These terms govern your use of EDX Security Hub (edxsecurityhub.org), including every tool, course, guide and account feature on the platform. By creating an account or using this site, you accept these terms in full. If you do not accept them, do not create an account or use the service.
EDX Security Hub is a free cybersecurity education platform operated under the protection of Tyrant Softwares. References to "EDX", "we", "us" and "the platform" throughout these terms mean EDX Security Hub and its operating entity.
You must be at least 13 years old to create an account. By creating an account you confirm you meet this requirement. If you are under 18, you should only use this platform with the knowledge and approval of a parent or guardian.
You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity carried out under your account. You must provide a valid, working email address when you sign up. Accounts registered with invalid or nonexistent email addresses are banned automatically and without warning.
We may restrict, suspend or permanently ban any account that breaks these terms, abuses the platform, or poses a risk to the site or its users. Restrictions may include blocking the email address, the username, the IP address, or any combination of these. You may submit one appeal per restriction through the appeal system provided.
To run accounts and keep the platform secure, we collect the following:
We process account data to perform the service you signed up for (contract), security and abuse-prevention data to protect our legitimate interests in keeping the platform and its users safe, and support communications based on the requests you send us. By creating an account you consent to this processing as described in these terms.
We use minimal browser storage to keep you signed in and remember your session. We do not use advertising cookies or third-party analytics trackers. Referral codes you enter are stored locally on your device only until they are applied to your account.
We do not sell or share your personal data with anyone for marketing or commercial purposes. We rely on service providers to operate the platform: hosting, our database provider, and our email provider — each processes data only to deliver their service under their own security standards. We may disclose data where legally required by law enforcement or a valid court order, or where necessary to protect the rights, property or safety of the platform, its users, or others.
Account data is kept while your account exists. Security and traffic logs are retained for up to 12 months for abuse prevention and ban enforcement. Support messages, appeals and their outcome records are kept for the same purpose. Deleting your account removes your profile and associated data, except records we must keep for security enforcement.
You can request access to, correction of, or deletion of your personal data by contacting [email protected] from your registered email address. Accounts that are banned or restricted may have requests reviewed manually before any data is released or deleted, to prevent abuse of the deletion process.
You agree not to:
Attempts to circumvent restrictions are monitored, logged, and may result in additional measures including network-level blocking.
All content on EDX Security Hub — courses, guides, tools and scripts — is provided for educational and defensive purposes only. You are solely responsible for how you use what you learn here. We do not encourage, endorse or support any illegal activity, and we accept no liability for how the material on this platform is used or misused by anyone.
The platform, its design, its written content and its code are the property of EDX Security Hub and Tyrant Softwares. You may view and use them for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not copy, redistribute, republish or resell our content or code without written permission.
The service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We aim to keep the platform running but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Features, tools and content may be added, changed or removed at any time.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, EDX Security Hub and Tyrant Softwares accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from your use of, or inability to use, the platform or its content. This includes indirect or consequential losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
You agree to indemnify and hold EDX Security Hub and Tyrant Softwares harmless from any claim, demand, or loss arising from your breach of these terms or your use of the platform.
We may update these terms from time to time. The current version is always published on this page with its update date. Significant changes will be announced on the platform. Continued use of the platform after an update means you accept the revised terms.
These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any dispute relating to them falls under the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
