This s section concerns Lumme Energia’s external whistleblowing channel, available on the company’s website. The processing of personal data in connection with this channel has specific characteristics that differ from the other sections of this Privacy Notice. For more information, please refer to the separate Whistleblowing Channel Privacy Notice.


11.1.    Purpose and Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data


The whistleblowing channel is used to monitor the implementation of Lumme Energia’s Supplier Code of Conduct. The purpose of processing personal data is to monitor and investigate suspected misconduct and unethical behavior. The data may also be used for the development, analysis, and statistical reporting of internal control and risk management.

The processing of personal data is based on Lumme Energia’s legitimate interest in obtaining information about misconduct related to the company and its operations in order to address such matters, as well as to ensure the ethical and lawful conduct of external stakeholders. As a result of a balancing test, it has been concluded that the rights and freedoms of data subjects do not override Lumme Energia’s legitimate interest.


Lumme Energia provides its personnel with an internal whistleblowing channel, which is accessible via the company’s intranet. In relation to this internal whistleblowing channel, the processing of personal data is also necessary for the data controller to comply with a legal obligation. The processing is based on the Whistleblower Act (Act on the Protection of Persons Reporting Breaches of European Union and National Law, 1171/2022). For the avoidance of doubt, when Lumme Energia’s personnel report suspected misconduct via the external whistleblowing channel, the legal bases for processing personal data are compliance with a legal obligation and legitimate interest.

 

11.2.    Categories of Personal Data


The content of the register is based on the information provided by the person submitting the report. The register may contain the following types of personal data concerning the whistleblower, the subject of the report, and other individuals involved, such as witnesses:

•    Name and contact details of the whistleblower (a report can also be submitted anonymously)
•    Details of the report, such as the name of the subject, information related to the alleged unethical or unlawful conduct (including place and time), and information on witnesses
•    Information related to the submission and processing of the report, as well as related communications (including the report code and status)
•    Any other information voluntarily provided by the whistleblower
In addition, data is collected on individuals responsible for handling reports submitted through the whistleblowing channel.


The accuracy of the personal data contained in the reports cannot be verified in advance, but efforts are made to ensure their accuracy during the investigation of suspected misconduct. Personal data deemed irrelevant or excessive for the purposes of the case will be deleted. As a rule, special categories of personal data are not processed in connection with the whistleblowing procedure.


11.3.    Regular Sources of Personal Data


The primary source of personal data is the whistleblower. In addition, personal data may be collected and generated during the processing of whistleblowing reports. This may include information obtained from individuals potentially involved in the matter and data retrieved from relevant IT systems. Other sources of information may be used where permitted by applicable legislation.

 

11.4.    Regular Disclosures of Personal Data


At Lumme Energia, personal data is processed exclusively by specifically designated individuals within the company's compliance and sustainability function.
