Report a security weakness without putting anyone at risk.
This page gives safe current reporting guidance and a candidate process for future accounts. It is not a bug-bounty offer or an approved legal safe harbour.
A qualified security and legal review must settle testing permission, response handling, disclosure timing and any safe-harbour wording. No payment, reward or immunity is promised. This text is not an approved account, subscription, privacy, cancellation, acceptable-use, copyright, complaints, safety or security policy, is not legal advice and is not accepted anywhere in the current service. General public registration, live paid checkout and public pupil-facing AI remain closed. Approved adult-managed testers have a separate controlled route, including uploads, tutoring and owner-only sandbox payments; this draft does not authorise that route. See the legal and trust status for the documents that apply to today's public preview.

Report safely
Send a credible report to security@how2revise.com. Use a plain description first. Do not attach live secrets, schoolwork or personal information unless an authorised responder asks for a protected transfer method.
For immediate danger to a person, call 999. For a privacy complaint rather than a technical weakness, use the privacy notice. For a child-safety concern, use safeguarding help.
What to include
- the affected public address or feature;
- a concise description of the weakness and expected security impact;
- safe, minimal reproduction steps using only an account and data you control;
- the browser, device or request conditions if relevant; and
- a safe way to reply.
Replace tokens, credentials, email addresses, names and pupil material with redacted or synthetic examples. Do not send a database copy, password, API key, full session cookie, payment-card data or an image of real schoolwork through ordinary email.
Do not
- access, change, download or retain another person's account or information;
- test with a real child, real pupil profile or real schoolwork;
- use phishing, credential stuffing, malware, denial of service, spam or physical attacks;
- defeat rate or cost limits at scale, disrupt availability or degrade another visitor's experience;
- contact a pupil, school, provider worker or unrelated third party;
- demand money, threaten disclosure or publish exploit details before a safe resolution; or
- assume this draft grants legal permission or immunity for conduct that would otherwise be unlawful.
Proposed handling
- Restrict the report to authorised security responders and acknowledge it using a reference.
- Preserve the minimum evidence, remove exposed secrets and protect any unexpectedly received personal information.
- Triage impact without asking the reporter to retrieve more real data.
- Contain, correct and verify the weakness, including provider notification where required.
- Explain the outcome and coordinate any public disclosure only after affected people and systems are protected.
No response-time promise is published because a named monitored owner and continuity cover have not been verified. The final page must publish only a target the company can staff and must connect to a tested incident, breach-assessment and notification process.
Scope today
The current scope is the public content, manual Reset and guided Biology practice at www.how2revise.com. Accounts, paid profiles, checkout, real uploads and pupil-facing AI are closed, so no researcher should try to activate or simulate them in production. Provider dashboards, staff accounts, other ECOMMERCE ONLINE LTD products and third-party websites are outside this page.
No bounty or public-disclosure promise
How2Revise has not established a paid vulnerability programme. This candidate promises no reward, reimbursement, legal immunity, credit or publication timetable. A final coordinated- disclosure policy may recognise good-faith help only after qualified review and operational ownership are complete.
Machine-readable route
The site also publishes /.well-known/security.txt. It exposes a mailbox only when branded mailboxes are enabled; otherwise it points to this safe public route. The record is not evidence that a staffed response target or bounty exists.
Approval still required
Independent security review, named incident ownership, protected evidence transfer, breach response, provider escalation, record retention and legal safe-harbour wording remain unresolved. This candidate has no effective date.
