Overthink It takes the security of its platform and the protection of user information seriously. This Security & Responsible Disclosure Policy explains how security researchers and users should report suspected security vulnerabilities affecting Overthink It.
Overthink It encourages responsible security research that helps identify and resolve vulnerabilities without exposing users, private conversations, personal information, or platform systems to unnecessary risk.
This Policy supplements the Overthink It Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, Safety & Reporting Policy, Community Guidelines, Copyright / DMCA Policy, Age & Child Safety Policy, and other applicable policies.
If you believe you have identified a security vulnerability in Overthink It, report it privately through the security or contact channel designated by Overthink It.
Security testing should be limited to activity reasonably necessary to demonstrate the suspected vulnerability.
Researchers should:
Users and researchers must not use security testing as a justification to:
Overthink It may contain sensitive personal information, including private conversations, dating-related information, relationship discussions, photographs, profiles, and other user-submitted content.
If a vulnerability exposes information belonging to another person, researchers should:
Do not publish, sell, distribute, or otherwise redistribute another user's private information.
Overthink It is an 18+ service.
Because minors are not permitted to use Overthink It, researchers must not use security testing as a means to identify, locate, contact, or expose suspected minors.
Researchers must not intentionally:
If a vulnerability appears to expose information concerning a minor, report that fact promptly and privately to Overthink It.
Overthink It provides AI-powered features that may process user-submitted content.
Potential security vulnerabilities may involve:
Researchers should demonstrate such vulnerabilities using the minimum information and access reasonably necessary.
Do not intentionally use an AI vulnerability to obtain sensitive information belonging to another user.
Researchers may report vulnerabilities involving:
Do not take permanent control of another person's account.
If temporary access is reasonably necessary to demonstrate an authentication vulnerability, stop once the issue has been established and report it privately.
If you discover that Overthink It unintentionally exposes:
do not redistribute the information.
Report the exposure privately and provide enough information for Overthink It to identify the affected system.
Overthink It allows certain features to process user-provided material, including conversation screenshots, profiles, photographs, text, and other uploads.
Researchers should not use vulnerabilities in upload or processing systems to:
If an upload vulnerability exposes private information, stop testing after establishing the issue and report it privately.
Overthink It may depend on third-party providers for services such as:
Do not use an Overthink It vulnerability to attack or compromise a third-party system.
If you believe an issue originates with a third-party service, provide the relevant information to Overthink It where appropriate.
Overthink It may coordinate with the applicable provider.
Please do not publicly disclose a vulnerability before giving Overthink It a reasonable opportunity to investigate and address it.
Premature disclosure may expose users to:
Overthink It may request reasonable additional time when necessary to protect users or complete remediation.
A useful security report should include, when available:
Do not include unnecessary:
Overthink It may evaluate reported vulnerabilities based on factors such as:
Overthink It may prioritize reports involving active exploitation, account takeover, authentication bypass, or significant personal-data exposure.
Overthink It appreciates good-faith security research intended to improve the safety and reliability of the platform.
Reporting a vulnerability does not authorize activity that would otherwise violate the Terms of Service or applicable law.
Nothing in this Policy creates a contractual promise that Overthink It will provide compensation, legal immunity, or a particular response unless Overthink It separately agrees to those terms.
Overthink It uses reasonable security measures, but no online service can guarantee that every vulnerability will be prevented or discovered.
Users and researchers should report suspected vulnerabilities rather than exploiting them for personal investigation, retaliation, financial benefit, or unauthorized access.
Overthink It may preserve or disclose information relating to security incidents when reasonably necessary for:
Such handling will be subject to applicable law and the Overthink It Privacy Policy.
When reporting a vulnerability, researchers should preserve only the information reasonably necessary to explain or reproduce the issue.
Do not retain unnecessary personal information, private conversations, credentials, or other sensitive material.
Overthink It may preserve relevant information when reasonably necessary for:
After reporting a vulnerability, Overthink It may request additional information or clarification.
Researchers are encouraged to cooperate reasonably with efforts to:
Researchers should not continue testing indefinitely after the vulnerability has been adequately demonstrated.
If you believe a vulnerability is actively being exploited, clearly identify that fact in your report.
Reports involving:
may receive elevated priority.
Do not attempt to investigate an active attack by compromising additional accounts or systems yourself.
Do not use Overthink It as a pathway to access accounts, systems, or services that you are not authorized to access.
If a vulnerability could allow access to another service, demonstrate the issue using the minimum activity reasonably necessary and report it privately.
Do not continue testing against the third-party service after the vulnerability has been established.
Do not use vulnerability reports to:
Good-faith reports that ultimately turn out to be incorrect are not automatically considered abuse.
Researchers remain responsible for complying with applicable law.
Nothing in this Policy authorizes:
Overthink It does not waive any legal rights or remedies by publishing this Policy.
Overthink It may update this Security & Responsible Disclosure Policy as:
The current version will be made available through Overthink It.
If you believe you have discovered a security vulnerability, report it privately through Overthink It's designated security or contact channel.
Provide enough information for Overthink It to investigate while avoiding unnecessary disclosure of sensitive information.
Do not publicly disclose the vulnerability before Overthink It has had a reasonable opportunity to investigate and respond.
Designated security / contact channel: [DESIGNATED SECURITY EMAIL / CHANNEL]
Find it → Minimize access → Stop testing → Report privately → Preserve only necessary evidence → Allow reasonable time for remediation.
Do not exploit a vulnerability against users, expose private information, disrupt the service, compromise accounts, or use security research to obtain unauthorized financial or personal benefit.
