Any personal information provided in this form is handled in accordance with the "Personal Information Protection Policy of KYOCERA Corporation"(“Purpose of use” etc.). Kyocera takes safety measures to appropriately and responsibly protect personal information. We do not provide third parties with personal information unless obtaining prior consent. However, this does not include cases where we use personal information jointly with other Kyocera Group companies or instances where provision is permitted under laws and regulations.

In case you are informing us about a suspected violation, we will process the personal information that you provide to us. This may include your name, contact details, position, and actions/information described to us (as far as supplied by you). In case of investigations, we might process information that you did not supply, but is derived from our investigations. The purpose of the processing is to analyze whether the information you supplied to us actually constitutes a breach of our regulations or illegal behavior.

In case you are mentioned in an information we receive through the hotline (as witness or alleged wrongdoer), we might process your personal information, even without your cooperation or prior information. We will inform you about a particular investigation as soon as possible. The aims of the processing are described above and especially include gaining information whether the claim made by a person is actually true, whether it constitutes a breach of Kyocera rules or illegal behavior and whether the claims do not apply.

The information you supply to us might be transferred to other companies of Kyocera Group (if necessary for the investigations purposes and/or if it relates to a particular company) or to external parties (if necessary for the investigations purposes and/or we assume illegal behavior that is reported to the police or other state institutions). The legal basis for this processing of the personal information is – if you are located in the EU – Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, our interests are to ensure that all Kyocera employees comply with legal obligations.
