Vulnerability Reporting Process

This includes flaws or loopholes in our app, transaction processes, or website. To report a vulnerability, please send a detailed description of your observation to [FacePOS Security Email Address security@facepos.ie]. Include as much information as possible, such as:
- The nature of the vulnerability

- Any potential implications of the vulnerability
We assure you that all vulnerability reports will be handled with the utmost confidentiality and privacy. Our dedicated security team will thoroughly review each report and take appropriate actions to mitigate any identified risks. We strive to investigate and respond to reports promptly.
Importance of Responsible Disclosure
Responsible disclosure is the practice of reporting vulnerabilities to the affected vendor or developer in a private and controlled manner. This allows the vendor to address the vulnerability before it can be exploited by malicious actors. Public disclosure of vulnerabilities can put users at risk and should only be considered as a last resort if the vendor is unresponsive.
