Privacy is the whole point of theSHFT, so we want to hear about any weakness you find. If you think you have found a security problem in the app, the website or our servers, please tell us privately first. We will work with you to fix it.
1. HOW TO REPORT
Email support@theshft.app with the subject "Security report". Please include:
- What you found and why it matters.
- The steps to see it happen again, with the app version and device, or the web address.
- Any proof of concept, screenshots or logs, with other people's information removed.
- How you would like to be credited, or that you would rather stay unnamed.
2. WHAT IS COVERED
- theSHFT for iPhone and iPad, and theSHFT for Android.
- The web app at app.theshft.app and the website at theshft.app.

- Attacks that need physical access to someone else's phone.
- Flooding, load testing or anything that slows the service for others.

4. THE RULES WHILE TESTING

- If you reach another person's information by accident, stop, do not keep it, and tell us right away.

5. WHAT WE PROMISE
