Privacy Policy

Last updated: 29 July 2026.

This page describes what happens to data when you use Temp Mail Plus. It is written plainly because a policy nobody can read protects nobody.

The short version

We do not ask who you are. We do not have your name, your real email address or a password unless you choose to create an account. Mail sent to a temporary address is deleted automatically after a short period, and once deleted it is gone from our systems.

What we hold while you are using the service

The temporary address itself. Generated at random or chosen by you. It is linked to a random identifier stored in your browser so that the same address comes back when you reload the page. That identifier means nothing outside this site and is not shared with anyone.

Messages sent to that address. Sender, subject, body and any attachments, so that we can show them to you. We do not read them, scan them for advertising purposes or pass them to third parties.

Basic server logs. Standard web server records, including IP address and browser type, kept briefly to keep the service running and to deal with abuse.

How long

A guest mailbox and everything in it is deleted when you request a new address, and in any case after twenty four hours without use. If you create an account, your mailboxes are removed seven days after your last sign in, and no individual message is kept longer than thirty days.

Deletion is automatic and runs continuously. There is no archive.

Who else is involved

Incoming mail is received through Cloudflare, which operates the mail servers that accept messages before they reach us. Attachments are stored with Cloudflare R2. Our servers are hosted with DigitalOcean.

We show advertising through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalised advertising in Google Ads Settings.

We use Google Analytics to count visits and understand which pages are useful. It tells us how many people read a page, not who they are.

Anyone can open a guest mailbox

This is not a bug and it matters, so it belongs in the privacy policy rather than the small print. A guest address has no password. Anyone who knows or guesses the address can read what arrived at it. Do not use a temporary address for anything you would mind a stranger seeing, and do not use it for accounts you need to keep.

Mailboxes belonging to a registered account are private and can only be opened by the account holder.

Accounts

If you create an account we store your email address and a hash of your password. We do not store the password itself. We use your address to let you sign in and to send password resets, nothing else. You can delete your account at any time, and doing so deletes your mailboxes and messages with it.

Children

The service is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date at the top changes with it. Material changes will be noted on this page rather than applied quietly.
