The Whistleblower System is designed to guarantee whistleblowers the highest possible level and standard of data protection. The whistleblower system can be used anonymously without providing personal data, so that the anonymity of the whistleblower can be fully preserved when submitting a report.

The Whistleblower System provides for special encryption methods ensuring that only the respective whistleblower and our responsible compliance officers have access to the report(s) provided. Within our company, the data contained in the report will, hence, only be passed on to the relevant compliance officer, passing on to third parties (with the exception of any passing on to the competent authorities or courts and auditors for further tracking of the facts on which the report is based) does not take place. In particular, there is no possibility of access to data contained in the report by our processors.

Depending on the data you make available to us, we process the following personal data:

(i)          Identification data of the whistleblower and the accused (e.g. name, personnel number)

(ii)         (private) contact information of the whistleblower (e.g. address, e-mail address, telephone number)

(iii)       Position within the company

(iv)        Details of the facts and issue(s)

(v)         Communication with the compliance officer

(vi)       Details of follow-up actions (e.g. investigations)

(vii)      Technical secondary data (IP address of access to the Whistleblower System)

It is also possible to submit reports via our Whistleblower System without providing any information/data on your identity. In such case you remain anonymous.
