Legal information on the use of the internal whistleblowing system
Landau + Kindelbacher Architekten Innenarchitekten GmbH has implemented an internal whistleblower system to detect and prevent violations of applicable law as well as company policies based on the EU Directive 2019/1937 on the protection of persons who report a violation of Union law.
As a matter of principle, reporting via the whistleblower system should only be the last of all possible communication channels. Priority should always be given to the direct route to the manager or the HR department, or for business partners and external whistleblowers, to the contact person in the company or the management. If this is not possible for valid reasons, the reporting system is another option for reporting violations or misconduct.
The reporting system was set up by CYBERLEGIS RA-GmbH for Landau + Kindelbacher Architekten Innenarchitekten GmbH and is also maintained by the law firm. All employees of the law firm are bound to professional secrecy and do not work according to instructions. Employees who are not bound to secrecy by professional law are contractually bound to secrecy.
This reporting system is available to employees, customers, suppliers and business partners. Reports can be made in writing or verbally:
Phone: +49 (0)89 2441760 74
E-mail: [email protected]
By mail: CYBERLEGIS RA-GmbH, Whistleblowing, Maximilianstraße 13, 80539 Munich, Germany
Landau + Kindelbacher Architekten Innenarchitekten GmbH has no access to these reports. In the first step, the reports are processed exclusively by CYBERLEGIS RA-GmbH.

Privacy policy of CYBERLEGIS in connection with whistleblowers
Data protection is a matter of trust. Your trust is a core value for CYBERLEGIS ("CYBERLEGIS" and/or "we" and/or "us"). This privacy policy ("Privacy Policy") is based on the EU General Data Protection Regulation ("GDPR") - even if the GDPR does not apply. This ensures a high level of protection for individuals whose personal data CYBERLEGIS processes in connection with whistleblowers and the use of CYBERLEGIS as an internal reporting office in accordance with the Whistleblower Protection Act. This privacy policy therefore applies to you as a whistleblower and your personal data.
We may change this privacy policy at any time. For your use of the CYBERLEGIS internal reporting system and your reports as a whistleblower, the version in effect at the time of your report will apply.

This applies in particular to information about your identity, such as your first and last name, country of residence, telephone number and e-mail address.
In principle, we do not request or process any special categories of personal data (so-called sensitive data or particularly sensitive personal data), such as information about your ancestry or ethnic origin, your religious and/or ideological beliefs, your membership in trade unions or your sexual orientation. However, you may voluntarily disclose such special categories of personal data when contacting us.
Your statement may also contain personal data of third parties to which you refer. The data subjects will be given the opportunity to comment on this information. In this case, we will inform the data subjects about the declaration. In doing so, however, we will ensure confidentiality, as the data subject will not receive any information about your identity - to the extent permitted by law. Your information will therefore be used while maintaining your anonymity.
3. Purpose and legal basis of processing
You can contact us via the internal whistleblower system to report compliance or legal violations. We process your personal data to review your report via the whistleblower system and to investigate suspected compliance or legal violations. In this context, we may have questions for you. For this purpose, we will communicate with you exclusively via the whistleblower system internal reporting office - unless you have expressly consented to other forms of communication. The confidentiality of the information you provide is our highest priority and is therefore guaranteed.
Your personal data will be processed in accordance with and on the basis of your consent when making a report via the whistleblowing system internal hotline - (Article Ab. 1, letter a GDPR).

We have a legitimate interest in processing personal data to prevent and detect breaches within our client's companies, to check the lawfulness of internal procedures and to protect their integrity.
If you provide us with special categories of personal data (e.g. sensitive data), we process them on the basis of your consent (Article 9, Paragraph 2, Letter a GDPR).
We intend to use your personal data only for the purposes stated above. Otherwise, we will obtain your prior consent.

7. Your rights
If you have provided us with your personal data, you have the right to information, rectification and erasure with regard to this personal data. You may also restrict the processing or request that it be transferred to another controller. Furthermore, you are entitled at any time to refuse the processing of your personal data for reasons related to your particular situation. You are entitled to revoke your consent at any time.
