Responsible disclosure policy

Reporting

If you have found a weakness in one of our systems, we would like to hear from you so that we can take measures as quickly as possible. We would very much like to work with you in order to protect our customers and our systems more effectively.

This is what we would like you to do:

  • E-mail your findings to contact@mvonederland.nl.

  • Do not make inappropriate use of the problem, for example by downloading more data than necessary in order to demonstrate the breach, or by viewing, deleting or modifying third-party data.

  • Do not tell others about the problem until it has been resolved and delete all confidential data obtained via the breach as soon as the breach has been rectified.

  • Do not use attacks on physical security, social engineering, distributed denial of service, spam or third-party applications.

  • Provide sufficient information in order to replicate the problem so that we can resolve it as quickly as possible. Generally, the IP address or URL of the system affected and a description of the weakness is sufficient, although more information may be necessary in the event of more complex weaknesses.

What we promise:

  • We will respond within three days of your report with our assessment of the report and the expected date by which it will be resolved.

  • If you have kept to the above conditions, we will not take legal action against you with regard to the report.

  • We will handle your report confidentially and will not share your personal data with third parties without your permission unless this is necessary in order to meet a statutory obligation. It is possible to submit your report under a pseudonym.
