Privacy Policy

Introduction

Welcome to our Free Temporary Email Address Generator service. We are committed to protecting your privacy and ensuring that your personal information remains secure. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you use our disposable email service, anonymous inbox features, and developer API.

Our temporary email service is designed with privacy-first principles, providing you with a secure, anonymous way to receive emails without compromising your personal information.

Information We Collect

🔹 No Personal Information Required

Unlike traditional email services, our temporary email generator operates on a zero-registration policy. We do NOT collect:

• Your real name or personal identity
• Phone numbers or contact information
• Permanent email addresses
• Payment information (our service is completely free)
• Social media profiles or accounts

🔹 Automatically Collected Data

To provide our disposable email service, we temporarily collect:

• Temporary Email Address: Generated randomly for your session
• Inbox Messages: Emails received at your temporary address (auto-deleted)
• Session Data: Browser session information for service functionality
• Technical Logs: IP addresses, browser type, and access times for security and anti-abuse purposes

How We Use Your Information

We use the minimal data we collect solely to:

• Generate and maintain your temporary email address during your session
• Receive and display incoming messages in your disposable inbox
• Prevent spam, abuse, and fraudulent activities
• Improve our service performance and user experience
• Comply with legal obligations and enforce our Terms of Service
• Provide API access to developers using Mail.tm integration

Data Storage & Security

🔒 Encryption & Protection

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your temporary email data:

• SSL/TLS Encryption: All data transmitted between your browser and our servers is encrypted
• Secure Servers: Our infrastructure uses secure, monitored servers with regular security updates
• No Third-Party Sharing: We never sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes
• Anonymous Browsing: Your session is not linked to any permanent identifier

⏱️ Data Retention

Our temporary email service operates on strict data retention policies:

• Temporary Emails: Automatically deleted after expiration (10 minutes to 24 hours)
• Message Content: Permanently removed when the email address expires
• Session Data: Cleared when you close your browser or after 24 hours of inactivity
• Technical Logs: Retained for up to 30 days for security and troubleshooting purposes only

API & Mail.tm Integration

Our service integrates with Mail.tm API to provide temporary email functionality. When using our API:

• API requests are processed through secure HTTPS connections
• Authentication tokens are temporary and expire after your session
• API usage is subject to rate limits to prevent abuse
• Developer API keys are not linked to personal information
• All API data follows the same auto-delete policies as our web service

Cookies & Tracking Technologies

We use minimal cookies and tracking technologies to ensure service functionality:

• Session Cookies: Essential for maintaining your temporary email session
• Preference Cookies: Remember your settings (e.g., theme, language)
• Analytics Cookies: Help us understand how users interact with our service (anonymized)

You can control cookie preferences through your browser settings. For more details, see our Cookie Policy.

Your Privacy Rights

In accordance with GDPR and international privacy regulations, you have the following rights:

Third-Party Services

We may use the following third-party services to enhance our temporary email platform:

These services have their own privacy policies and data handling practices. We only work with providers that respect user privacy.
