The beta rules

Your invitation is the permission to test our systems; stop at proving a finding, leave other people's data and other companies alone.

acada.ac/beta/rules

Open it

Your invitation is the written permission section 6 of the Acceptable Use Policy asks for before anyone tests our systems. Good-faith research inside these rules is safe: we will not report it, sue over it or close your account for it.

In scope

  • Everything at acada.ac: the pages, /api/*, the Supabase endpoints the app calls, the storage buckets, the emails the app sends, and what the policies promise.
  • Your own accounts, and test accounts you declared in the ACADA Beta room.
  • Reading, changing or doing anything your role should not be able to.

Out of scope

Other people's data
If you reach something that is not yours, stop at proving it: one record, a screenshot, a report. Do not read on, copy, change or delete.
Availability
No flooding, load testing, filling storage or exhausting rate limits for their own sake. One request that proves a limit is missing is enough.
Other companies
Stripe, PayPal, Supabase, Vercel, Resend, Sentry, Anthropic and Google are not ours to test.
People
No social engineering of us or other testers, no phishing, no physical access.
Spam
No mass messages, emails, reports or sign-ups. Test anti-abuse controls with one or two.
Publishing
Nothing about a finding leaves the private channel until we say it is fixed, or for 90 days, whichever comes first. Then write it up, with credit.

What we promise

  • A reply within 2 business days, Critical and High fixed before other work, and a note when the fix is live.
  • Credit, if you want it, on a security acknowledgements line at launch.

The beta runs on the live database, shared with other testers and, at launch, with everyone. Make test data you would be happy to see published, and keep destructive tests to accounts you own. Hold anything that needs to hammer the site until a separate copy is announced.

Checked against the app on 17 October 2026. If something here no longer matches what you see, say so below.
