The whistleblower tool from the provider from Germany
When choosing the appropriate application, the fine print often determines the decision: Where are the data stored, who is liable, and which law applies in the event of an emergency? As a whistleblowing tool provider from Germany, we provide clear answers to these questions. The primary processing of personal data is carried out in the Open Telekom Cloud in Germany. The cloud infrastructure used is certified according to ISO 27001. Data transmission to third countries does not take place.
LegalTegrity also adheres to a clear focus on legal requirements: the whistleblower tool is aligned with the requirements of the Whistleblower Protection Act and is continuously developed by our compliance specialists. We evaluate relevant legal changes in the product and service process. The legal and organizational design of the internal reporting system remains tailored to the specific organization.
The difference is evident in everyday life. When you have questions, you can reach a personal contact in German and English via phone or email directly and without any unnecessary intermediaries. This way, especially medium-sized companies receive personal support instead of an anonymous standard solution.

Whistleblower tool and the Whistleblower Protection Act:
This applies to companies
Whether companies need to establish an internal reporting system depends primarily on the number of employees. The following points summarize what companies should consider in practice. We are happy to show you in a demo how a whistleblower tool can support the implementation of these requirements in practice.
- Who is required: Private employers with at least 50 employees must set up and operate an internal reporting system. The obligation applies to certain companies regardless of the number of employees.
- Free choice of implementation: The HinSchG does not require specific software. However, a digital whistleblower tool significantly simplifies operations, compliance with deadlines, and documentation.
- Deadlines: The receiving party must confirm the receipt of a notification no later than seven days after it was received. The response is generally provided within three months of the confirmation of receipt.
- Confidentiality: The identity of persons reporting information must be protected. Only the persons responsible and authorized for this purpose have access to the reports.
- Consequences: If a required internal reporting point is not established or whistleblowers are unfairly disadvantaged, fines may be imposed.

How is the anonymity in the whistleblower tool maintained?
When using the service anonymously, whistleblowers do not need to provide contact details. They receive a 12-digit case ID and set a personal PIN to check the status of the investigation and communicate securely with the reporting office. When uploading files, the software supports the removal of defined technical metadata. No IP addresses are stored in the whistleblower portal to identify whistleblowers. Please note: content, language, facts or uploaded documents may nevertheless allow conclusions to be drawn about individuals in individual cases.

How does the reporting via the Voicebot work?
The Voicebot guides callers through the reporting process verbally around the clock, in all available languages and along the categories and questionnaires that have been set up. After activation, it is immediately available on the reporting start page. The reports thus collected are then processed like all others in the system.
How does the whistleblower tool support reports in other languages?
An integrated translation function helps to overcome language barriers in case processing, so that reports can be processed regardless of the source language. The data transmitted for translation are deleted after the process is completed with the service provider.
