What we keep, what we don’t.
Stay Hushed is built around a single quiet promise: we collect as little about you as we can. No accounts, no tracking pixels, no advertising network. The site exists for a reading experience, not for a data pipeline.
What we collect automatically
- Standard server logs (IP address, browser, page requested, time of request) for security and performance, retained for up to 30 days.
- Anonymous, aggregated usage counts (how many people read a given story, how long it took) — not tied to identity.
What we do not collect
- Names, accounts, or login data — there are no accounts.
- Reading progress, bookmarks, or personal preferences.
- Anything you type into a story’s free-input prompt is sent to a language model to generate a reply, then discarded. We do not retain it.
Cookies
The site sets no marketing or third-party tracking cookies. A small first-party cookie may be used to remember a session for the duration of a visit; nothing is shared with external advertisers.
If you write to us, we keep the email so we can reply. If you ask to be told when new stories arrive, we keep your address until you ask us to remove it. Write to privacy@stayhushed.com at any time.
Children
Stay Hushed is intended for an adult audience. We do not knowingly collect information from anyone under 16.
Your rights
You may ask us what we have, ask us to delete it, or ask us to stop using it. Email privacy@stayhushed.com.

If this policy changes, the date at the top will change with it. The spirit will not.
