Privacy Policy

Last updated: November 2026

The short version

HushTally exists so groups can answer honestly. Votes are anonymous by design: we never show anyone — including the person who asked the question, and including the group's creator — who chose which answer. We collect only what the app needs to work, we don't sell data, and we don't show ads.

What we collect

• Account info: your email address (used to sign in with a one-time code), your display name, and optionally your phone number.
• Group data: the groups you belong to, members you invite (name and phone number you enter for them), questions, and votes.
• Device token: if you allow notifications, a push token so the app can notify you about new questions and results.

How anonymity works

When you vote, your choice is stored separately from your identity. We record that you voted (so the group can see how many votes are in and so you can't vote twice), but your name is never connected to which answer you picked. Results are shown only as pooled totals.

What we don't do

• We don't sell or share your personal information with advertisers.
• We don't read your contacts — when you invite someone from Contacts, your phone's system picker shares only the single contact you choose.
• We don't show individual answers to anyone, ever.

Where data lives

Your data is stored with our hosting provider (Supabase) in the United States, protected by industry-standard encryption in transit and at rest.

Deleting your data

You can delete your account at any time inside the app (Profile → Delete Account). This permanently removes your profile, your memberships, and any groups you created. You can also email us at support@hushtally.app and we'll take care of it.

Children

HushTally is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll post the update here with a new date.
