of cookies, the scope and functioning of which are explained below:
- Essential cookies: Essential cookies are used to ensure functionality that is required for the intended use of our websites. These cookies will be used by us exclusively and are intended, e.g., to ensure that you, as a registered user, always remain logged in when accessing various subpages of our website, so that you do not have to re-enter your login data each time you call up a new page. The legal basis for the use is our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO).
- Functional cookies: Enable our website to store information you have already provided and to offer you improved functions as a result.
The legal basis for the use of these cookies is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO).
You can customise your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, e.g. third-party cookies (cookies placed by a third party, i.e. not by the actual website you are currently visiting), to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. You can delete any stored cookies at any time by using your web browser.
You can generally deactivate cookies in your browser at any time.
However, the functionality of this website may be impaired if cookies are deactivated.
Deleting cookies
Cookies are stored on your personal device until you delete them, which is possible at any time. Furthermore, expired cookies will be deleted automatically by your browser if you have configured your browser accordingly. Expired cookies will no longer be forwarded to our servers by your browser and can therefore no longer be processed by us.
SSL or TLS encryption (sequence changed)
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for safety reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that are submitted to us as the website operator. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock symbol is displayed in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be viewed by third parties (end-to-end encryption). The protocols verify the communicating partner and ensure the integrity of the transported data.
Registration
You can register for an extended service (FOS WindCHECK / FOS CombiCHECK) on our website. This involves the storage and processing of your personal data for the purpose of communication. The data collected for this purpose (name, address, telephone number, e-mail address) will not be passed on to third parties. The data may be stored within the framework of customer relationship management (CRM) if you are already a customer of our company.
The basis for the collection of data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) S. 1 of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO) is: the consent that you have granted, if applicable (lit. a); the processing of the information for the fulfilment of a contract or the initiation of a contract, if applicable (lit. b); the fulfilment of a legal obligation, if applicable (lit. b); and the legitimate interest of our company in the communication that you have initiated (lit. f). The data shall be deleted as soon as the purpose of the communication has been accomplished.
Newsletter
You can subscribe to a newsletter on our website, and it will be delivered to you by e-mail. The delivery to your e-mail address is carried out according to your personal registration with subsequent confirmation (double opt-in), whereby you consent to the distribution of the newsletter.
The legal basis for this arises from Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. a of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO).
We store your e-mail address and your first and last name for the purpose of delivering the newsletter. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
Our newsletter system features a function that allows us to keep track of the time at which individual recipients have opened the newsletter. This data is stored and processed to evaluate the coverage and effectiveness of individual campaigns.
Revocation of the consent to the newsletter service
You can object to the use of your data at any time with effect for the future. You will find an option to unsubscribe from the newsletter at the end of each newsletter mail or under this link:

Contact options (form)
It is possible to contact us via e-mail or contact form on our website. The information you provide in the form or e-mail, including your contact details, will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. This data (e.g. name, address, country, customer number, telephone number, e-mail address) will not be disclosed to third parties without your consent.
The data shall not be merged with other data collected on this website. The data may be stored within the framework of customer relations management (CRM) if you are already a customer of our company.
The contact form is transmitted in TLS-encrypted form. The encryption is used to prevent unauthorised access to your personal data by third parties.
The processing of this data is performed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 (b) of the GDPR, insofar as your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO).
The data you provide in the contact form or in the e-mail shall remain stored in our system until you request us to delete it, object to its processing or the purpose for storing the data is no longer applicable (e.g. after we have completed processing your enquiry). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

The following information does not apply to any direct embedding of YouTube videos on our website.
When you visit our channel on YouTube, your data may be automatically collected and stored for market research and advertising purposes. This data will be used to create the so-called usage profiles using pseudonyms. These can be used, for example, to display advertisements both inside and outside the video platform that are assumed to be in line with your interests. Cookies are generally used for this purpose and placed on your personal device. The function of cookies is explained under the data protection instructions there, so please compare the corresponding notes in that section. These cookies record the visitor's behaviour and interests.
Furthermore, the collected data enables us to obtain a statistical evaluation of target groups who are interested in our individual videos posted on YouTube. In this regard, we are provided in particular with the upload numbers and video play times. The data for statistical evaluations is anonymized in such a way that it cannot be traced back to individual persons. The recorded information includes approximate geographic location, age group and other aggregate properties.
The legal basis for the collection and processing of data is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) S. 1 lit. a of the German Data Protection Act (DSGVO), which you may have given or give to Google when calling up the website(s) there. You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future; for this purpose, please contact Google directly.
