Privacy Policy

What we collect when you visit this site, why, and how to control it. Last updated 3 July 2026.

Who we are

Hydrowind Engineering ("we", "us"), Schiekade 14M, Rotterdam, Netherlands, is the data controller for this website. Contact us at info@hydrowind.nl with any privacy question.

What we collect

Website analytics. With your consent, we use Google Analytics to understand how visitors use this site — which pages are viewed, how long for, and general device/browser and approximate location information (derived from your IP address). Analytics is off by default and only starts running after you click "Accept" on the cookie banner. Google may process this data on servers outside the EU, including in the United States.

Contact form. If you submit our contact form, we collect your name, email address, company, role, and message content, in order to respond to your enquiry. This is processed via Netlify Forms, our website hosting provider.

Cookies

We use two categories of cookies:

  • Strictly necessary — none beyond what's needed to remember your cookie choice itself (stored in your browser, not a tracking cookie).
  • Analytics (optional) — Google Analytics cookies (e.g. _ga, _ga_*), set only if you accept. You can change your choice at any time via the "Cookie settings" link in the footer of any page.

Why we process this data

  • Analytics: based on your consent, to understand and improve how the site is used.
  • Contact form: to respond to your enquiry, which is a legitimate interest we have in operating this business.

How long we keep it

Analytics data is retained according to Google's default Google Analytics retention settings. Contact form submissions are kept for as long as needed to handle your enquiry and any resulting business relationship.

Your rights

Under GDPR, you can ask to access, correct, or delete the personal data we hold about you, and you can object to or withdraw consent for analytics at any time. To exercise any of these rights, email info@hydrowind.nl. You can also lodge a complaint with the Dutch Data Protection Authority (Autoriteit Persoonsgegevens) if you believe your data has been mishandled.

Changing your cookie choice

You can accept or reject analytics cookies at any time by clicking Cookie settings (also available in the footer of every page).
