Privacy policy
This privacy policy explains which personal data we process in connection with our website, for what purpose and for how long. The Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) applies; where applicable, we also take the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) into account.
In short: our website uses no cookies, no tracking and no analytics or advertising services. We only receive personal data when you contact us via a form or by email.

Visiting the website
When you visit the website, our server processes technically necessary data such as IP address, time, page requested and browser details in order to deliver the pages and protect the website against misuse (e.g. limiting repeated form submissions). We do not use this data to identify individuals and do not store it permanently.
Fonts and all other parts of the website are delivered from our own server – no content is loaded from third parties.
Contact form and email
If you write to us via the contact form or by email, we process your details (name, company, email address, phone number, message) in order to answer your enquiry. The enquiry is stored in our content management system and we receive an email notification.
To protect against spam, the form solves a small computational task in your browser (ALTCHA). No cookies are set and no data is passed on to third parties.
We delete enquiries once they have been dealt with, unless statutory retention obligations apply.
Applications
We process applications submitted via our form (including CVs) solely for the recruitment process. Only the people responsible for HR have access; CVs cannot be accessed publicly.
We automatically delete applications and documents 90 days after the process is completed, and no later than 12 months after receipt. We only keep them longer, for example for future vacancies, with your consent.
Hosting and processors
We run the website and content management system on servers of Hetzner Online GmbH (Germany) in data centres within the EU. We use an email service provider to send notifications. Our service providers process data only on our behalf and according to our instructions. According to the Swiss Federal Council, EU countries ensure an adequate level of data protection.
External links
Our website contains links to third-party services, for example Google Maps for directions. Data is only transferred to the respective provider when you click such a link; its privacy policy then applies.
Your rights
You can request information about the personal data we hold about you at any time, and ask for it to be corrected, deleted or handed over, or object to its processing. You can withdraw any consent at any time. Please contact info@novotec.ch.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the Federal Data Protection and Information Commissioner (FDPIC); persons in the EU may also contact the data protection authority in their country.
Changes
We will update this privacy policy if our website or the legal situation changes. The version published here applies.
