Hintbox is a whistleblowing system for companies and public bodies that must receive and handle internal reports under the EU Whistleblower Directive and the German Hinweisgeberschutzgesetz. It provides secure reporting forms, case management, communication with reporters and tracking of statutory deadlines. The product also supports reporting duties under the German supply chain due diligence act. Hintbox is delivered as a cloud service and is part of the lawcode Suite.
Hintbox is operated by lawcode GmbH, based in Koblenz, Germany. According to the provider, reports are encrypted end-to-end before they are sent and transport is protected with TLS. Collected data is stored in a data centre in Germany with an ISO/IEC 27001-certified hosting provider, and the provider states compliance with the GDPR. For a European organisation, the company seat and data storage are both within the EU. The website names no shareholders or parent company and does not describe a self-hosted variant or open-source code.
