3.  Reporting a breach of the legislative and regulatory framework applicable to the insurance sector (Whistleblowing)

For the purposes of carrying out the tasks entrusted to it by the Law of 16 May 2023 on the protection of persons who report breaches of Union law (hereinafter the ‘Law of 16 May 2023’), the CAA may be required to process personal data relating to whistleblowers.

  • Purposes of processing 
    In the context of the procedure relating to whistleblowing, the personal data obtained may be processed, subject to the applicable confidentiality obligations, in the context of the performance of the CAA's tasks or investigations, where this falls within its remit.
  • Data processed 
    As the reporting person, you may provide your full name, postal address and e-mail address on the Whistleblowing form, bearing in mind that reports may also be made by telephone, orally or in person, during an interview, it being specified in the latter case that the above information will be recorded in written document either signed by you, if appropriate, or anonymously, it being specified in the latter case that your personal data will not be processed, except in the event of subsequent identification. It is advisable, when describing the potential breach, to mention only the elements of the breach that are relevant to you.
  • Categories of recipients

    Recipients:

    Only members of the CAA staff specifically designated to process reports as part of the whistleblowing procedure have access to the processed data.

    Potential recipients:

    However, data may also be transmitted to other members of the CAA staff, who are also bound by confidentiality, for the purposes of effectively examining the report, on the basis of their respective remit in relation to the subject of the report. Anonymisation will therefore be preferred in this context, but if this is not possible, in particular because it would contravene the effective processing of the report, only the data strictly necessary for its successful processing will be transmitted.

    When the CAA receives a report for which it is not competent and in order to ensure its effectiveness, the alert may be transmitted to other competent authorities as defined by article 18 of the Law of 16 May 2023.

    By operation of law, personal data may also be transmitted (f.i. due to the CAA's duty to inform the Procureur d’Etat if the acts are likely to constitute a crime or an offence, or in the context of criminal proceedings against the entity concerned, in which case the whistleblower may, where appropriate, be called as a witness).
  • How long personal data is kept

    Personal data that is clearly not relevant to the processing of a specific report is not collected or, if collected by accident, is deleted without undue delay.

    Personal data obtained by means of a report deemed to be unfounded, falling outside the scope of the CAA's remit by authorised agents, shall be deleted without delay.

    Personal data obtained through an report is kept for three months following the closure of the investigation carried out by the CAA in the exercise of its respective missions or of the proceedings concerning the facts alleged in the report until the end of the appeal period.

    In accordance with the law of 17 August 2018 on archiving, files with heritage value must be kept for archiving purposes in the public interest beyond these periods of administrative usefulness.
  • Your rights

    You may exercise your right to access, rectify, delete or limit the processing of your personal data by contacting the CAA. If you have any questions about the processing of your personal data by the CAA, or if you wish to exercise your rights, you can contact the Data Protection Officer by post at CAA - Délégué à la protection des données - 11, rue Robert Stumper, L-2557 Luxembourg, Grand-Duchy of Luxembourg  or by e-mail to: dpo@caa.lu.

    You may also address any complaints to the National Data Protection Commission.
