Your privacy is critically important to us. This policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and your rights regarding your personal data when using Temp Mail.
1. Information We Collect
As a temporary email service, we aim to collect as little information as possible to protect your anonymity.
- Email Data: We store incoming emails for a maximum of 24 hours. After this period, or upon manual deletion by the user, the content is permanently purged from our servers.
- Log Data: Like most websites, we collect information that your browser sends whenever you visit our site, such as IP addresses, browser types, and pages visited.
- Account Data: If you choose to create a permanent account or subscribe to premium, we store your name, email, and subscription status.
2. Analytics and Cookies
We use third-party analytics tools, such as Google Analytics, to help us measure traffic and usage trends for the service. Google Analytics collects information sent by your browser as part of a web page request, including cookies and your IP address.
This information is used to improve our website experience and is handled according to Google's Privacy Policy. You can opt-out of Google Analytics by using the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.
3. Advertising and Google AdSense
We use third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit our website. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites in order to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.
Google, as a third-party vendor, uses cookies to serve ads on our site. Google's use of the DART cookie enables it to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and other sites on the Internet. Users may opt out of the use of the DART cookie by visiting the Google Ad and Content Network privacy policy.
4. How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect to:
- Provide, maintain, and improve our services.
- Monitor and analyze usage and trends.
- Protect against spam, abuse, and security threats.
- Manage your premium subscription and preferences.
5. Data Retention and Security
We implement robust security measures to protect your data. Temporary emails and their contents are automatically and permanently deleted from our database after 24 hours. We do not maintain backups of temporary messages.
6. Your Rights
You have the right to access, update, or delete your personal information at any time through your account settings. If you are a guest user, deleting your temporary email address effectively removes all associated data.
