Local launch procedureThe safety address is being connected and must be tested before accounts open.

1. Safety by design

  • No public student profiles, social feed, comments, direct messages, friend system, leaderboards or location features.
  • Lessons can be used without creating a public identity.
  • No behavioural advertising or pressure to share extra information.
  • Administrative access is restricted and sensitive actions are logged.
  • The current direct account route is for learners aged 16 or over.

2. For students

  • Never put an address, password, medical information or another person’s private information into an answer.
  • Do not share a magic sign-in email or an active session.
  • If content or account activity worries you, stop and tell a trusted adult.
  • Practice feedback is an estimate, not a judgement of ability or an official grade.

3. Report a safety concern

Email safety@bytesizenotes.com. Include only what is needed: the page or account concerned, what happened, when it happened and a safe way to reply. Do not send passwords or unnecessary private information.

The inbox is checked on working days and is not an emergency service. ByteSizeNotes aims to acknowledge a report within one working day.

4. What happens next

  1. The operator reads the report and checks whether anyone appears to be at immediate risk.
  2. Only the minimum relevant information is kept in a restricted record.
  3. ByteSizeNotes may restrict an account or preserve relevant technical evidence while checking the concern.
  4. If the concern is serious, it may be referred to an appropriate school, platform provider or authority. Confidentiality cannot be promised where disclosure is needed to protect someone.
  5. The reporter receives a practical update when it is safe and lawful to provide one.

5. Urgent help

If someone may be in immediate danger, contact a trusted adult and the appropriate emergency service now. In Cyprus and across the EU, call 112. ByteSizeNotes is not a counselling or emergency service.
