- Register products after they are installed into vehicle(s) of end-user
- Acquire documentation about these products
Your account
The account used for logging in to the app is the same account as the one used for logging in to the Webasto Dealer Portal. The dealer portal has its own privacy policy. This app is meant to be an extension of this Dealer Portal and therefore uses this system as back-end.
Your account is personal. If your account is inactive for 18 consecutive months, the account will be deactivated and your personal data will be anonymized. If you have any questions or if you want us to actively deactivate your account, you can contact us at dealerportal -at- webasto.com. Please replace '-at-' with '@' when composing the e-mail.
If you want to make any changes to your personal account, you can only do that in the Dealer Portal. For this Dealer Portal service we will use your personal data for authentication and optionally to provide you with up to date, personalized content and notifications. You can manage these settings in your Dealer Portal account. (Edit Account after login).
Log data
In case of an error or problem while using the app, we collect data and information (through developer QBus ICT B.V.) from your phone called Log Data. This Log Data may include information such as your device Internet Protocol (“IP”) address, device name, operating system version, the configuration of the app during usage, the time and date set up on the device and other statistics.

Security
We value your trust in providing us your personal information, thus we are striving to save all data in a secure manner.

Which data is being collected when using the app and for which purpose?
In the app, only your login and –logout token is being logged locally on your device. We do this so you can start the app immediately after logging in for the first time. A connection with the Dealer Portal will be made during the login process to verify if your local credentials are still correct. If that’s not the case, the login prompt will appear again in the app and you will have to re-enter your login credentials.
Next to the login information, data is collected about the devices you use if you register these in the app. This allows us to personalize the app content for you.
I have technical questions about the app
You can send an e-mail to app.support -at- webasto.com and we will answer you as soon as possible. Please mention the type of device which is being used. Please replace '-at-' with '@' when composing the e-mail.
