Privacy Policy

Last updated October 22, 2026

The Short Version

• The HushTuck app has no analytics, no crash reporting and no account. It sends limited data only to check for updates and to manage your license, including a label for your Mac when you activate it. The details are below.
• Your recordings stay on your Mac, in the folder you choose. We never see them.
• This website sets no cookies and has no tracking. Our web host counts visits from its own records, and we see only totals.
• When you buy HushTuck, our payment provider handles your payment and emails you your license key. We get your name, email and order details so we can deliver your license and help you.
• We don't sell your information or use it for advertising.

Who We Are

HushTuck is made by SuperShy Entertainment LLC, doing business as SuperShy Software ("we", "us"). This policy covers the HushTuck app for macOS and the website at hushtuck.com. If you have a question about it, email hello@hushtuck.com.

The HushTuck App

What Stays on Your Mac

• Recordings. HushTuck saves recordings as video files in the folder you choose. They are never uploaded or sent anywhere by HushTuck.
• Settings. Your choices, such as recording quality, your save folder and where your recording queue is kept, are stored in HushTuck's preferences on your Mac.
• Your recording queue. The list of pages you queue for recording is a file on your Mac.
• Your license key. Once you activate HushTuck, your key is kept in your Mac's Keychain.
• A diagnostic log. HushTuck keeps a log of what it does, such as recordings starting and stopping, to help fix problems. It stays on your Mac, in Library/Logs/HushTuck, unless you choose to send it to us.

What the App Sends

HushTuck goes online for two things only: checking for updates and managing your license.

Update checks. Once a day, and whenever you choose Check for Updates, HushTuck asks hushtuck.com whether a newer version is available. That request includes the app's name and version number and, like any request on the internet, your IP address. Our website host handles it as described under "This website" below. It doesn't include anything about you, your Mac or your recordings. If an update is available and you choose to install it, HushTuck downloads it from hushtuck.com and checks its signature before installing.

Your license. Our payment provider issues and manages license keys, so HushTuck talks to it directly:

• When you activate HushTuck on a Mac, it sends your license key, the app's version number and a label, so you can tell your Macs apart in your list of activations. The label is your Mac's model and a short random code made on that Mac, such as "MacBook Pro · 59F6". It doesn't include your Mac's name.
• About once a week, HushTuck sends your key and an identifier for this Mac's activation to check that the license is still active.
• When you deactivate HushTuck on a Mac, it sends the same key and identifier so that Mac's slot is freed.

Like any request on the internet, these include your IP address. They don't include anything about your recordings or how you use HushTuck.

HushTuck doesn't use any analytics, advertising or crash reporting service. If a future version sends anything else, we'll update this policy before that version ships and describe exactly what it sends.

Permissions HushTuck Asks For

macOS asks for your permission before HushTuck can do any of these, and you can turn each one off at any time in System Settings.

• Screen and System Audio Recording, to record the picture and sound of the app or window you choose.
• Microphone, only if you turn on microphone recording.
• Automation of Safari, only if you use the recording queue. HushTuck asks Safari to open the pages on your list and play them so it can record them.

When the recording queue opens a page in Safari, Safari loads it just as it would if you opened it yourself, and the website you visit sees that visit under its own privacy policy. We don't see your list or the pages you visit.

This Website

• Hosting. hushtuck.com is hosted by Netlify. Like any web host, Netlify receives standard information from your browser when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, the page requested and the time, and uses it to deliver and protect the site. Netlify handles it under its own privacy policy.
• Visit counts. Netlify also uses that information to count visits for us: how many people visit, which pages they view, which site linked them here and roughly where they are, such as their country. We see only these totals, never a list of individual visitors, and we don't use them for advertising.
• No cookies or tracking. The site sets no cookies, runs no analytics code in your browser and doesn't use advertising or tracking tools.
• No third-party requests. Our fonts and images are served from hushtuck.com itself, so your browser doesn't contact anyone else when you read the site.

If we add any other way of measuring visits, or any advertising tools, we'll update this policy first.

Buying HushTuck

Purchases are handled by our payment provider, which acts as the reseller (the "merchant of record") for your order and is named at checkout. It collects what it needs to take your payment, calculate tax, prevent fraud and send you your license key, such as your name, email address, billing country and payment details, under its own privacy policy.

We receive your name, email address, country and order details so we can deliver your license, process refunds and support you. We never see or store your full card number.

When You Email Us

If you email us, we keep your message and our reply so we can help you and follow up. We use your email address only to reply to you. We don't add you to a mailing list unless you ask to join one.

How We Use and Share Information

We use the information described here only to sell and deliver HushTuck, support you, meet our legal and tax obligations, and keep our services secure. We don't sell or rent your personal information, and we don't use it for advertising.

We share it only with the services that help us run HushTuck (our payment provider, which also sends license keys, our website host and our email provider), and only as needed for them to do that work, or when the law requires it.

How Long We Keep It

We keep order records for as long as you have a license, plus as long as tax and accounting law requires. We keep support emails for as long as they help us support you, then delete them. You can ask us to delete your information sooner, and we will unless the law requires us to keep it.

Your Choices and Rights

Wherever you live, you can ask us to show you the personal information we hold about you, correct it, delete it or give you a copy. Email hello@hushtuck.com and we'll respond within 30 days. Depending on where you live, you may also have the right to object to how we use your information or to complain to your local data protection authority.

Where Your Information Is Processed

We are based in the United States, and the services we use may process information in the United States and other countries. When we transfer information from outside the United States, we rely on the safeguards our providers offer for those transfers.

Children

HushTuck and this website are not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we'll delete it.

Changes to This Policy

When we change this policy, we'll post the new version here with a new date. If a change affects how the app handles your information, we'll say so in the release notes of the version that makes it.
