Inditex Responsible Disclosure Policy

Brand Promise

The safety and security of our customers, suppliers and employees’ data and any sensitive information, as well as the reliability of the IT services we use to manufacture and market our products, are of utmost importance to the Inditex Group (hereinafter, “Inditex”). It is our compromise to deter any action directed against the confidentiality, integrity and availability of our computer systems, networks, and computer data as well as the misuse of such systems, networks and data for fraudulent activities, cybercrime offences or against the safety and security of our customers, suppliers, and employees.

An effective fight against these matters requires, on the one hand, to collaborate with institutions and authorities to try to assist in order to mitigate the commission of cybercrimes or illegal actions; on the other, to design and implement this Vulnerability Disclosure Policy (hereinafter, “Policy”), which describes the Inditex’s terms and conditions with regard to any unsolicited report related to potential IT vulnerabilities which can be exploited by threat actors against us, our customers, suppliers or employees.

Inditex cares deeply about maintaining trust and confidence and strongly believes that close collaboration ith researchers and reporters improves security. If you are a security researcher or a reporter who has found a vulnerability in a Inditex service, we would like to hear from you.

According with ENISA definition, vulnerability is ‘flaws’ or ‘mistakes’ in computer-based systems that may be exploited to compromise the network and information security of affected systems.

Reporters must review, understand, and abide by the following terms and conditions included in the Policy before conducting any research or testing. In addition, Inditex encourages reporters to act in a responsible way in the reporting process.

Reporter compliance with terms and conditions of this Policy will be considered by Inditex as an authorized conduct in accordance with regulations included in national laws. Failure to abide terms and conditions will result in the loss of being considered a security researcher or reporter under the Policy.

Inditex reserves all legal rights in the event of any non-compliance with this Policy or in case of not compliance with local laws.
