• You request information in order to explore the ways our services can be used, other than through the contact form,

Before we use personal data that we have not received directly from you (other than for storage), we will provide you with this Privacy Policy as soon as possible and request your permission to use your personal data.

(c) for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.

(a) you dispute the accuracy of data (and only as long as it takes to verify the accuracy);
(b) the processing is unlawful and you request the introduction of a limitation (as opposed to exercising the right to delete data);
(c) we no longer need the personal data for processing, but you require personal data for establishing, exercising or defending legal claims; or
(d) you have objected to the processing, pending the verification of that objection.
4.9. Besides our right to store your personal information, we can still process it in other ways, but only:

(a) the execution of a task for public interest or for exercising the public authority assigned to us;
(b) legitimate interests that are pursued by us or a third party.

ShowTex is proud of how our colleagues take responsibility for creating a welcoming and fair work environment. Our culture ensures that we are always respectful towards other team members, customers and everyone we work with. This helps us maintain our excellent reputation and avoid legal issues.
As part of this, we give employees the possibility to report illegal conduct or harmful activities they observe in the workplace. To ensure a confidential report, we have introduced a Reporting Channel for Whistleblowers. Concretely, you can report an issue by sending an e-mail to etics [at] showtex.com.
Report an issue from your computer, tablet or smartphone. Our specialised team will investigate and handle it. No one else needs to know that you have reported an issue.
This means that we can immediately stop illegal activities before they get out of hand.
We can all work together to stop misconduct, making the work environment better for everyone. The issues you report may relate to:
If you have any questions about reporting issues, your rights, how the investigation works or any other related topic, please contact the HR department.
