We will process your personal data in order to provide you with our services, to assess your call to the Speak Up Helpline and to help identify what type of assistance we can provide to you. We use statistics and general information from all the calls we receive to monitor patterns in corruption and wrongdoing, produce reports and formulate recommendations to policy-makers as appropriate.

We hold your data in hard copy and electronic form. The hard copy data is stored in our secure filing systems at our offices at 69 Middle Abbey Street, Dublin 1. This data is also held on a secure database provided by Salesforce.com, inc and hosted in Frankfurt.
