Information obligations for whistleblowers

The protection of your personal data is of particular concern to us. We therefore process your personal data ("data" for short) exclusively on the basis of the statutory provisions. With this privacy policy, we wish to inform you comprehensively about the processing of your data in our company and the data protection claims and rights to which you are entitled in accordance with Articles 13 and 14 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR).

2. which data is processed and from which sources does this data originate?

•    Categories of affected persons:

o    Employees (this includes all employees who may be the subject of the submitted notification)
o    Suppliers
o    Business partner

•    Categories of personal data (potentially all types of personal data can be the content of a notification):

o    Surname, first name
o    Telephone number
o    E-mail address
o    Video or image recordings
o    Health data

3. for what purposes and on what legal basis is the data processed?

•    To fulfil a legal obligation, data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR in conjunction with § 17 para. 1 no. 6 and § 18 HinSchG


4 Who receives my data?

If we use a service provider in the sense of order processing, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process it only within the scope of providing the service. The processors commissioned by us will receive your data if they require the data to fulfil their respective service. These are, for example, IT service providers that we require for the operation and security of our IT system.

5 How long will my data be stored?

In accordance with Section 11 (5) HinSchG, the documentation of a notification under the HinSchG is deleted three years after the procedure has been completed. However, it may be kept for longer in order to fulfil the requirements of the HinSchG or other legal provisions as long as this is necessary and proportionate. The prohibition of reprisals against the whistleblower under Section 36 (1) HinSchG does not provide a reason to keep a report for longer than three years.
 
6. is personal data transferred to a third country?

The transfer of personal data to an EU third country is of course permitted. We have no plans to transfer data outside the EU or the EEA. Within the scope of the contractual relationship - in particular in the event of a claim and for the assertion, exercise and defence of any legal claims - it is necessary for us to transfer your personal data to recipients in third countries to the extent necessary. These are countries outside the EU or the EEA. In all other cases, data is transferred on the basis of an adequacy decision (Art. 45 GDPR), suitable guarantees (such as standard data protection clauses) within the meaning of Art. 46 GDPR or binding internal data protection regulations (Binding Corporate Rules of a group of companies). In any case, insurers may transfer personal data to recipients in third countries in individual cases in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR. This is done in particular for the fulfilment of the respective insurance contract (lit. b) or for the assertion or defence of legal claims (lit. e).


7 What data protection rights do I have?

You have the right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your stored data, a right to object to the processing as well as a right to data portability and to lodge a complaint in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

Right to access:
You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data.

Right to rectification:
If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we correct or complete it at any time.

Right to erasure:
You can demand that we erase your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate protection interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate erasure, e.g. in the case of statutory retention obligations.
Irrespective of the exercise of your right to erasure, we will erase your data immediately and completely, provided that there is no legal or statutory retention obligation to the contrary.
Right to restriction of processing:

You can request that we restrict the processing of your data if
    -you contest the accuracy of the data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the data.
-The     processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse to have it erased and instead request that the use of the data be restricted,
-we     no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data for the assertion or defence of legal claims, or
    -you have objected to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability:
You may request that we provide you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and that you may transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that
-we     process this data on the basis of a consent given and revocable by you or for the fulfilment of a contract between us, and
-this     processing is carried out using automated procedures.
If technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your data directly to another controller.

Right of objection:
If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.

Right of appeal:
If you are of the opinion that we are violating German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us so that we can clarify any questions you may have. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for you, the respective state office for data protection supervision.
If you wish to assert one of these rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

8. am I obliged to provide data?

The processing of your data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of the contract you have entered into with us. If you do not provide us with this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or will no longer be able to fulfil an existing contract and will therefore have to terminate it. However, you are not obliged to give your consent to data processing with regard to data that is not relevant or legally required for the fulfilment of the contract.
