If we want to remain true to our values and principles, we cannot simply tolerate misconduct. Therefore, employees have access to a digital whistleblowing system, through which they can report violations anonymously. The Rheingau-Taunus district, along with the municipality of Hünstetten and the cities of Idstein and Taunusstein, are committed to protecting honest whistleblowers from any form of influence.
How our whistleblower system helps protect your privacy
- No identifying information is provided to the contacts.
- Your message will be stylometrically redacted to provide you with an even higher level of anonymity. We remove all punctuation and convert all words to lowercase.
- All information is end-to-end encrypted, so your sensitive information remains safe.
What you can do to protect yourself
- You are not on the corporate network (Internet/VPN).
- You should not use a device (smartphone, computer, etc) that is provided by your employer.
- You should not use the kinds of idioms or abbreviations that you frequently use in conversations or when writing emails.
