Declaration of consent

Compliance - i.e. adherence to laws and internal rules - is a high priority for the Hessing Group. Compliance violations must be identified at an early stage in order to initiate appropriate countermeasures and avert possible damage to patients, employees, business partners and the company.

Use our whistleblower system if you have concrete indications of serious violations. Our whistleblower system is available to employees of the Hessing Group as well as to outsiders. In order to support investigations of serious violations of compliance regulations and legal obligations and to maintain communication, whistleblowers from within and outside the Hessing Group are asked and encouraged to disclose their identity. All information submitted through the virtual mailbox will be carefully reviewed by the Hessing Group's Ombuds Office and treated confidentially.

Voluntary consent of the whistleblower is required for disclosure of identity. For whistleblowers from the Hessing Group of Companies, we process the data on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO in conjunction with § 26 (2) BDSG, for whistleblowers outside the Hessing Group of Companies on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. We obtain consent in writing or electronically.

Consent can be revoked at any time without incurring any disadvantages. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until the revocation.

The right to revoke consent is limited in time due to legal obligations to inform the data subject, who is the subject of the notification and investigation. The time limit for revoking consent is limited to one month from the date of the declaration of consent. The legal obligation to provide information and the time limit are derived from Art. 14 (3) lit. a DSGVO.
