Bug Bounty

At Zappi we make every effort to acknowledge and recognize reporters of qualifying vulnerabilities. Unfortunately at present we do not offer a paid bug bounty program however we do strive to offer some form of appreciation to individuals and security researchers who report vulnerabilities according to this policy. People who report a qualifying vulnerability will receive acknowledgement and recognition from us.

Our Commitment

Once you have emailed security@zappistore.com you will receive an email acknowledging your report. Our Information Security Team aims to respond back to you within 24 hours.

When the Information Security Team receives the report, we will work to triage the vulnerability as soon as possible. We will contact you as soon as we can to give feedback on whether the vulnerability had been previously discovered and whether further information and details of the vulnerability will be required from you. Once we have determined the risk clarification of the vulnerability our team will prioritize the vulnerability and address it accordingly.

Once the vulnerability has been resolved / scheduled for resolution we will notify you and ask for confirmation that our identified solution sufficiently covers the vulnerability. During this time we will provide you with an opportunity to give feedback to the team on the vulnerability resolution.

Any information you share with us will be used in the strictest confidence and will be used to help us improve our offering. We will also offer the opportunity to be included in our acknowledgements page to any reporter of a qualifying vulnerability
