We consider the protection of personal information a very serious matter. We ensure that the applicable data privacy provisions are observed through applicable technical and organizational measures. The unit responsible for processing personal data is Carl Zeiss AG. You can get in touch with the contact person responsible for questions relating to data privacy at dataprivacy .internal @zeiss .com. The corresponding data subject rights on data privacy can also be exercised via these channels.
The technical implementation of the Integrity Line is done on our instructions through EQS Group AG, Karlstraße 47, 80333 Munich, Germany ("EQS"). Specific data privacy regulations are agreed with EQS by contract. The Integrity Line enables you to contact us and report any allegations of compliance or statutory violations. The confidentiality of the information you provide takes top priority here.
The data you provide are saved in a highly secure database hosted by EQS. All data stored on the database are encrypted by EQS using state-of-the-art technology. The data stored here can only be inspected by responsible people at Carl Zeiss AG or administrators at EQS who are authorized for this specific purpose. Any person specifically authorized to inspect the data is explicitly obligated to keep the information confidential.
The responsible people at Carl Zeiss AG will verify the information you have provided and conduct further investigations into the matter, if appropriate. During this process, it may be the case that we have questions for you. For information submitted anonymously, we will communicate via Integrity Line's Safe Channel.
It is possible to use this feature without entering your personal data. However, you may provide identifying information, if you wish. In this case, you would need to consent to these personal data being processed. In this case, we are once again obligated to ensure confidentiality. The information on your identity will be solely processed by Carl Zeiss AG.
We only store personal data for as long as we require it to process the information or as long as is required by law. All personal data are then either deleted or made anonymous. For the technical implementation of this, we transfer personal data to EQS in the scope outlined above. We have signed a data processing agreement with EQS to ensure data privacy.
