Omilia Whistle-blowing Policy: Speaking Up for Integrity

Omilia is committed to maintaining the highest standards of integrity, transparency, and ethical conduct across our global operations. This policy provides a framework for the timely and confidential reporting of serious concerns (whistleblowing) regarding potential illegal, unethical, or improper activities within our company.

Protection and the right to report under this policy extend broadly to include:

  • Current, former, and potential Omilia employees.
  • Contractors, consultants, self-employed persons, and trainees (paid or unpaid).
  • Shareholders and members of administrative, management, or supervisory bodies.
  • Any person working under the supervision of Omilia’s contractors or suppliers.

Whistleblowing is the intentional disclosure of actual, potential, or expected significant irregularities, violations, or punishable acts concerning Omilia employees or executives.

These breaches include, but are not limited to, violations concerning:

  • Financial crimes (e.g., money laundering, fraud, breaches affecting EU financial interests).
  • Public health, product safety, and transport safety.
  • Protection of privacy, personal data, and security of network systems.
  • Breaches of corporate tax rules, competition, or bribery laws (including venality and influence peddling).
  • Corruption or serious unethical behaviour.

The basic and inviolable principle of this policy is the protection and confidentiality of the whistleblower.

Confidentiality and Anonymity

  • Confidentiality: Omilia is committed to protecting the anonymity and confidentiality of the reporter’s identity.
  • Encouraged Disclosure: While anonymous allegations are examined based on their merits, we encourage individuals to identify themselves. This greatly facilitates thorough investigation, as it allows the Officer to request clarifying information.
  • Legal Limits: The revelation of a whistleblower’s identity will only occur if required by a court or legal procedure, and the whistleblower will be notified if possible.

Protection from Retaliation

Omilia commits to protecting any whistleblower who makes a disclosure in good faith from any retaliatory actions concerning their current position or future professional development.

Concerns can be submitted via our dedicated and secure mailbox, which supports both identified and anonymous reporting:

To facilitate investigation, your disclosure should clearly include:

  • The facts giving rise to the suspicion/concern.
  • Reference to names, dates, documents, and locations, if available.
  • The reason for submitting the disclosure.
  • (Note: The disclosure itself is not expected to constitute proof, but full available information is encouraged.)

→ For Omilia Greece contracted Omilians: Notice regarding the processing of personal data_whistleblowing scheme_GR.docx

A dedicated Officer for Receipt and Follow Up on Reports (the “Officer”) is responsible for:

  • Receiving the report and confirming receipt within seven (7) days.
  • Performing an initial assessment and assigning the case for investigation.
  • Informing the reporter about the actions taken within a reasonable timeframe, not exceeding three (3) months.
  • Ensuring the confidentiality of all involved parties.

All personal data collected during the whistleblowing process is handled in strict accordance with applicable personal data protection laws. Data is:

  • Stored securely with encryption and access controls.
  • Accessible only to authorized personnel involved in the investigation.
  • Deleted within 30 days of case closure, unless legally required otherwise.

If a whistleblower reasonably believes their report cannot be effectively addressed internally (e.g., due to a conflict of interest) or if there is a risk of retaliation, they have the option to report directly to an external competent authority.

In Cyprus, depending on the nature of the breach, competent authorities may include:

  • the Cyprus Police or the Attorney General (for criminal offences), 
  • the Independent Authority Against Corruption (for corruption‑related matters), or
  • the Office of the Commissioner for Personal Data Protection (for personal data matters).

Data Subject Rights Request Process: Your Data, Your Rights

Omilia respects your fundamental rights regarding your personal data. This page outlines how you can exercise the rights granted to you under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), ensuring a transparent and reliable process for accessing, modifying, or deleting your information.

1. How to Submit a Data Rights Request (DSAR)

We have established a dedicated, secure channel for you to exercise your rights.

Request ChannelEmail Address
Data Protection Officer (DPO) Request Submission[email protected]

In all cases, we must be able to verify your identity to proceed.

2. Our Procedure and Response Timeline

We adhere to strict regulatory guidelines to ensure your request is handled promptly and securely:

StepDetail
VerificationWe must first confirm your identity. We may request proof (such as a certified copy of a National ID or Passport) to ensure we share data only with the rightful owner. We cannot act on a request if we cannot establish your identity.
Initial ResponseWe will respond to your request without undue delay and within a maximum of one month from receipt.
Complexity ExtensionFor complex or numerous requests, we may extend the response time by up to two additional months. If this happens, we will inform you of the delay and the reasons within the initial one-month period.
CostGenerally, all responses to requests are provided free of charge. We will only charge a reasonable fee or refuse a request if it is considered “manifestly unfounded or excessive.”
Rejection and AppealIf we decline your request, we will inform you of the reason(s) for the rejection and advise you of your right to lodge a complaint with the relevant supervisory authority.

3. Your Rights Under the GDPR

As a data subject, you have the following key rights concerning the personal data Omilia holds about you:

  • Right of Access (DSAR): You have the right to ask if we process your data, receive a copy of that data, and be informed about the purposes, categories of data, recipients, and retention periods.
  • Right to Rectification: You can request that we correct inaccurate personal data or complete incomplete data we hold about you.
  • Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purpose it was collected, or if you withdraw consent (subject to legal exceptions).
  • Right to Restriction of Processing: You can request that we limit how we process your data, for example, while we investigate its accuracy or if you contest its processing legality.
  • Right to Data Portability: You have the right to receive your personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible.
  • Right to Object: You can object to processing based on our legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes (in which case we must stop processing immediately).
  • Rights related to Automated Decision Making and Profiling: You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (including profiling) that significantly affects you, and to insist on human intervention.
  • Right to Withdraw Consent: If we process your data based on your consent, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time.

4. Note for Customer Data (Omilia as a Processor)

In many cases, Omilia acts as a Data Processor, meaning we process data on behalf of our customer (the Data Controller). This means:

Omilia will assist our customer (the Data Controller) in responding to your request according to the terms of our contract with them, but the ultimate responsibility for the response lies with the Data Controller.

If you are a customer of an Omilia client (e.g., your bank or telecom provider), your request must be directed to that company (the Data Controller) first.
