If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event that we have further questions.  Please note that, depending on the nature of your request, we may share your information, and inquiry, with an affiliated rose plastic entity who is better suited to respond appropriately to your inquiry.  Except as expressly set forth immediately above, we will not share this information without your consent.  
You have the right to revoke at any time any consent you have previously given to us. To do so, all you are required to do is to send us notice of your revocation via e-mail; provided such notice of revocation includes information needed by us to identify the consent being revoked, and the personal data to which it relates. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being archived no longer exists (e.g. after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods.

b.    Newsletter
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we will need from you an e-mail address as well as information that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and consent to the receipt of the newsletter. No further data shall be collected or shall be collected only on a voluntary basis. We shall use such data only for the sending of the requested information and shall not share such data with any third parties.
The processing of the information entered into the newsletter subscription form shall occur on the basis of your consent. You may revoke the consent you have given to the archiving of data, the e-mail address and the use of this information for the sending of the newsletter at any time, for instance by clicking on the "Unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place to date.
The data you archive with us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription shall be archived by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription to the newsletter, the data shall be deleted. This shall not affect data we have been archiving for other purposes.

Newsletter software MailChimp
This website uses the services of MailChimp to send out its newsletters. The provider is the Rocket Science Group LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA. Among other things, MailChimp is a service that can be deployed to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. Whenever you enter data for the purpose of subscribing to a newsletter (e.g. your e-mail address), the information is stored on MailChimp servers in the United States.
With the assistance of the MailChimp tool, we can analyze the performance of our newsletter campaigns. If you open an e-mail that has been sent through the MailChimp tool, a file that has been integrated into the e-mail (a so-called web-beacon) connects to MailChimp’s servers in the United States. As a result, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links the recipient possibly clicked on. Technical information is also recorded at that time (e.g. the time of access, the IP address, type of browser and operating system). This information cannot be allocated to the respective newsletter recipient. Their sole purpose is the performance of statistical analyses of newsletter campaigns. The results of such analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters to the interests of their recipients more effectively.
If you do not want to permit an analysis by MailChimp, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a link for you to do this in every newsletter message. 


The data is processed based on your consent.  You may revoke any consent you have given at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data processing transactions that have taken place prior to your revocation.
The data you archive with us for the purpose of the newsletter subscription shall be archived by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. Once you cancel your subscription to the newsletter, the data shall be deleted from our servers as well as those of MailChimp. This shall not affect data we have been archiving for other purposes.
For more details, please consult the data privacy policies of MailChimp at: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/.

c.    Job Application process
For Site visitors who choose to apply for jobs through the jobs portal on our Site, we collect and process job applicants’ personal data for the purpose of processing the job application. This will be the case, for example, if you apply for a position at our company by completing our online application forms and provide us with your personal application documents accordingly, or if you send your application to us via e-mail.

Storage of applicants’ data is for the purpose of managing the job application process, and any resulting employment relationship.
If you become an employee with us, we will store the data sent to us for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in accordance with legal regulations.

Deletion of data belonging to unsuccessful applicants
If, on the other hand, no employment relationship between you and us comes into being, we will keep your application documents for a period of six months after notifying you that your application was unsuccessful and will then delete them, unless you wish to be included in our pool of applicants and provided that there are no other overriding legitimate legal or business interests preventing their deletion.
