DO:

• Report vulnerabilities privately first
• Provide detailed reproduction steps
• Allow reasonable time for fixes
• Work with us to minimize user impact

DON'T:

• Access or modify user data without permission
• Disrupt our services or other users
• Publicly disclose before we've had time to fix
• Perform testing that could harm users or data

Security researchers who responsibly report vulnerabilities will be:

• Publicly credited (if desired) in our security advisories
• Listed in our Hall of Fame (coming soon)
• Acknowledged in release notes
• Considered for bounties (if we implement a bug bounty program)

• Email: threatpeek9@gmail.com
• Response Time: Within 48 hours
• Preferred Language: English
