Please name the organization to which the incident relates. We accept tips not only for your employer, but for a large number of organizations. The naming therefore allows us to properly assign your information. If possible, please name the unit as precisely as possible (e.g., if your tip refers to a subsidiary within a group, please name the subsidiary).
Please describe your information. For example, you can describe a specific incident or general observations you have made. The more detailed your description (e.g., dates, names, position descriptions), the more concretely we can check this information from the beginning. At the same time, we would like to point out that a concrete description could possibly lead to you making yourself identifiable. If you wish to avoid this, we advise you to first read our explanations under "How can I design my tip so that I am not identifiable?". Please note that there may be situations in which it is highly likely that the whistleblower's identity can be deduced from the information provided (e.g., in the case of incidents that are known only to a small circle of people).
You are welcome to attach documents to your email. Attention: Files may contain hidden information about personal data and especially reveal the author or the last editor of the file. If you wish to remain anonymous, please remove this information before uploading.
Please also consider providing us with your contact information. Your tip is an important first step on the path to stopping the breach you have reported. However, in many cases, we may need more information to better understand and resolve the issue. If you agree, we would therefore like to contact you with further questions - if necessary. We will confirm receipt of your message to your email address within 7 days at the latest. Most importantly, regardless of whether you provide us with your contact details or not, we will treat your information confidentially. Your contact data can only be viewed by vhistle and not by any other persons.

Please name the organization to which the incident refers. We accept tips not only for your employer, but for a large number of organizations. The designation therefore helps us to assign your tip. If possible, please name the unit as precisely as possible (e.g., if your tip refers to a subsidiary within a corporate group, please name the subsidiary).
Please describe your tip. For example, you can describe a specific incident or general observations you have made. The more detailed your description (e.g., mentioning dates, names, position titles), the more concretely we can check this tip from the beginning. At the same time, we would like to point out that a concrete description can possibly lead to you making yourself identifiable. If you would like to avoid this, we advise you to first read our explanations under "How can I design my tip so that I am not identifiable?". Please note that there may be constellations in which it is highly likely that conclusions about the identity of the whistleblower can be drawn from the tip (e.g., in the case of incidents that are known only to a small circle of people).

Do not use a terminal device provided by your employer (e.g., cell phone, tablet, PC) to submit the tip.
