YourSecretHookup
“Always keeps your real identity hidden so you don’t have to divulge anything until you’re totally comfortable.” That is the front page of YourSecretHookup describing its own messaging system, and it is the promise the name is built on. A different part of the site is just as exact about the limits of what is being offered. Under the heading Description of Service, the terms say “This is not a Site for meeting real individuals or arranging in-person encounters.”
The homepage headline reads “Your Fun Dating, Hookup and Swingers Site with Style”, and the copy under it calls the place “an online adult community that’s designed for you to meet and hang out with likeminded singles and couples”. Signing up takes an email address, an age and a zip, and drops you into a wall of member photos. Past that it is a monthly subscription product. The site’s own help page reserves private photos for premium members, and lists unlimited messaging and the instant messenger among the things an upgrade unlocks.

Four shots of the site: the homepage, a references panel, the contact page and the Top Members grid. Open the contact one, because that page is one route the terms give you for getting out of a membership.
Signing Up, Renewing And Cancelling
Registration itself costs nothing. The help page says a free member “has access to a limited amount of features”, that private photos are “displayed only to premium members”, and that an upgraded member can “send unlimited messages” and use the instant messenger.
The paid side opens with a trial. The help page says “Our trial lets you explore any paid plan for 24 hours” and that “After your trial ends, you’ll automatically move to a paid subscription”. It also says a transaction you may notice straight after signing up “is a pending authorization request and not an actual direct charge”. Debit, credit and prepaid cards are all accepted, and prepaid users are “eligible for a monthly or yearly plan only, without a trial period option”.
Renewal is set out in capitals in the terms: “UNTIL TERMINATED, THE SITE MAY AUTOMATICALLY RENEW ALL PAID MEMBERSHIPS UPON THEIR EXPIRATION.”
The terms ask for “a written request” sent to support@yoursecrethookup.com or through the contact form, and the window “shall end twenty-four (24) hours before the expiration of your Premium Membership”. Two other figures sit in the same document: a “convenience fee of up to $4.99” where a payment cannot be processed, and “an additional service charge of $50” on top of collection charges if an account is passed to a collections agency. Any virtual items bought on the site “expire after 3 months”.
On what lands on the statement, the site’s own help page says: “The descriptor displayed next to the charge is very discreet, and you will not see Yoursecrethookup’s name appear on your billing statement.” The terms never name the payment processor, promising only that the line “will indicate the Site’s payment processing agent”. The cookie policy is where a name surfaces: it lists eight cookies set on the domain .authbill.com.
What Their Documents Say About Who Is On The Other End
The Description of Service section of the terms states: “This is not a Site for meeting real individuals or arranging in-person encounters. The purpose of this Site is to enable flirting chat conversations between the Users.” It adds that all interactions on the site “are virtual and should be treated as such”.
A separate clause in the same document covers who some of those conversations are with. It says “the Site may create and maintain some AI profiles on the Site in order to keep a continuous level of interactions during low attendance hours”, that the text and pictures in them “do not pertain to any actual person”, and that “Messages sent from our company-managed profiles may be automatically generated with no human involvement, and/or may be generated by third parties hired or contracted by us”. The clause closes by saying those profiles “are identified by a green dot containing a white heart icon”.
The top of the terms deals with where a profile can travel. Members “may be part of an online community that includes other websites owned by the Company”, and “with your consent, we may use your profile on yoursecrethookup.com to populate registration and profile information on the Affiliate Websites”. No Affiliate Website is named. Three other brands do carry the same operator in their own paperwork, the same six-item legal footer and the same billing cookies: kinkyswipe.com, hushlove.com and yourlocalhookup.com.
The homepage promise about keeping your real identity hidden is about what other members can see. The privacy policy addresses a different audience: it lists “third-party marketing companies: to send users selected marketing”, naming email marketers, telemarketers, text-message-based marketers, direct marketers and online advertising networks, and states the company is “not responsible for the information practices of these third parties”. The terms add that you “will not be able to opt out of receiving such communications”.
Refunds are stated twice and not identically. The membership section says fees “are non-refundable” and that “ALL PURCHASES ARE FINAL”. The refunds section repeats that purchases are non-refundable, then adds that “refund requests may be granted only in exceptional cases”. For EU residents, withdrawal rights “ARE LOST UPON THE COMPLETION OF YOUR PAYMENT”.
The company is named openly and consistently across every document. The Cyprus register carries KARNEOLIS LIMITED under registration number 403308 with its status shown as “Reminder letter sent”, and the domain itself was registered on 25 November 2016, nearly three years before that company existed.
Questions People Ask Before Signing Up
What is YourSecretHookup?
It is an adult chat and dating site pitched at singles, couples and swingers, run from Cyprus and used in a browser rather than through an app. Opening an account takes an email address and lets you look around, but the parts people join for, private photos and the messenger, sit on the paid side. Its own terms describe the point of the place as flirting conversation that stays online rather than a route to arranging a date in person.
What shows up on your bank statement for YourSecretHookup?
The site tells you in advance that the wording beside the charge is deliberately discreet and that its brand name will not be printed there. It never publishes the actual string, and the terms promise only that the line will point at whichever payment agent it uses. The one name that surfaces in its own paperwork is in the cookie policy, which declares eight cookies dropped by authbill.com, so that is the billing stack sitting behind the join form. In practice that means someone reading the statement sees a line they do not recognise rather than nothing at all.
Is YourSecretHookup free to join?
Yes, an account itself costs nothing, and the button on the front page says Join Free. What that account gets is limited by the site’s own description of it: private photos are reserved for upgraded members, and unlimited messaging plus the instant messenger are listed as things an upgrade unlocks. There is also a 24 hour trial, which the site says moves you onto a paid subscription by itself once the day is up.
Does YourSecretHookup charge you again automatically?
Yes. The terms keep the right to roll a paid membership over month after month until it is ended, and they put that sentence in capitals. The trial works the same way: the help page describes it converting into a subscription on its own after 24 hours. So the date worth writing down is the one a full day before your current period runs out, because that is when the window to stop the next charge closes.
How do you cancel YourSecretHookup?
You ask in writing. For a Premium Membership the terms set out a written request to the support address, or the contact form, which carries a Membership Cancellation subject option you can see without logging in. The deadline is a full day before your current period expires, so a membership rolling over on the 14th needs the request in by the 13th. A trial is handled under a separate clause, which says a trial becomes a monthly subscription unless you cancel before the trial period ends, “by using the online tools and instructions provided by our payment processing agent(s) or contacting the Site’s customer service”.
Are the profiles on YourSecretHookup real people?
The terms disclose that the company may create and run some AI profiles to keep activity going during quiet hours, that the life details attached to them are invented, and that messages from those profiles can be produced automatically with no person involved, or by contractors working for the company. The same clause says profiles of that kind carry a green dot with a white heart on them. Separately, the site describes itself as a place for flirting online rather than for arranging to meet. The documents put no number and no share on how many profiles are company-run.
Your Turn
If you have had an account on this one, the poll and the box below are yours. Did the discretion hold, or did your profile turn up somewhere you had not put it? Were there couples and swingers on there, the way the front page promises? When you emailed to cancel, did an answer come before the window shut? And if the same join form was waiting for you on kinkyswipe, hushlove or yourlocalhookup, say so.
