Privacy policy
Updated 14 November 2026
HUSHED publishes intimate true stories for adults. This policy says what we keep when you read, open an account, or send a story.
Account
If you create an account we keep your email address, a name and alias if you save them, the confirmation that you are 18 or older, and the date the account was opened. Your password is held by our sign-in provider in a form we cannot read back.
Session
A cookie keeps you signed in on this browser. It identifies your account on HUSHED. It is not used to follow you across other sites.
On this device
Brightness, language, the age check, shelves, and star ratings are stored in this browser. They are not copied to your account. Clearing the browser data removes them.
Stories you send
A submission may include a title, an optional place, and the story. You do not have to give your name or email. We keep the submission so it can be reviewed. If it is published, it is published without your name.
What we do not do
We do not sell personal information. We do not build advertising profiles from it. We do not knowingly let anyone under 18 enter.
How long we keep it
We keep an account until you ask us to delete it. A published story stays up without a link back to you. Information stored only in the browser stays until you clear it.
