At temp-mails, your privacy is our absolute highest priority. Our entire service is built around the concept of protecting your personal data and keeping your online identity secure. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle data when you use our free secure and disposable temporary email service.
1. Data Storage and Email Deletion
The core purpose of our service is to be temporary and disposable. Therefore, we strictly adhere to a zero-permanent-storage policy regarding your communications:
- Automatic Deletion: All emails received at your temporary email address are stored temporarily on our secure servers and are permanently and irretrievably deleted after 2 hours (or sooner if you manually click the "Delete" button).
- No Backups: We do not keep archives, backups, or hidden copies of your received emails once they are wiped from the active inbox.
- No Accounts: We do not require registration, passwords, or personal details to use our service, ensuring you remain entirely anonymous.
2. Logging and IP Addresses
We believe in true online anonymity. We do not log, track, or permanently store your IP address when you generate a temporary email address. We do not monitor your browsing activity or keep history logs of the specific inbox addresses you generate.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
To make our website function smoothly, we use minimal, non-intrusive cookies and browser local storage. As indicated by our cookie consent banner at the bottom of the screen, these are used exclusively for core website functionality:
- Session Management: To securely link your current browser session to the active temporary email address displayed on your screen.
- User Preferences: To remember your UI choices, such as your Dark Mode toggle and language selections.
- Cookie Consent: To remember that you have already agreed to our cookie policy, so the banner does not interrupt you on future visits.
4. Third-Party Services
To keep our service 100% free for everyone, we may display advertisements provided by third-party vendors (such as Google AdSense). These vendors may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website or other websites across the internet. You can opt out of personalized third-party advertising by visiting the respective ad network's privacy settings.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our technology or global legal requirements. Any updates will be posted transparently on this page.
