Privacy statement TrusTool B.V.

Privacy of persons reporting

1. TrusTool is the brand name of a digital portal for confidential counsellors. Organizations that work with TrusTool allow persons reporting to approach their confidential counsellor trough a secured portal and enable them to report, either anonymously or under their own name, undesirable behavior and integrity violations. Confidential counsellors also use the portal for their case management.

2. A person reporting that uploads personal data in the portal agrees that the personal data is stored in the portal. The sole purpose of storing and registering the personal data is to be able to act and help in response to a report. The personal data will not be dispatched through the system to any other person or organization.

A non-anonymous person reporting has the right and ability to review, correct and/or delete its personal data in its file. In addition, at any time a non-anonymous person reporting has the right and ability to withdraw its consent to process personal data. In that case the confidential counsellor is obliged to remove the personal data from the portal. In that case the portal only shows that a report was made on a certain date and that the report related to undesirable behavior or an integrity violation.

3. Organizations that work with TrusTool do not have access to the secured part of the portal in which the reports of the persons reporting are stored. Only the confidential counsellor has access to the files and personal data. Secured access requires a 2-step authentication of confidential counsellors.

4. Personal data will be stored in the portal for a maximum period of two years after the file has been archived by the confidential counsellor. In accordance with the code of conduct of the association of professional confidential counsellors (Landelijke vereniging van Vertrouwenspersonen), the personal data is removed from the portal after the two-year period.

Expertise and practical experience

TrusTool is an initiative launched by Dorianne Broekman. She has been working as an employment lawyer for over 30 years. In this role, she has frequently dealt with cases involving integrity issues, abuse, unethical behaviour and unsafe working environments. In effect, there are only losers in such cases. Preventing escalation is her preferred solution. Confidential counsellors can play an important role in this respect.
Dorianne is also a certified confidential counsellor and she developed TrusTool to further professionalize the role of confidential counsellors.

Dorianne Broekman

As a confidential counsellor, I was faced with the fact that employees often have to approach a confidential counsellor using a company e-mail address. But who has access to this e-mail? Who sees that email? Where does a confidential counsellor store the information about the reports? Does this process meet the requirements laid down by the General Data Protection Regulation? I also spoke to coordinating confidential counsellor who spent a great deal of time preparing annual aggregate data reports. I believed that there was an easier way to do this. And so, TrusTool was born− based on practical experience.
