WHISTLEBLOWER SYSTEM

We provide the opportunity on our website to report suspected compliance or legal violations. We use a whistleblowing system for this that is provided by EQS Group GmbH, Siebensterngasse 31/8, 1070 Vienna.

In principle, the whistleblowing system can be used without providing personal data, where legally permissible. However, you can voluntarily disclose personal data during the whistleblowing process, such as your identity, first and last name, country of residence, phone number or e-mail address.

We process your personal data to review the report you submitted through the whistleblowing system and to investigate the alleged compliance and legal violations. In doing so, we may have further questions for you. For this, we only use the whistleblowing system’s messaging platform (secure mailbox). Ensuring the confidentiality of the information you provide is our top priority.

The processing of your personal data is carried out based on the consent you provided when submitting a report through the whistleblower system (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

Furthermore, we process your personal data insofar as this is necessary to fulfill legal obligations. This includes, in particular, reports concerning matters of criminal law, competition law and labor law (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR).

Finally, the processing of your personal data is carried out where it is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of the company or a third party (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

If you provide us with special categories of personal data, we process these based on your consent (Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR).

The data subject has explicitly consented to the proposed transfer after having been informed of the potential risks to them of such data transfers due to the absence of an adequacy decision and appropriate safeguards.
