Privacy policy

The controller for the personal data collected through this website is:

N-Essential helps business clients find suitable production partners and production capacity through its network of steel and metal manufacturers.

When you contact us, submit a project enquiry or register for FlexCapacity, we may process data including:

• name and company name;
• your role;
• business email address;
• phone number;
• information about your enquiry or project;
• type of work or production task;
• technical requirements;
• required volumes and frequency;
• drawings, documents and other information you provide to us;
• correspondence between you and N-Essential.

We do not ask for special categories of personal data through the website.

When you contact us or submit a project enquiry, we use your data to:

• assess your enquiry;
• communicate with you;
• select suitable production partners;
• assess prices, production options and available capacity;
• prepare a quotation or proposal;
• should you decide to proceed, prepare the business relationship and perform the order.

Depending on the situation, this processing takes place because it is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract, or on the basis of N-Essential's legitimate interest in handling enquiries from business contacts.

When you register your company for FlexCapacity, we use the information you provide to assess your company's production needs and technical requirements.

This information may be used to assess in advance which manufacturers and production capacity in our network may meet your needs.

Registration is without obligation and does not automatically lead to a contract or an order.

Where this involves personal data of contact persons, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in managing our business network, selecting suitable production partners and handling future business enquiries efficiently.

Where necessary to assess your enquiry, we may share relevant project information with one or more selected production partners.

In doing so, we share personal data only to the extent necessary, for example for:

• technical assessment;
• assessment of production capacity;
• cost calculation;
• preparing a quotation;
• quality control;
• project execution;
• logistics coordination.

We do not sell your personal data.

Wherever possible, we share only the contact and project information needed for the enquiry in question.

For our operations we may use external service providers, among others in the following areas:

• website hosting;
• business email services;
• IT services and data storage;
• administration;
• legal or tax advice.

Where an external party processes personal data on behalf of N-Essential, we conclude a data processing agreement with that party where required.

We do not keep personal data longer than is necessary for the purpose of the processing.

As a general rule, we apply the following retention periods:

• Contact enquiries that do not lead to an order: no longer than 24 months after the last substantive contact.
• FlexCapacity registrations: for as long as the registration is relevant to possible business cooperation. We periodically review whether the data is still current and necessary.
• Project and client data: for the duration of the business relationship and thereafter for as long as necessary for administration, handling any claims and meeting legal obligations.

Where laws or regulations require a longer retention period, we apply that period.

You can ask us to delete your personal data at any time. We assess the request in line with the applicable privacy legislation.

N-Essential takes appropriate technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against loss, unauthorised access, unauthorised alteration or other unlawful processing.

The measures taken are matched to the nature of the data and the risks of the processing.

N-Essential is based in Hungary and works with business parties in the Netherlands and other European countries, among others.

Personal data may therefore be processed and shared within the European Economic Area where necessary for our services.

Where we process or have personal data processed outside the European Economic Area, we ensure an appropriate legal basis and appropriate safeguards where required.

N-Essential does not use marketing or advertising cookies and does not use tracking technologies to follow visitors for advertising purposes, unless expressly stated otherwise in future.

In the operation of the website and hosting service, technically necessary data may be processed that is required for the operation, security and availability of the website.

If analytics, marketing cookies or other non-essential tracking technologies are added in future, this privacy policy will be updated and, where legally required, consent will be requested in advance.

Under the applicable privacy legislation and depending on the circumstances, you have the right to:

• access your personal data;
• have inaccurate data corrected;
• have personal data deleted;
• have processing restricted;
• object to certain processing;
• have your data transferred where the right to data portability applies;
• lodge a complaint with a competent supervisory authority.

Where processing is based on consent, you can withdraw that consent. Withdrawing consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Would you like to exercise one of these rights? Contact us at info@n-essential.com.

We may ask you for additional information where necessary to verify your identity.

As N-Essential Kft. is based in Hungary, you can turn to the Hungarian data protection authority, among others:

You also have the right, where applicable, to lodge a complaint with another competent European supervisory authority.

N-Essential may amend this privacy policy when our services, website or legal obligations change.

The most recent version is always published on this website.
