How to report
In order to encourage the reporting of any violations, SIAD has established a series of internal channels available through the ‘Comunica Whistleblowing’ IT platform.
Through the Platform, Whistleblowers can:
- make written reports: by sending a report, creating a password and assigning a ‘Report Number’ with which to monitor the status of the report;
- make verbal reports: using the option provided (with automatic modification of the voice to make it unrecognisable);
- reports by requesting a direct meeting: requesting a direct meeting with the Report Manager.
Processing of personal data
All personal data will be processed in accordance with personal data protection legislation and in full compliance with fundamental rights and freedoms, with particular regard to the confidentiality of the identity of the individuals involved and the security of the processing.
The platform is structured in such a way as to ensure compliance with the principles of personal data protection and maximum confidentiality, so that only the Report Manager and those involved in the management of the Report can access sensitive data and relevant information.
