Security and Vulnerability Disclosure
Keeping user information safe and secure is a top priority for us at NCX. We welcome the contribution of external security researchers and look forward to awarding them for their invaluable contributions to our security. Please contact us at security@ncx.com if you’ve found a vulnerability or other security issue with https://ncx.com/, https://landowners.ncx.com/, or any other NCX application or data.
To promote the discovery and reporting of vulnerabilities and increase user safety, we ask that you:
- Share the security issue with us in detail
- Give us a reasonable time to respond to the issue before making any information about it public
- Do not access our users’ data, or modify any data, without explicit permission of the owner. Only interact with your own accounts or test accounts for security research purposes
- Act in good faith to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption or degradation of our services (including denial of service)
- Otherwise comply with all applicable laws
We will not negotiate in response to duress or threats (e.g. we will not negotiate the payout amount under threat of withholding the vulnerability or threat of releasing the vulnerability or any exposed data to the public).
