Global Hotlines and International Data Privacy
An Ethics Hotline and Management System for Your Organization
When implementing an ethics hotline and hotline reporting system, global organizations must adequately address linguistic and cultural differences while maintaining a consistent approach to the intake and management of issues. Challenges include:
- Communicating a business ethics policy in many languages;
- Providing a hotline reporting system that is universally available to all, regardless of time zone and the technology available;
- Handling hotline reporting and web reporting in multiple languages;
- Addressing international data privacy laws, including whistleblower guidelines and data transfers.

A Hotline Reporting System That Addresses Compliance on a Global Scale
Many organizations are in a unique position when balancing business ethics, compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) and the laws of international jurisdictions, such as those in  the European Union (EU). There is often an apparent disconnect between compliance with one and compliance with another, given the complex nature of handling data privacy in countries outside the United States. EthicsPoint’s Data Privacy solution resolves these issues with the technological tools necessary to approach compliance on a global scale.
EthicsPoint’s Data Privacy solution provides many of the technological tools required to address guidelines established by:
- France: CNIL
- European Union: Article 29 Working Group
- Belgium: Data Privacy Commission
- Germany: Düsseldorfer Kreis
- Spain: APD/LOPD
- Ireland: Data Protection Commission
- Canada: PIPEDA
- Japan: J-SOX
