Security

Every useless organisation and its dog currently claims to "take security very seriously". The only serious statements a person can make are:
  • The only information gathered is what you provide when signing up - email address and associated domain.
  • All source code is available for review
  • Frontend code is analysed with brakeman and bundler-audit regularly
If you believe you have identified a security concern, please report privately by direct email: technion at lolware.net.

Users are encouraged to review source code.
