How we protect data

Due to our business model, natural persons do not play a role as customers. Our data protection therefore focuses on the processing of personal data of employees and business partners.

As part of Siltronic's risk management, those responsible for data security and data protection report relevant risks to the local data protection officers. In addition, the global compliance officer can be informed via the external ombudsman or the digital whistleblower system. The latter reports to the Executive Board and the Audit Committee of the Supervisory Board.

The most important data protection measures are

  • The appointment of a data protection officer and the definition of responsibilities for the Group

  • Creating a data protection policy that applies to the Group

  • When selecting suppliers or service providers, care is taken to ensure that data protection laws are complied with.

  • Training employees in the handling of personal data

  • The inclusion of contractual clauses according to which Siltronic, customers and suppliers or service providers undertake to comply with relevant data protection laws
