+
+## Safe harbor
+
+We will not pursue or support legal action against good-faith security research that:
+
+- respects user privacy and does not access, modify, or destroy data that is not yours;
+- avoids service disruption (no denial of service, no spam);
+- gives us reasonable time to remediate before public disclosure.
+
+If you are unsure whether something is in scope, ask first at the address above.
+
+## Notes
+
+- There is no formal bug bounty program today. With your permission, we credit reporters in release notes.
+- Our security and compliance posture is published at https://www.permissionprotocol.com/trust.
