Information on the processing of personal data at Hightec MC AG


With this privacy policy, we inform you – in accordance with Art. 19 and 20 of the Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) of 25 September 2020 – about the processing of personal data by Hightec MC AG (hereinafter referred to as "we", "us" or "our"). This also includes the collection of personal data.


This privacy policy serves solely to inform you about the nature, scope and purpose of the use of personal data.


As a Swiss company, the Swiss Data Protection Act (FADP) applies primarily. To the extent that persons in the EU or the EEA are affected, the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) also applies.


By using our website or our services/products, you agree to the processing of your personal data in accordance with this privacy policy.


If you transmit personal data of other persons to us, please ensure that they have been informed of this privacy policy and that you are authorised to pass on their data.


If you do not agree with this privacy policy, please do not use our services/products.

Overall responsibility for data protection lies with Hightec MC AG.


Please submit data protection enquiries in writing to:


Hightec MC AG
Bornfeldstrasse 2d

4600 Olten

Switzerland


Email: info@hightec.ch


Unfortunately, telephone enquiries regarding data protection matters cannot be handled.


2. Processing of personal data in connection with services


If you obtain services or products from Hightec MC AG, the following personal data may be processed:


  • Salutation, surname and first name of the contact person

  • Company name and UID number

  • Billing and delivery address

  • Email address and telephone number

  • Ordered products and services

  • Information from quotations and orders


This data is processed primarily in order to carry out your orders and commissions correctly, ensure communication with you and issue invoices.


3. Processing of personal data in response to enquiries


3.1 General


Even if no direct contractual relationship is established, the principles of data processing apply (see Section 2).

3.2 Email correspondence


Email is not a secure means of communication. Sensitive data should ideally be transmitted in encrypted form. Anyone contacting us by email does so at their own risk. We assume that you agree to the use of email to respond to your enquiry.


3.3 Contact form


If you fill in the contact form on our website, we will use your details exclusively to process your enquiry and to answer any follow-up questions. The data will not be used for any other purpose and will not be passed on to third parties. The legal basis is Art. 31 FADP and Art. 6 para. 1(b) GDPR for persons in the EU.


3.4 Document requests


If you request documents such as design rules or company presentations via our form, your details will be used exclusively to process and deliver the requested documents.


4. Disclosure of data abroad


Personal data is generally processed and stored in Switzerland. As part of contract fulfilment, it may happen that data is transferred to recipients abroad, in particular in the EU. This only takes place insofar as this is necessary for the performance of the contract or you have consented. We ensure that an adequate level of data protection is guaranteed abroad, in particular through the conclusion of standard contractual clauses or transfer to countries with a recognised level of data protection.


5. Website, cookies & embedded services


This website is hosted on the Framer platform. For technical operation and display, we use exclusively integrated Framer functions:

  • Cookies: We primarily use technically necessary cookies. These are essential for the basic functions of the website (navigation, security) and cannot be disabled.

  • Google Font API: To ensure consistent font display, this website uses the Google Font API integrated by Framer. This technically involves a connection to Google servers.

  • Google Maps: We embed map material from Google Maps (via Framer integration) to display our location. In doing so, Google may process data (e.g. IP address).

  • Framer Analytics: For internal, anonymised analysis of website usage, we use Framer Analytics. No personal data is stored or passed on to third parties.

  • Cookie banner: Our banner offers options for categories such as "Marketing". As we currently do not use any marketing trackers or advertising cookies, your selection in these categories currently has no effect on data collection.

  • External links: When you click external links, you leave our area. We accept no responsibility for the data protection practices of external providers.


6. Retention periods


Personal data is retained only for as long as it is necessary for the purpose or there are legal obligations.

  • Business data: Subject to the statutory retention period of 10 years.

  • Enquiry data: In the absence of a subsequent contractual relationship, deletion takes place after a maximum of 2 years.

  • Framer Analytics: These anonymised data are automatically deleted after 90 days in accordance with Framer's system settings.


7. Rights of data subjects


In particular, you have the following rights:


  • Information about your personal data and the purpose of processing (Art. 25 FADP)

  • Correction, deletion or restriction of processing (Art. 32 FADP)

  • Objection to processing

  • Right to legal recourse before the supervisory authority (in Switzerland: FDPIC)

  • Right to disclosure/transfer of your data (Art. 28–29 FADP)

  • For persons in the EU: right to lodge a complaint with the competent national data protection authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR


To the extent permitted by law, we may refuse requests or continue to process data for legal reasons.
