• Provider no plaintext access Report an error

  “As the provider of the hintcatcher whistleblower system software, it is not possible for us to decrypt and thus access the plain text of your reports.”

• Transparent encryption Report an error

  “The whistleblower system hintcatcher carries out the encryption and decryption transparently in the background, so that in most cases you don’t notice anything.”

• New caseworker future hints only Report an error

  “Additional case workers that are added to your hintcatcher system via the user management can only decrypt, view, and work with hints that are submitted to your hintcatcher system after the case worker was added.”

• Password loss irrecoverable Report an error
