Privacy policy

Last updated: November 12, 2026

Hush City (hush.city) is a Mushy PsyNoir project. This page explains what information the site handles and why. To reach us, use the Contact us link at the bottom of the site.

At the front door

• Date of birth. The date you enter is checked on your own device. It is not sent to us and we do not store it. Your device remembers for 30 days that you passed.
• Human check. We use Cloudflare Turnstile to keep bots out. Cloudflare looks at signals from your browser to do this. We keep a cookie saying you passed.

Your account

If you join, we store your display name, your email address, a scrambled (hashed) version of your password, the invitation code you used, and when your access ends. We cannot read your password.

Who can join

Membership is by personal invitation, and invitations are given only to adults. We do not ask members for ID documents.

What you post or send

• The Board. Your posts are shown to other members under your display name. If you report a post, we record that you reported it.
• Soundtrack submissions. We store the track title, artist name and links you send. If your track is chosen, the title, artist name and Spotify link are shown publicly.
• Contact messages. Your name, email address and message are emailed to our inbox so we can reply.

Cookies and device storage

We use a sign-in cookie, a cookie for the human check, and a note on your device that you passed the age gate. We do not use advertising or tracking cookies.

Other companies involved

• Cloudflare hosts the site, protects it, and sends our emails.
• Google Fonts supplies the lettering, so your browser contacts Google to load it.
• Our video host plays the videos, and may set its own cookies when a video loads.

We do not sell your information. We share it only where the law requires us to.

Keeping and deleting

We keep your account information for as long as you have an account. To have your account and posts deleted, or to see or correct what we hold about you, send us a message through Contact us.

Under 18

Hush City is for adults aged 18 and over. If we learn that a member is under 18, we remove the account.

Changes

If this policy changes, we will update this page and the date at the top.
