The NACS will analyse the information it receives in order to determine how it should be treated, performing any necessary verifications and actions.

However, the SNCA will not process information received where it is clearly unfounded or where it is so lacking in detail, generic, vague with regard to the facts of the lack of evidence provided does not allow the SNCA reasonably verify the facts reported and a minimum determination in its process of the reported facts.

Unless the person reporting the information expressly requests otherwise, the SNCA will keep his or her identity completely confidential, so that it will not be disclosed to any person.

To this end, all communications, verification actions or requests for documentation carried out by the SNCA shall omit the data relating to the identity of the person who has sent the information, as well as any other data that could lead to their full or partial identification.

Likewise, when the SNCA has to transfer the proceedings to other bodies for them to process the corresponding procedures, the provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply to the documentation sent to these other bodies, except where jurisdictional bodies or the Public Prosecutor's Office and the regulations governing the judicial procedure require otherwise. In the latter case, the identity of the reporting person shall be communicated only to those persons or bodies to whom it is indispensable.

Finally, and to the extent that the regulations governing the procedure in question so permit, it will be the SNCA itself that will take the necessary steps before the body to which the proceedings have been referred so that said procedure can be carried out correctly, so that, where appropriate, communication between said body and the person who has sent the information to the Service is made through said Service, in order to guarantee the confidentiality of the identity of said person.

Sending information through this communication channel does not grant the informant the status of interested party in the administrative actions that may result from the information provided, nor does it give them the right to be informed of their results, nor grounds to file appeals or claims related to the results of said actions.

The personal data provided by in the form will be processed by the SNCA for the purpose of investigating irregularities and cases of fraud against the financial interests of the European Union and, where applicable, for the processing of the legally established procedures for the purpose of demanding the liabilities that may be applicable in each case. Your data will not be disclosed to third parties. You may exercise your rights vis-à-vis the controller. For further information see additional information on data protection.
