Security & Open Source Policy

# FoodX Security, Misuse & Open-Source Policy

## Responsible disclosure

Report suspected vulnerabilities privately with steps to reproduce, impact, and contact details. Do not access, alter, exfiltrate, or destroy data beyond what is needed to demonstrate the issue.

## Misuse

No credential abuse, malware, denial-of-service activity, unauthorised scraping, unlawful content, evasion of safety controls, or use that violates another party’s rights.

## Open source

Third-party components remain under their original licences. Maintain notices and attribution, track dependencies, review licences before distribution, and publish source or notices where a licence requires it.

The final policy must add the real reporting route, security commitments, response expectations, and licence inventory.
