Writer: Abhinav BangiaAbhinav Bangia

At Com Olho, security is not just a priority—it’s an uncompromising commitment. Our bug bounty platform is built on a foundation of trust, transparency, and adherence to strict legal and ethical standards. Any breach of our Terms & Conditions (T&C) will be met with swift and decisive legal action.

A Robust Framework for Security and Confidentiality

At Com Olho, we require every researcher to provide comprehensive personal details, including:

  • Phone Number

  • Aadhar Number

  • PAN Number

  • Address

  • Geo Location

This information is crucial for verifying identities and ensuring accountability within our community. In addition, every researcher signs a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) that is legally binding for 10 years. This agreement is designed to protect sensitive data and uphold the integrity of our platform.

What Constitutes a Breach?

For the purposes of our platform, a breach is defined as any action by a researcher that:

  • Posts or Shares Sensitive Personal Information Online: This includes any disclosure which as in relation with Com Olho Platform and its clients.

  • Causes Reputational Damage: Any activity that harms the reputation of our clients using the platform, whether through online postings or any other medium.

Such breaches not only violate our T&C and NDA but also undermine the trust and safety of our entire community.

Unyielding Legal Safeguards

1. Criminal Prosecution

Any unauthorized disclosure, manipulation, or misuse of the personal data entrusted to us—including posting sensitive information online—will be considered a serious offense under applicable cybercrime and data protection laws. Offenders will face criminal charges, potentially resulting in arrest, prosecution, and severe penalties including imprisonment and hefty fines.

2. Civil Litigation

We reserve the right to initiate civil proceedings against any individual or entity found to be in breach of our T&C or NDA. Legal action may include claims for:

  • Damages: Recovery of financial losses incurred due to the breach.

  • Injunctive Relief: Court orders to immediately halt further dissemination or misuse of compromised data.

  • Legal Costs: Reimbursement for all expenses incurred in protecting our rights and interests.


3. Regulatory Action

Given the sensitive nature of the data involved, breaches may also trigger investigations by regulatory authorities under national data protection and privacy laws. Violators could face sanctions, fines, and additional punitive measures as mandated by law.

4. Contractual Penalties and Permanent Exclusion

Any breach of our T&C will result in the immediate termination of your access to our platform. Com Olho will pursue all available legal remedies to address the breach and safeguard the integrity of our research community and client relationships.

The Binding Nature of Our NDA

The NDA you sign with Com Olho is not a mere formality—it is a legally binding contract that lasts for 10 years. It imposes a strict duty of confidentiality, obligating you to protect all information disclosed during your engagement with our platform. Any violation of this agreement, including posting sensitive details online or causing reputational damage, will result in severe legal repercussions. We will enforce this agreement rigorously in court, ensuring that every breach is met with the full force of the law.

Our Commitment to a Secure and Trustworthy Community

Our approach is clear: we empower ethical researchers to identify and report vulnerabilities while maintaining a secure and respectful environment for all parties involved. Our stringent T&C and comprehensive NDA are integral to upholding the highest standards of security, integrity, and accountability. By participating in our bug bounty program, you agree to adhere strictly to these terms. Any deviation, whether through the unauthorized posting of personal data or by causing reputational harm to our clients, will trigger immediate and robust legal action.

In Conclusion

At Com Olho, we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards breaches of trust. Our legal framework is designed to protect not only our proprietary data and systems but also to ensure that our community operates under the highest ethical and legal standards.
