Scope
- In scope:
www.schoolconsole.net, our customer-facing portal, the mobile applications, and the public APIs. - Out of scope: staff personal sites, social-media accounts, third-party services we integrate with (please report those to their vendors).
Safe harbour
We will not pursue legal action against researchers who:
- Make a good-faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data, and interruption of our service.
- Only interact with accounts you own or with explicit permission of the account holder.
- Don't exploit a finding beyond what's necessary to demonstrate it.
- Give us a reasonable window — typically 90 days — to remediate before public disclosure.
What we ask in your report
- A clear, reproducible description of the issue.
- Proof-of-concept (screenshots, video, or short script).
- Your assessment of impact.
- How we should credit you, if at all.
What you can expect from us
