FAQs
Where does the data come from?
From company websites, compliance and career pages, and public registers. Compelling shows the source with each answer.
Is this legal advice?
No. The columns show indicators from public sources. Whether the HinSchG applies to a company is for that company's own review.
Can I miss a channel that exists?
Yes. A channel inside an intranet or behind a login is not public. A No means none was found on public pages, so check before you write.
