FAQ

Is HushVault a porn site?

No. HushVault is an adults‑only privacy tool — a place to store personal media privately so it doesn’t show up in a shared camera roll, family tablet, or “memories” widget.

Does HushVault read my Google Photos library?

No. Google Sign‑In is used only to authenticate you. You choose what to upload to HushVault.

Can HushVault delete photos from my phone or Google Photos?

Not reliably from a website. Web apps can’t safely control your device storage or third‑party photo apps. We provide a quick cleanup checklist, and the planned Android app will make device‑side cleanup much smoother.

What types of files can I upload?

Common image and video formats work best (JPG/PNG/WebP, MP4/MOV). If something won’t upload, it’s usually an unsupported format or a size limit.

What does “blurred previews” mean?

Your vault shows privacy‑safe blurred thumbnails by default. You can still open files normally, but casual glances don’t reveal what’s inside.

What does “encryption at rest” mean here?

When enabled, files are stored encrypted on the server and unlocked using a key derived from your Vault PIN. If you forget your PIN, we can’t recover encrypted files.

Can my partner or spouse access my vault?

Only if you intentionally share your sign‑in. HushVault doesn’t auto‑share anything. If you share devices at home, we strongly recommend using the Vault PIN + auto‑lock.

Is HushVault affiliated with Google?

No. We’re an independent service. Google Sign‑In is used for authentication only.

What content is not allowed?

Anything illegal, non‑consensual, or involving minors — ever. We have zero tolerance. See the Acceptable Use Policy for details.
