Hi,

Welcome to the community!

As you’ll see from the SonarLint.org site, SonarLint is FLOSS software. In fact, you might want to look over the site, several of your questions can be answered there. But some cannot. Here are answers to some of the more relevant questions…

We don’t collect user data, so there’s nothing to share or sell. We do send a ping home on a regular basis with some non-PII data so we can gauge usage.

SonarSource received finalized ISO 27001 certification only this week.

There is no bug bounty, but we do release regularly and there is a dedicated security team.

Hi Manuel,

You’ve resurrected a thread that’s nearly 3 years old. Per the FAQ, please don’t do that. Please create a new thread with all your details.

 
Thx,
