2. Provision of the website
When using the website for informational purposes only, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise transmit information to us (e.g. via a contact form), we collect the following technical information (log file data):
- Operating system of the device you use to visit our website
- Browser (type, version & language settings)
- the amount of data retrieved
- the current IP address of the device you use to visit our website
- Date and time of access
- the URL of the previously visited website (referrer)
- the URL of the (sub)page you access on the website

The collection of this data is technically necessary to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. We (and our service provider) are usually not aware of who is behind an IP address. We do not combine the above data with other data.
The legal basis for the storage of the data/log files is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR.
The storage in log files ensures the proper functioning of the website and also serves to improve and secure our systems. A further evaluation of this data (e.g. for marketing purposes) does not take place in this context. The data stored by NGK EUROPE GmbH will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case after six weeks at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.
3. Application procedure
For applications, we use the services of our partner, rexx systems GmbH, Süderstraße 75-79, 20097 Hamburg. rexx systems processes the application data on behalf of NGK EUROPE GmbH.

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data in the context of the application process is § 26 BDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a), b) and f) GDPR. If no contract is concluded, your personal data will be deleted after 6 months after completion of the application process, unless you have given us explicit consent for your data to be stored for a longer period of time.

The processing is carried out exclusivelyon the basis of your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, which you give separately. Consent is voluntary and can be revoked at any time with effect forthe future.
5. Cookies
This website uses so-called "cookies", which serve to make the website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. We would like to point out that some of these cookies are transferred from our server to your computer system, which are usually so-called "session cookies". "Session cookies" are characterized by the fact that they are automatically deleted from your hard drive at the end of the browser session. Other cookies remain on your computer system and enable us to recognize your computer system on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). When accessing the website, the user is informed about the use of cookies and their consent to the processing of the personal data used is obtained. No personal data is stored in the cookies used.

If you have given us your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR. Insofar as the data processing is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest.

6. Job Alert
You can subscribe to a Job Alert on our website to inform you of new job openings. The legal basis for sending the Job Alert is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. To register for our Job Alert, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after you have registered, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted after 3 days.
The only mandatory information for sending the Job Alert is your e-mail address. The provision of further data is voluntary: this data is used to be able to address you personally. After your confirmation, we will store your e-mail address for the purpose of sending the Job Alert and until revoked. We also store your current IP address at the time of registration, the time of registration and the confirmation for up to three years after registration (limitation period). The purpose of this procedure is to be able to prove your registration in case of doubt and, if necessary, to clarify any misuse of your personal data. The legal basis for the logging of the registration is our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR in proving a previously given consent, see also Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR.
You can revoke your consent to the sending of the Job Alert at any time and unsubscribe from the Job Alert. You can declare the revocation by clicking on the link provided in each Job Alert e-mail or by e-mail to recruiting@ngk-e.de.
7. Processing of rump data after completion of the application process
After completion of the application process, we retain certain so-called rump data (e.g. name, year of birth and advertised position) for a limited period of time – regardless of the success of the application. This is done exclusively for internal documentation and traceability of selection processes.
The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). We protect your interests and fundamental rights in particular by not storing complete applicant documents, but only a greatly reduced data set. This data will not be processed or passed on beyond this. The deletion takes place after 12 months at the latest.
You have the right to object to this processing at any time with effect for the future on grounds relating to your particular situation.
8. Disclosure of personal data/recipients
As a matter of principle, your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so, or the data transfer is necessary for the performance of the contractual relationship or you have previously expressly consented to the disclosure of your data.
Your data will only be passed on to affiliated companies and service partners if they work on our behalf and support NGK EUROPE GmbH in the provision of their services. For the purpose of managing the application process, we use the applicant management system provided by rexx systems GmbH, Süderstraße 75–79, 20097 Hamburg. Your personal data is processed by commissioned service providers within the framework of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The aforementioned service providers will only have access to such personal information as is necessary to perform their respective activities. These service providers are prohibited from sharing your personal information or using it for any other purpose, including but not limited to their own advertising purposes. To the extent that external service providers come into contact with your personal data, we have taken legal, technical and organisational measures as well as regular checks to ensure that they also comply with the applicable data protection regulations. Your personal data will not be passed on commercially to other companies.
We attach great importance to processing your data within the EU/EEA. However, it may happen that we use service providers who process data outside the EU / EEA. In these cases, we ensure that an adequate level of data protection comparable to the standards within the EU is established at the recipient before the transfer of your personal data. This can be achieved, for example, through EU standard contracts or binding corporate rules or special agreements to which the company can submit.
