Privacy Policy

1. Introduction

Welcome to TempMail. We respect your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle your information when you use our temporary email service.

TempMail provides disposable, temporary email addresses that allow you to receive emails without revealing your real email address. Our service is designed with privacy as a core principle.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 Email Data

When you use our service, we temporarily store:

• Temporary email addresses generated for your session
• Emails received at your temporary address
• Email metadata (sender, subject, timestamp)
• Session expiration time

Important: All email data is automatically deleted when your temporary email address expires (typically after 10 minutes) or when you generate a new address.

2.2 Technical Data

We may collect minimal technical information including:

• WebSocket connection data for real-time email delivery
• Browser type and version (via standard HTTP headers)
• IP address (temporarily, for service operation only)
• Access times and dates

2.3 What We Don't Collect

• We do NOT require registration or account creation
• We do NOT collect your real email address
• We do NOT track you across websites
• We do NOT use tracking cookies
• We do NOT store your personal information

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the collected information solely for:

• Providing the temporary email service
• Delivering emails to your temporary inbox in real-time
• Maintaining service security and preventing abuse
• Technical troubleshooting and service improvements

We do NOT sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Retention and Deletion

• Email Content: Automatically deleted after the temporary email address expires (default: 10 minutes)
• Session Data: Cleared when you close your browser or generate a new email address
• Technical Logs: Retained only for the minimum time necessary for service operation and security

Our automated cleanup process runs regularly to ensure all expired data is permanently removed from our systems.

5. Data Security

We implement appropriate technical measures to protect your data:

• WebSocket connections for secure real-time communication
• Automatic data expiration and deletion
• No long-term storage of personal information
• Regular security audits and updates

However, please note that emails received at your temporary address are stored temporarily in plain text and should not be considered a secure communication method for sensitive information.

6. Third-Party Services

Our service operates independently and does not integrate with third-party analytics, advertising, or tracking services. We do not share your data with third parties except as required by law.

7. Cookies and Local Storage

We use browser local storage to temporarily save your current temporary email address, allowing you to recover your session if you refresh the page. This data is stored only in your browser and can be cleared at any time.

We do not use tracking cookies or third-party cookies.

8. Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has used our service, please contact us.

9. Your Rights

You have the right to:

• Access any data we hold about you (which is minimal and temporary)
• Request deletion of your data (or simply wait for automatic expiration)
• Generate a new temporary email address at any time
• Stop using the service at any time

Since we don't store long-term personal data and all information expires automatically, exercising these rights is inherent to how our service operates.

10. International Data Transfers

Our service may be hosted on servers in various locations. By using TempMail, you consent to the transfer of your information to these locations. We ensure that all data handling complies with applicable privacy laws.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.

Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.

12. Legal Compliance

We may disclose information if required to do so by law or in response to valid requests by public authorities (e.g., a court or government agency). However, due to the temporary nature of our service, we typically have minimal data to disclose.
