Vulnerability Disclosure Policy
We take security of our assets with utmost seriousness. We greatly appreciate the efforts of security researchers and discoverers who share information on security issues with us, giving us a chance to improve our products and services to better protect our customers.
We ask that you follow our Vulnerability Disclosure Policy Guidelines and make an effort in good faith to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our service whilst you research.
