We, i.e. Münzinger + Frieser Holding GmbH, provide a whistleblower system for reporting violations . In doing so, we are implementing the legal requirements of the HinSchG. We are also obliged to fulfill our compliance requirements, to avoid violations and to resolve them quickly. Confidential handling of information is assured.
We have set up a portal for reporting, which is available at
https://muenzinger.hinweise-portal.de
can be reached. However, a report can also be made by telephone or e‑mail to our data protection officer. Our whistleblower system can be used not only by employees of Münzinger + Frieser Holding GmbH, but also by external parties, to inform us of possible violations.
When using our whistleblowing system, personal data may be processed if the report is not anonymized. This is governed by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG).
We process the voluntary information provided by whistleblowers – employees or external parties – when making a report. This includes the following data:
- First name and surname (if identity is disclosed)
- Contact details (if these are provided)
- Reporting a possible breach of the rules
- Indication of the relationship with Münzinger + Frieser Holding GmbH (internal or external)
- Description of the facts
- Names and other personal data of persons involved
The data collection and data processing, if provided, are necessary for the clarification of any violations of the law or regulations. The legal basis for this is our legitimate economic interest in clarifying violations and thus averting damage or liability risks for Münzinger + Frieser Holding GmbH. The corresponding legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. In connection with an employment relationship, data processing may also be based on Section 26 para. 1 BDSG, insofar as it serves the investigation of criminal offenses.
The (voluntary) information provided will be used in particular to verify and document the report and for further investigations. We ensure that only those persons receive your data who need it to process the information submitted. Our data protection officer will carry out a preliminary check. The data may be passed on to state authorities, e.g. the police, public prosecutor’s office or courts. (IT) service providers support us in the fulfillment of our tasks. We have selected these carefully. Data processing agreements have been concluded with all service providers.
We expressly point out that we may be obliged to inform accused persons about allegations or investigations. The identity of the whistleblower will not be disclosed, insofar as this is legally possible. Accused persons are not informed if this could make it more difficult to clarify a violation.
Personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its processing and no legal requirements restrict deletion.
Data subjects, i.e. whistleblowers in this context, have the right to object to the use of their data at any time if we process it on the basis of a legitimate interest. In addition, data subjects are entitled to request information about the data we have stored about them. Correction may be requested in the event of inaccuracy. You can also request the deletion of the data stored by us, provided that there are no legal provisions to the contrary. In certain cases, it is possible for us to restrict processing on request.
Data subjects can contact us at any time with questions about data protection, either by e‑mail at info@planer-systemtechnik.com or by post to the address given above. Our data protection officer can be contacted using the contact details given above.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority. This is the State Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information of Baden-Württemberg.
