Responsible Disclosure Policy

Cere does not publicly disclose or confirm security vulnerabilities until Cere has conducted analysis in cooperation with a 3rd party security auditing firm.

We work with security experts at Halborn to complete critical analysis of reported vulnerabilities.

By submitting a vulnerability report ("Report"), you agree to not publicly disclose or share the reported vulnerability with any third party. Cere must be informed in advance about your intended publications and their content. The publication must NOT include any customer, confidential or sensitive data, and must focus on the technical vulnerability discovered.

In the event of publication, Cere and you shall mutually agree on a coordinated disclosure.

If you submit a Report which affects a third-party service, we will limit the information that we share with any affected third party. We may share non-identifying content from your report with an affected third party. We will not share your identifying information with any affected third party without first obtaining your written permission.

Reporting

If the reporter has the opportunity to access personal data or particularly sensitive personal data, the reporter shall notify Cere immediately in writing by email [email protected].
