Security and privacy are taken with the utmost seriousness across the DBSTEAM platform. Because DBSTEAM handles sensitive game library metadata, cloud save backups, and credentials:

1. Do not create public GitHub issues for security vulnerabilities.
2. Send all security reports directly to: davidlinacre@hotmail.co.uk with the subject tag [SECURITY: DBSTEAM].
3. Provide a detailed summary of the vulnerability, reproduction steps, proof of concept, and affected environment.
4. Reports are acknowledged within 24-48 hours with coordinated triage and patch deployment.
