Responsible Disclosure Policy
Data security is a top priority for Twingate, and Twingate believes that working with skilled security researchers can identify weaknesses in any technology.
If you believe you’ve found a security vulnerability in Twingate’s service, please notify us; we will work with you to resolve the issue promptly.
Disclosure Policy
- If you believe you’ve discovered a potential vulnerability, please let us know by emailing us at security [at] twingate.com.
- Provide us with a reasonable amount of time to resolve the issue before disclosing it to the public or a third party. We aim to resolve critical issues within 5 business days of disclosure.
- Make a good faith effort to avoid violating privacy, destroying data, or interrupting or degrading the Twingate service. Please only interact with accounts you own or for which you have explicit permission from the account holder.
- Do not exploit a security issue you discover, including for the purpose of demonstrating additional risk by compromising sensitive data.
- This policy does not authorize you to access data that is not yours (including user data, Twingate data, and any personal data).
