Privacy Policy for Users from the USA and Canada

This supplemental privacy policy is intended for users and customers located in the United States (especially California) and Canada.

Although Montech AG is currently not fully subject to California or Canadian data protection laws, we aim to provide you with maximum transparency.

California Consumer Rights (CCPA/CPRA)

Even though we are not currently directly subject to the law, we would like to inform you about your potential rights under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and the California Privacy Rights Act (CPRA).

California consumers have the following rights, among others:

• The right to know which personal data has been collected and for what purpose (Right to Know)
• The right to correct inaccurate data (Right to Correct)
• The right to request deletion of personal data (Right to Delete)
• The right to object to the use of personal data
• The right to data portability
• The right not to be discriminated against for exercising your privacy rights (Non-Discrimination)

If you would like to make such a request, please contact us using the information provided in the “Contact” section.

If you would like to authorize someone to exercise your rights on your behalf (“Authorized Agent”), we may require appropriate written authorization.

Note on Cookies for California Users

Our website uses cookies to enhance user experience and analyze user behavior.

If you are located in California and do not want your data (e.g., IP address, clickstream data) to be analyzed or used for advertising purposes, you may refuse consent via our cookie banner or withdraw it at any time.

4. International Data Transfers within the Montech Group

As part of our global business activities, it may be necessary to transfer personal data collected via our website or services within the Montech Group – especially to our branch in the United States.

These data transfers occur solely for the purposes described in this privacy policy, such as technical support, analytics and marketing, or customer service. We ensure that the processing of personal data by our US branch complies with strict contractual, technical, and organizational safeguards.

If certification under the Swiss–U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF) is not in place, the transfer is based on Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, supplemented with additional technical and organizational safeguards.

If you have any questions about cross-border data processing within the Montech Group, you can contact our Data Protection Officer at any time (see section “G. Contact”).

Contact Form and Marketing Communication

When you contact us through the contact form on our website, we collect the personal information you provide (such as your name, email address, and the content of your message) for two purposes:

1. To process and respond to your inquiry.

2. To send you marketing communications about our products and services (for example, by email).

By checking the consent box in the contact form, you authorize Montech to use your information for these purposes. You may opt out of receiving marketing communications at any time by clicking the unsubscribe link included in our emails or by contacting us using the details provided in the “Contact for Inquiries” section of this Privacy Policy.

We retain inquiry data for up to 6 months after resolution, unless a longer retention period is required by law or a contractual relationship arises. Information that we use for marketing will be stored until you opt out or request deletion.

We do not sell personal information. Depending on your state or province of residence (e.g., California under the CCPA/CPRA, Canada under PIPEDA), you may have additional rights, such as the right to know, correct, delete, or restrict the use of your personal information. For more information, please see the sections “California Consumer Rights (CCPA/CPRA)” and “Canadian Users (PIPEDA).”
