We hold as little about you as the service physically allows. When someone asks for it, there is usually very little to hand over. This page is the honest ledger of the legal requests we receive and exactly how we answer them.
The best answer to a legal request is having nothing responsive to give. We do not ask for identity documents, we bill in Monero rather than named cards, and we do not retain access logs, request logs, or traffic records that would let us reconstruct who did what. That is not a promise to obstruct the law — it is an architecture that produces less to disclose in the first place.
HushVPS operates as an offshore-legal, data-minimising host. We answer valid orders from a competent court in our hosting jurisdiction, and we say no to requests that are overbroad, improper, or that ask for data we simply do not have. Our privacy policy spells out the short list of things we do keep to run the service.
The figures below are maintained by the operator and must reflect reality. Where a real value is not yet published, you will see a placeholder rather than an invented number — we do not fabricate transparency statistics.
| Request type | Received | Complied |
|---|---|---|
| Court orders (hosting jurisdiction) | Not yet reported | Not yet reported |
| Abuse / takedown notices | Not yet reported | Not yet reported |
| Informal data requests | Not yet reported | Not yet reported |
| Secret / gag orders | See the canary | — |
Gag orders cannot be reported as a number here — that is what the warrant canary exists to signal instead.
We respond only to lawful, properly served orders from a competent court in our hosting jurisdiction. Emails demanding data without legal weight get a polite no.
Overbroad, vague, or improper requests are challenged. We narrow scope and reject fishing expeditions before anything is handed over.
We cannot surrender data we never collected. If it was never logged, there is no record to compel — see the privacy policy for the exact list.
Where the law permits, we tell the affected customer before or after disclosure. When a gag order forbids that, the warrant canary does the talking.
Transparency only means something when you can check it. Read the live canary, then see how little we ask for in the first place.
