Terms of Use

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to comply with these Terms of Use and all applicable laws and regulations.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you should not use the Website.

Purpose of the Website

Onshore Wind Experts provides information, directories, professional profiles, company listings, industry content, tools, and other resources related to the onshore wind sector.

The Website may also facilitate connections between professionals, companies, suppliers, consultants, employers, clients, and other participants in the wind energy industry.

The Website may evolve over time and may include additional services.

Certain paid or commercial services may be subject to additional terms presented at the time of purchase, registration, or engagement.

Accounts and Profiles

Where the Website allows users to create, claim, edit, or manage an account, company listing, or professional profile, users are responsible for ensuring that the information they provide is accurate, current, and lawful.

You must not impersonate another person or organization, misrepresent your affiliation with an organization, or knowingly provide materially false or misleading information.

If you submit information on behalf of a company or another person, you represent that you are authorized to provide that information or otherwise have a lawful basis for doing so.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of any credentials associated with your account and for activities carried out through your account.

We may request reasonable evidence to confirm ownership, employment, authorization, or other information associated with a profile or listing.

Public Directory and Listings

Professional and company profiles published on the Website are generally intended to be publicly accessible.

Public profile information may therefore:

• be viewed by Website visitors;
• appear in search results and directory pages;
• be indexed by external search engines;
• be linked from other websites;
• appear in category, specialization, country, company, or professional pages;
• be included in search, recommendation, or discovery features offered by Onshore Wind Experts; and
• be used to promote relevant Website content through Onshore Wind Experts' own communications and channels.

Users should not include information in a public profile that they do not wish to make publicly available.

Some directory entries may be created or supplemented using professional information obtained from publicly available sources. Where appropriate, the person or organization concerned may request correction, updating, claiming, or removal of a listing.

Inclusion in the directory does not imply that a person, company, product, or service has been independently audited, certified, verified, approved, or endorsed by Onshore Wind Experts unless this is expressly stated.

User-Submitted Content

You retain ownership of content that you submit to Onshore Wind Experts, including text, descriptions, logos, images, documents, profile information, and other materials.

By submitting content for publication or display through the Website, you grant Onshore Wind Experts a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, adapt for technical or formatting purposes, display, distribute, and communicate that content as reasonably necessary to:

• operate the Website;
• display your profile, listing, or submission;
• provide search and directory functionality;
• improve the Website and its services;
• promote the Website and relevant profiles or listings through Onshore Wind Experts' own channels; and
• provide related Onshore Wind Experts services.

This license includes the right to use service providers acting on our behalf where reasonably necessary to provide these functions.

You represent that you have the rights and permissions necessary to submit the content and grant this license.

The license normally ends when the relevant content is permanently removed from our active systems, except where continued retention is reasonably necessary for backups, technical operation, legal compliance, dispute resolution, fraud prevention, or the establishment or defense of legal claims.

Content Moderation

We may review, edit, correct, restrict, refuse, suspend, or remove content where we reasonably believe it:

• is inaccurate or materially misleading;
• infringes intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
• violates applicable law;
• contains spam, malicious material, or deceptive content;
• creates a security or operational risk;
• is irrelevant to the purpose of the Website;
• violates these Terms; or
• otherwise materially harms the integrity or usefulness of the platform.

We are not required to pre-screen every item of content submitted or displayed on the Website.

Where applicable law requires particular notice, explanation, complaint, or appeal procedures in connection with content moderation, we will apply those procedures.

Sponsored, Featured, and Commercial Content

Certain companies, professionals, services, opportunities, or other content may receive enhanced visibility through paid, sponsored, featured, promoted, or commercial arrangements.

Where appropriate, such content will be identified using labels such as Featured, Sponsored, Promoted, or similar wording.

Payment for increased visibility does not constitute technical certification, professional approval, or endorsement by Onshore Wind Experts.

The order in which listings or search results appear may depend on multiple factors, which may include relevance, completeness, specialization, location, Website functionality, sponsorship, or other criteria.

Prohibited Use

You must not use the Website to:

• violate applicable law or the rights of another person or organization;
• impersonate another person or misrepresent your identity or affiliation;
• upload malicious software or interfere with Website security;
• attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, databases, or infrastructure;

• harvest personal data in violation of applicable law;
• reproduce or systematically extract Website content in violation of these Terms or applicable intellectual property rights;
• bypass technical measures designed to protect the Website or its content; or
• use automated systems in a manner prohibited by the Intellectual Property section below.

Reasonable indexing by conventional search engines and other automated access expressly authorized by Onshore Wind Experts is not prohibited by this section.

We may restrict access where reasonably necessary to protect the Website, its users, its content, or our legitimate interests.

This Privacy Policy explains how personal data may be collected, used, disclosed, stored, and protected when you interact with Onshore Wind Experts.

Where professional information is obtained from public sources rather than directly from the individual concerned, we process and use that information only where we believe there is an appropriate lawful basis and subject to applicable data-protection requirements.

Where required, we will provide additional information concerning the source and processing of such data.

Public Profile Information

Information published as part of a public professional or company profile is intended to be publicly accessible.

This information may be viewed by an unrestricted number of Website visitors and may be indexed, cached, or otherwise processed by external search engines and other third parties outside our control.

Removal of information from Onshore Wind Experts does not necessarily result in its immediate removal from third-party search engines, caches, archives, or websites.

Users should therefore carefully consider which information they choose to make public.

How We Use Personal Data

We may process personal data to:

• create and administer accounts;
• create, publish, maintain, and update professional and company profiles;

Legal Bases for Processing

Where the General Data Protection Regulation (“GDPR”), UK GDPR, or another law requiring a legal basis applies, we rely on one or more appropriate legal bases depending on the circumstances.

Where we rely on legitimate interests, we consider the relevant interests, necessity of the processing, and potential effect on individuals' rights and freedoms.

Non-essential electronic marketing communications will include an appropriate way to unsubscribe or object to further communications.

Where applicable law requires consent before a particular communication is sent, we will obtain the required consent.

You may object to direct marketing at any time.

Service Providers and Other Recipients

We do not disclose personal data indiscriminately.

We may disclose personal data where reasonably necessary to:

• analytics providers;
• security and anti-abuse providers;
• customer support providers;
• payment processors;

• other service providers necessary to operate or improve the Website.

These providers may process data on our behalf or, in some circumstances, as independent controllers under their own legal obligations.

We may also disclose information:

• when required by applicable law or a valid legal process;
• to investigate or prevent fraud, abuse, security threats, or unlawful activity;
• to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims;
• to protect the rights or safety of Onshore Wind Experts, its users, or others;
• where you request or authorize the disclosure; or
• in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing, restructuring, sale of assets, or transfer of all or part of the business, subject to appropriate safeguards.

Public profile information is, by its nature, disclosed publicly.

International Data Transfers

Onshore Wind Experts is an international Website, and our users, infrastructure, and service providers may be located in different countries.

As a result, personal data may be processed outside the country in which it was originally collected.

Where applicable data-protection law requires safeguards for an international transfer, we use an appropriate legally recognized mechanism where required, which may include:

• an adequacy decision;
• standard contractual clauses;
• contractual safeguards;
• another legally recognized transfer mechanism; or
• an applicable statutory exception.

Users may contact us for additional information about safeguards applicable to their personal data.

Data Retention

We retain personal data for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes for which it was collected and for legitimate operational, legal, accounting, security, and dispute-resolution purposes.

The appropriate retention period depends on factors including:

• the nature of the information;
• whether an account or profile remains active;
• the purpose of the processing;
• applicable limitation periods;
• legal or regulatory requirements;
• security and fraud-prevention needs; and
• whether information is required to establish or defend legal claims.

Information associated with public profiles may normally be retained while the relevant profile or listing remains active.

Certain records may be retained after account deletion where necessary for legal compliance, fraud prevention, security, accounting, dispute resolution, or enforcement of agreements.

Backup copies may persist for a limited period before being overwritten or deleted according to our backup processes.

Data Security

We use reasonable technical and organizational measures designed to protect personal data against unauthorized access, loss, misuse, alteration, or disclosure.

However, no Internet-based system or method of electronic storage can guarantee absolute security.

Users are also responsible for protecting their account credentials and should notify us if they believe their account or information has been compromised.

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location and applicable law, you may have rights concerning your personal data, including the right to:

• request access to personal data we hold about you;
• request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information;
• request deletion of personal data in certain circumstances;
• request restriction of certain processing;
• object to processing based on legitimate interests;
• object at any time to processing for direct marketing;
• request portability of certain information;
• withdraw consent where processing is based on consent; and
• lodge a complaint with an applicable data-protection supervisory authority.

These rights are not absolute and may be subject to conditions, exceptions, or limitations under applicable law.

Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before consent was withdrawn.

To exercise a privacy right, please use our contact form and provide enough information for us to identify the relevant data and respond to the request.

We may request reasonable information to verify identity before fulfilling certain requests.

Where personal data appears in a public profile, users may also be able to update or remove certain information directly through their account.

Children

Onshore Wind Experts is a professional industry platform and is not intended for use by children.

We do not knowingly seek to collect personal data from children through professional profiles or commercial services.

If you believe that personal data relating to a child has been submitted to the Website inappropriately, please contact us.

Cookies and Analytics

What Are Cookies?

Cookies and similar technologies are small files or identifiers that may be stored or accessed on a user's device when visiting a website.

They can be used for purposes such as maintaining Website functionality, remembering preferences, measuring performance, understanding Website usage, and improving services.

Essential Cookies

Some cookies or similar technologies may be necessary for Website operation, security, authentication, account management, user preferences, or other functionality requested by the user.

Where permitted by applicable law, these technologies may be used without consent where they are strictly necessary to provide the relevant service.

Analytics

We may use analytics services, including Google Analytics, to understand how visitors interact with the Website and to improve its content, functionality, performance, and user experience.

Depending on configuration, analytics services may process information such as:

• pages visited;
• interactions with the Website;
• device and browser information;
• approximate location derived from technical information;
• referring websites;
• timestamps;
• IP address or information derived from it; and

Where applicable law requires consent before analytics cookies or similar technologies are used, those technologies will be activated only after the required consent has been obtained.

Analytics information is retained according to the settings and retention periods applicable to the relevant service and our operational requirements.

We do not represent that analytics information is automatically anonymous merely because it is used for statistical purposes.

Cookie Preferences

Where a cookie consent or preference tool is provided, users can use it to accept, reject, or manage categories of non-essential cookies.

Users may also control cookies through their browser settings.

Rejecting or disabling non-essential cookies should not prevent access to the general Website, although disabling certain necessary technologies may affect functionality that depends on them.

Consent to optional cookies may be withdrawn where applicable through the Website's cookie preference controls.
