This Privacy Policy explains how Hush Inc. ("Hush", "we" or "us") collect, use and share your information when you use our website, mobile application and other online products and services (we call all these the "Services") or when you otherwise interact with us.
We collect minimal information that can be used to maintain the Services for the users, and to generate revenue for continued maintenance, development and operation of the Services. At any point of using our Services we don't require you to give us your real name or exact age. We don't automatically track your precise location unless you expressly consent to it for enabling some of our Services. You can update information as you see fit and ask us to delete your information.
We may change this Privacy Policy from time to time. If we do, we will let you know by revising the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page or by providing you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you a notification wherever possible). If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy, please contact us at: legal@hush.ac
SECTION 1: HOW WE COLLECT AND USE INFORMATION
A. Information Provided to Us by You
- Account Information: When you use the mobile application, a username will be randomly assigned to you that you may change at any time. Your username is publicly displayed when you interact with the Services, such as when you post or send a direct message to another user. Please keep in mind that if your username contains your real name or is the same as how you identify yourself on other online services, people who see it may determine your identity. We may also ask you for, or you may choose to provide, additional information, such as age or gender, that will be associated with your account. This information may identify, relate to, describe, reference, is reasonably capable of being associated with, or could reasonably be linked, directly or indirectly, with a particular consumer, household, or device ("personal information"). Personal information does not include: (a) Publicly available information from government records; (b) Deidentified or aggregated consumer information; or (c) Information excluded from the California Consumer Protection Act's scope, like: (i) health or medical information covered by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA) and the California Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA) or clinical trial data; (ii) personal information covered by certain sector-specific privacy laws, including the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) or California Financial Information Privacy Act (FIPA), and the Driver's Privacy Protection Act of 1994.
- Content Submitted: We store the content you generate and submit while using the mobile application. This includes your posts, comments and your messages with other users. These may further include text, links, images, gifs, audio, videos and other media.
- Other: We may receive other information from you generated while communicating directly with us through channels including or other than the mobile application, such as our website, forms, promotions, advertisements, and third-party social media like Instagram and Facebook.
B. Automatically Collected Information
- Your Interactions: We store data on the actions you take when using the mobile application. This includes your interactions with posts, comments, chats and groups. Examples of such interactions include but are not limited to rating a chat, liking a post, reporting a post, favoriting a chat, blocking a chat, subscribing to a group, and group moderator status, if you have one.
- Location data: If you enable the location permissions when you use the mobile application, we will use your location to show content in the 'Nearby' section of the mobile application. The location will also be used for enabling other features of the mobile application. Further, the location could be used to show relevant advertising. In absence of location permissions, some of the location-dependent features of the mobile application may not work. However, for business purposes, such as showing advertisements, we may derive an approximate location based on your IP address. In such a case, your posts, comments, chat would not be associated with this derived, approximate location.
- Other Usage data: We collect and store some of the technical information pieces when you access and use our Services. This may include your IP address, user-agent string, browser type, operating system, referral URLs, device information (e.g., device IDs), device settings, mobile carrier name, pages visited, links clicked, the requested URL, and search terms.
For information about our terms of use, user content, and other legal matters, please see our Terms of Use.
