Privacy Policy
This Privacy Policy explains how Qingdao Hitech New Energy Co., Ltd. uses the public name Hitech and handles information through hitech-china.com when you browse the site, contact Hitech, request information or a quotation, subscribe to site updates, post a comment, or use an interactive feature.
Information you choose to provide
The site provides forms through which you may submit information. Depending on the form, this may include your name, company, country code, phone or WhatsApp number, email address, subject, and message. The newsletter form asks for an email address.
If you post a comment on an article, the comment form asks for your comment, name and email address and may also accept a website address. It also offers a browser-cookie choice for remembering comment details.
If you contact Hitech by email, phone or WhatsApp, Hitech receives the information you choose to include in that communication.
Information processed when you use the site
When your browser requests a page or uses a site feature, the site and its configured services can receive technical and interaction information. Depending on the service and your consent choice, this can include an IP address, browser or device information, requested pages, interaction or event information, security signals, and cookie-consent preferences.
The site's use of cookies and related services is described in the Cookie Policy.
How Hitech uses information
Hitech uses information received through the site to:
- respond to enquiries and quotation or technical-support requests;
- communicate about the request or business relationship;
- send site updates when a visitor chooses to subscribe;
- receive and moderate article comments;
- operate, maintain and protect the site and its forms;
- remember cookie and language choices and provide embedded features;
- understand site use and improve site content and usability; and
- measure enquiries and advertising activity when the relevant service is enabled under the site's consent controls.
Form handling and conversion measurement
Form submissions can be sent to Hitech's configured mailbox. Some enquiry submissions can also be stored in the site's WordPress administration database.
The public site contains a Google tag configuration that can use an email address entered in a form as conversion user data when the Google tag is enabled. This supports conversion measurement. The site's current consent controls are intended to keep Google Tag requests disabled in no-consent and Reject-All states.
Services used by the site
Hitech uses service providers to operate and support site features. Current site evidence includes:
- Elementor and WordPress for page, form and comment functions;
- website hosting and email delivery services for site operation and form-message delivery;
- CookieYes for cookie-consent controls and preference storage;
- Google Analytics and Google Ads for analytics and conversion measurement when enabled;
- Hotjar for site-interaction analytics when enabled;
- Google reCAPTCHA for form protection;
- Google Maps for the map shown on the Contact page;
- GTranslate for language-selection features;
- YouTube when a page uses embedded video; and
- WhatsApp when a visitor chooses the external click-to-chat control.
These providers can process information under their own privacy terms when their service is loaded or used. A conditional service is not necessarily active on every page or every visit.
Retention
Retention periods depend on the type of information and the purpose for which it is used. Enquiry, subscription, comment and technical records may be retained for the period reasonably needed to handle the relevant communication, maintain related business records, or operate and protect the site. This policy does not state a fixed retention period for these categories.
Your choices and requests
The CookieYes consent panel lets you reject or manage available non-essential cookie categories and revisit your preferences. Necessary site functions remain active. Browser controls can also be used to block or delete cookies, although this may affect site functions.
You may contact Hitech to ask about personal information you provided through the site, request a correction or deletion, or ask Hitech to stop sending subscription updates. Hitech will review the request based on the information and context available.
Security
The site uses HTTPS and Google reCAPTCHA as current technical safeguards for data transmission and form protection. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
External links and services
The site may link to or embed services operated by other organizations. Their privacy practices are governed by their own notices. Choosing WhatsApp or another external service takes you to that provider's service.
Changes to this policy
If this Privacy Policy changes, the revised text will be posted on this page. No policy date is stated unless an approved date is supplied.
