During registration, the User must provide the mandatory data listed on the Platform’s registration interface. The User may decide to provide non-mandatory data at his own discretion. The Agreement is created for an indefinite period starting from the registration by the User.
- Depending on the choice of researcher, profile availability can be
- Public, i.e. the username and additional data are visible to the website Visitors, for example in the Ranking.
- Visible to Registered Users, in which case the data is hidden from Website Visitors, it will not appear in the Public Ranking, for example, but is available to Registered Users.
- Private setting, where profile data is hidden, neither Website Visitors nor Registered Users can see it.
- Reporting a vulnerability cannot be done anonymously, so the Researcher’s data (Basic Information) will be recorded, but no personal data will be transmitted to the Program Owner and Customer.
- In order to report vulnerabilities while the Program is running, the reporting interface of the Platform must be used, which in each case defines the range of data required for reporting.
- Following a vulnerability, HACKTIFY prepares an encrypted report of the report, which is made available to the Customer. In this way, the Program owner does not know any data about the Researcher reporting the vulnerability, so the Program owner cannot identify the User in any way.
- HACKTIFY stores the encrypted report on the notification of the vulnerability according to its data protection policies and the relevant laws, and exclusively for the purpose of calculating the points that form the basis of the ranking and determining the Rewards, but no later than the date of termination of the contract with the Program owner – unless otherwise agreed with the Program owner – for 5 years. HACKFITY will then delete the encrypted report and will not be able to disclose it even in response to a request from a public authority.
- By using the Website, registering, and using the Services, the User, being a natural person, expressly declares and warrants that he/she is entitled to use the Website, register, and use the Services in accordance with the applicable legislation, in particular that he/she has full legal capacity. The age of full legal capacity, including the age of majority, may vary from state to state. The User warrants that they have full legal capacity to act based on the laws of their relevant jurisdiction.
- By using the Website, registering, or using the Services, the person acting on behalf of a User who is not a natural person expressly declares and warrants that he or she is entitled to use the Website, register and use the Services on the basis of the legislation in force applicable to him or her or on the basis of an appropriate legal provision or a valid and effective power of attorney, and in particular declares and warrants that he or she is entitled to represent the User who is not a natural person, thus they are entitled to conclude this Agreement on behalf of the User. The person acting on behalf of the User, who is not a natural person further declares and warrants on behalf of the User that the User is authorized and able to fulfill the obligations assumed in this Agreement, and thus has particularly adequate legal, financial, and human resources to fulfill the assumed obligations.
- The person acting on behalf of the User who is not a natural person further represents and warrants that the User who is not a natural person is a legal person or an entity without legal personality, operating lawfully under the applicable laws applicable to it.
