Q: What is TD’s whistleblower policy?
A: TD’s whistleblower policy encourages our employees and outside parties to come forward with credible information on illegal practices or violations of adopted policies of TD. It also specifies that TD will protect the individual who makes a reporting from retaliation.

Q: Does TD management really want employees to report concerns?
A: Absolutely! In fact, Treasure Data needs you to report them. Reporting can minimize the potential negative impact of inappropriate conduct on the company and our employees. Reporting also may help identify issues that can improve our culture and performance.

Q: Where to these reports go? Who can access them?
A: Reports are entered directly on the Convercent secure server. Once entered, Convercent makes these reports available only to specific corporate employees charged with evaluating the report and ensuring a proper investigation is performed in a professional and confidential manner. Currently internally within Treasure Data these reports can be accessed by Kim Bronstein – Chief People Officer, Carter Lee - Director of People, Andy Orr – Chief Legal Officer and Linh Dieu - General Counsel.

Q: What can I expect to happen after I make a report to the TD Whistleblowing Hotline?
A: We will respond to every inquiry and report and keep you up-to-date on the progress of our investigation through the system. Each contact to the hotline generates a tracking number which can be used to correspond with the investigator, provide additional information and obtain responses from Treasure Data. Through the system, callers will be informed of the outcome and resolution of their issues raised in the report.

Q: I am aware of unethical conduct at my location, but it doesn’t affect me. Am I obligated to report this?
A: Yes. Integrity is a core value at Treasure Data and we actively promote ethical behavior. All unethical conduct, at any level in the organization, ultimately hurts the company, the brand, and all employees. As Treasure Data employees, we are all responsible for reporting any concerns that may pose a threat to our company’s reputation and business.

Q: Can I expect to remain anonymous in my reporting?
A: Yes. You may remain anonymous in your reporting, however, please keep in mind that this may impede our ability to fully investigate and resolve the issues raised in your report.

Q: Will I be retaliated against for reporting?
A: No. It is against the law and our company policies to punish or take adverse action against someone who has made a report in good faith.
