Coordinated Vulnerability Disclosure Policy

Last Updated: September 4, 2026

‍

Whale TV is committed to ensuring the security of its products and services and to protecting the interests of our customers and users.

Whale TV supports responsible security research and coordinated vulnerability disclosure. We encourage security researchers, customers, partners and other parties to report potential security vulnerabilities so that we can investigate and address them appropriately.

This Policy applies to vulnerability reports concerning all Whale TV products with digital elements and public-facing websites, applications, APIs, cloud services, and software or firmware versions that Whale TV owns, operates, or controls. Customer, partner, and third-party environments are outside this scope unless expressly stated otherwise.

This Policy does not by itself authorize testing. Researchers must obtain any authorization required by applicable law and the relevant system owner before conducting security testing.

‍

1. How to Report a Vulnerability

Potential security vulnerabilities should be reported through:

Security Reporting Contact: cybersecurity@whaletv.com

Where possible, please provide the following information:

  • the affected product, model and software or firmware version;
  • a description of the vulnerability;
  • steps to reproduce the issue;
  • the potential security impact;
  • relevant technical details, logs, screenshots or proof-of-concept code; and
  • your preferred contact information.

Please provide only the information necessary to help us understand and verify the vulnerability.

Do not include passwords, private keys, personal data, customer data or other unnecessary sensitive information in your report. If sensitive information is necessary for investigation, Whale TV may provide an appropriate secure method for sharing it.

Whale TV accepts anonymous reports. However, if no contact information is provided, we may be unable to request additional information or provide updates regarding the report.

‍

2. Responsible Security Research

When conducting security research involving Whale TV products or services, researchers should:

  • comply with applicable laws and regulations;
  • conduct testing only on systems or environments for which they have appropriate authorization;
  • limit testing to what is reasonably necessary to identify and verify the vulnerability;
  • take reasonable steps to avoid affecting users, customers or the availability of our products and services; and
  • promptly report vulnerabilities through the designated reporting channel.

Researchers should not:

  • intentionally cause service disruption, denial of service or resource exhaustion;
  • access, modify, delete or disclose data without authorization;
  • conduct social engineering, phishing or other deceptive activities;
  • install backdoors or other persistent mechanisms;
  • test customer or third-party environments without appropriate authorization; or
  • use or disclose a vulnerability beyond what is reasonably necessary to demonstrate the issue.

If you unintentionally access personal data, customer data or other sensitive information, please stop testing, do not copy or further access the information, and notify Whale TV as soon as reasonably possible.

Where practical, researchers should use test, demonstration or non-production environments and avoid testing products that are actively used in safety-critical, operational or customer environments.

3. What You Can Expect from Whale TV

Whale TV will review vulnerability reports and, where appropriate:

  • acknowledge receipt of the report where contact information is available;
  • assess and verify the reported issue;
  • determine the affected products, versions and potential impact;
  • take appropriate remediation or mitigation measures where a vulnerability is confirmed; and
  • communicate with the reporter as appropriate.

Where contact information is available, Whale TV aims to acknowledge receipt within seven business days of receiving a report, complete an initial triage within ten business days of receipt, and provide a status update at least every ten business days while the case remains open. These targets do not guarantee that validation, remediation, public disclosure, or resolution will be completed within those periods. The timing of further actions may vary depending on the nature, severity, and complexity of the reported issue.

A submitted report does not by itself mean that Whale TV has confirmed the existence or severity of a vulnerability.

Where a reported issue involves a third-party product, service or component, Whale TV may coordinate with the relevant third party as appropriate.

‍

4. Coordinated Disclosure

Whale TV supports coordinated vulnerability disclosure.

We ask researchers to contact Whale TV before publicly disclosing detailed information about a vulnerability, where reasonably possible, so that we can work together on appropriate timing and content of the disclosure.

The timing of public disclosure will be considered on a case-by-case basis, taking into account factors such as the availability of remediation or mitigation measures, the potential impact on users, and whether exploitation is occurring or suspected.

Whale TV may delay public disclosure where necessary to protect users or comply with applicable legal or regulatory requirements.

‍

5. Confidentiality and Policy Updates

Whale TV will handle vulnerability reports and related information in accordance with applicable security, privacy and information-handling requirements.

Researchers should also take reasonable steps to protect confidential vulnerability information and avoid public disclosure that could enable exploitation before appropriate protective measures are available.

Whale TV may update this Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our products, security processes, regulatory requirements or vulnerability disclosure practices.

The current version of this Policy will be made available on this page.
