Showa processes personal data you have provided to us, personal data generated during your visit to our website and personal data we have obtained from other sources such as the Social Media platforms linked to our website:
Personal data provided by you: contact details and other personal data, including but not limited to, names, ages, gender, addresses, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses, provided through contact forms or other web forms. You can use most services offered through the website without providing your personal information.
Personal data obtained through or generated on our website: IP address, your browsing behaviour on the website such as information on your first visit, previous visit and current visit, the visited pages and the manner in which you navigate on the website.
Other personal data: our services are dynamic and we often introduce new features, which may require the collection of new information. If we collect materially different personal data or materially change how we use your data, we will notify you and may also modify this Privacy Notice.

Our website contains hyperlinks to websites of other parties and social media buttons. This privacy notice does not cover the links within this site linking to other websites. If you use a link from the website to a third party website, Showa is not responsible for the content of those websites or the services of these social media platforms. Nor is Showa responsible for the privacy policy and the use of cookies on those websites and social media platforms. We encourage you to read the privacy notices on the other websites you visit.

We use your personal data for various purposes:
Informing you of services. We use the date to inform you of SHOWA's products and services by sending postal mails and e-mails to you and implement various campaigns.
Deliver services. We use the data to deliver products to buyers.
Customer support. We use the data (which can include your communications) needed to investigate, respond to and resolve demands, inquiries and complaints and service issues (e.g., bugs).
Conduct tests and surveys. We use the data to conduct questionnaire surveys and product monitoring tests.
Improving and securing our website (chemrest.com). We use the data that we have about you to provide, support and make our services more relevant and useful to you and others.
Preparing and analysing user statistics. We use the data to produce aggregate insights that do not identify you. For example, we may use your data to generate statistics about our users, the demographic distribution of visitors to our site.
Security and Investigations. We use your data if we think it’s necessary for security purposes or to investigate possible fraud or other violations of this Privacy Notice and/or attempts to harm our visitors.

The main legal grounds used by Showa are:
1. Consent: you will always have the right to withdraw any consent given to process personal data. Withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing before the withdrawal;
2. (Conclusion of) an agreement: we will process your personal data if and to the extent necessary to enter into or for the performance of a contract;
3. A legal obligation;
4. Your vital interests: in order to protect these, should the need arise; and/or
5. A legitimate interest: we may also process your personal data, if we have a legitimate interest and do not disproportionately infringe on your privacy.

Your personal data will not be kept longer than necessary and will be deleted as soon as reasonably possible in view of the purposes for processing your personal data (see par. 5) or where we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).

When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal data has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal data and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

If you have questions about, or need further information concerning, our data retention periods, please contact our customer center

We sometimes need to share your personal data with third parties:
Service providers. We may use service providers (processors) to help us provide our services (e.g., maintenance, analysis, audit, payments, fraud detection, marketing and development). They will have access to your information as reasonably necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated to not to disclose or use it for other purposes. The processors may solely process your personal data based on our instructions. For example, we work with IT service providers that provide support to the safe and stable operation of our systems. If we engage a third party to handle personal information, we shall perform a thorough background check on such third party and exercise proper supervision over such third party to ensure the safe management of personal information. We will conclude a processor agreement with processors which meet the requirements laid down in the GDPR.
Legal disclosures. We may need to share your data when we believe it’s required by law or to protect your and our rights and security. It is possible that we will need to disclose information about you when required by law, subpoena, or other legal process or if we have a good faith belief that disclosure is reasonably necessary. We attempt to notify visitors about legal demands for their personal data when appropriate in our judgment, unless prohibited by law or court order or when the request is an emergency. We may dispute such demands when we believe, in our discretion, that the requests are overbroad, vague or lack proper authority.
Change in control or sale. We can also share your personal data as part of a sale, merger or change in control, or in preparation for any of these events. Any other entity which buys us or part of our business will have the right to continue to use your data, but only for the purposes and in the manner set out in this Privacy Notice unless you agree otherwise.
Commercial use. Your personal data will not be shared with third parties for commercial purposes.

We may need to transfer your personal data to parties located outside of the European Economic Area (EEA). We shall only transfer personal data to parties outside the EEA if an adequate level of protection of the personal data is ensured or if specific safeguards are in place (for example by making use of EU standard contractual (data protection) clauses) or if a legal derogation or exemption applies.

In accordance with the GDPR and applicable legislation and depending on the circumstances, you have rights with respect to:
Information, access and rectification of your personal data: you have the right to receive information about the type and contents of the personal data that is stored or processed by Showa or by third parties and to request the correction of and/or change to any incorrect or incomplete personal data that is held;
