Upon receiving reports of vulnerabilities in accordance with this policy, we commit to taking immediate action. This includes engaging relevant personnel within our organization and collaborating with security researchers to resolve the issue expediently. We aim to address all reported vulnerabilities in line with our security and privacy commitments.
