Terms of use

What this is

psst.tr gives you a link. Anyone who opens it can send you a question, a confession or a drawing without making an account, and it arrives in your inbox with no name on it. It is run by one person as a personal project, for free, and it is invite only.

You must be 18 or over

psst.tr is not for children. By using it you confirm you are 18 or older. We cannot verify this, which is exactly why it matters that you are honest about it. If we are told an account belongs to someone under 18, we will remove it.

Anonymous to them, not untraceable

The person receiving your message never sees who you are. That is not the same as leaving no trace. Turkish law (Law No. 5651) requires us to keep traffic records — your IP address, the time, and your browser's user-agent — for every message sent. We keep them for two years and then delete them automatically. If a court or prosecutor lawfully demands them, we hand them over.

Anyone who tells you an anonymous messaging service operated from Turkey is untraceable is either mistaken or lying. Write accordingly.

What you may not send

Some of this is caught automatically before it reaches anyone. Do not treat what gets through the filter as permission.

Reporting, and what we do about it

Every message, every reply-wall card and every public page has a report button. Reports reach a human. We aim to look within 24 hours and we keep a record of what was reported, when, and what we did. If content breaks these rules we remove it. If an account keeps breaking them we ban it.

Invites, and why a ban can spread

You can only join with an invite from an existing member, and you get a limited number to hand out. If an account is used for coordinated abuse, we may ban not only that account but the accounts it invited, and the accounts those invited. We look at each one before doing it, and we can undo any of them individually — but understand that vouching for someone is a real thing here, not a formality.

Your account

Your handle is yours while you have it, and it is never reissued to anyone else if you leave. You are responsible for what you post publicly on your reply wall. You can delete any message you receive at any time.

No guarantees

This is a free personal project, provided as-is. It may break, lose data, or stop existing. Do not use it for anything that matters more than it can bear.
