Privacy policy
Privacy Policy for Tempemails.in
Hi there, welcome to TempEmails.in! We're a simple, free service that lets you create temporary email addresses quickly and easily. The whole idea behind our site is to help you protect your real email from spam, unwanted ads, scams, or just too many sign-up confirmations. You don't need to register, give us any personal details, or even remember a password – just visit the site, get a temp email, use it, and move on. We really care about privacy, which is why we built this in the first place. This privacy policy explains how we handle things on our end, in plain and simple words. It's meant to be easy to read, because nobody likes complicated legal stuff.
We take your privacy seriously. Since our service is all about anonymity, we try to collect as little information as possible. In fact, for most users, we collect almost nothing that can identify you personally. But like any website, there are some basic things that happen behind the scenes to make everything work smoothly. We'll go through all of that here, step by step.
What Kind of Information Do We Collect?
First off, the good news: We don't ask you for any personal information. No name, no real email address, no phone number, nothing like that. You can use TempEmails.in completely anonymously – no sign-up required.
That said, when you visit our website or use our temporary email service, some information is automatically collected. This is pretty standard for any site on the internet. Here's what that includes:
Log Data: Like most websites, our servers keep basic logs. This might include your IP address (that's the unique number your device uses to connect to the internet), the type of browser you're using (like Chrome or Firefox), your device's operating system, the pages you visit on our site, the time and date of your visit, and how long you stay. We also track things like which temporary email you generated and when messages arrive (but not the content in a way that ties back to you permanently).
Why do we collect this? Mostly to keep the site running properly, spot any technical problems, and prevent abuse. For example, if someone tries to spam our system or use it for bad stuff, these logs help us block that.
Temporary Email Data: When you generate a temp email on our site, we create a disposable address and store any incoming messages temporarily. These messages are only visible to whoever has access to that specific temp inbox (usually just you, since it's random and short-lived). We don't link this to any real personal info about you.
Cookies and Similar Tech: We use small files called cookies to make the site better. For instance, a cookie might remember your temp email session so you don't lose your inbox if you refresh the page. These are session cookies – they disappear when you close your browser. We might also use basic analytics cookies to see general trends, like how many people use the site or which features are popular. This helps us improve things.
No fancy tracking here – we don't use cookies to follow you around the web or build profiles for ads.
We don't collect sensitive stuff like payment details (since everything is free), location data beyond basic IP info, or anything about kids specifically.
How Do We Use the Information We Collect?
Everything we collect is used only to run and improve TempEmails.in. Here's the breakdown:
- To provide the service: Generating temp emails, showing you incoming messages, and refreshing the inbox.
- To keep things secure: Detecting and stopping misuse, like if someone floods the system with fake requests.
- To fix bugs and make improvements: Looking at anonymous usage stats to see what's working well or needs tweaking.
- For legal reasons: If required by law, we might have to share info (more on that below).
We don't sell any data. We don't share it for marketing. We don't use it to send you emails (since you don't give us a real one!). Basically, our goal is privacy, so we keep things minimal.
How Long Do We Keep Data?
Temporary is our middle name!
- Messages in temp inboxes and the addresses themselves are deleted automatically after a short time – usually hours or days, depending on activity. Once gone, they're gone for good.
- Log data is kept for a limited time, just long enough to handle security or technical needs (typically a few weeks to months).
- Cookies expire quickly, as mentioned.
We don't hold onto anything longer than necessary because, again, privacy first.
Do We Share Your Information?
Almost never. Since we collect so little personal info, there's not much to share anyway.
We might share anonymous, aggregated data (like "10,000 temp emails were created this month") with no way to identify anyone. This could be for improving the service or basic stats.
In rare cases:
- With service providers: We use trusted third parties for things like hosting servers or basic analytics (e.g., Google Analytics in a privacy-friendly way). They only get what's needed to do their job and are bound by strict rules to protect data.
- For legal reasons: If we get a valid court order or need to comply with laws, we might have to share info. But we'd only do the minimum required.
- If the site changes ownership: In the unlikely event we sell or transfer the service, data would go with it, but under similar privacy protections.
We never share temp email contents with anyone unless legally forced.
Security – How We Protect Things
We take reasonable steps to keep everything safe. Our site uses HTTPS encryption, secure servers, and regular checks for vulnerabilities. Data is stored in protected environments.
That said, no online service is 100% foolproof. The internet has risks, so we recommend not using temp emails for super sensitive stuff like banking or personal secrets (as we mention on the site too).
Third-Party Links and Services
Sometimes, messages in your temp inbox might have links to other websites. Or you might click ads (if we have any basic ones). Those are outside our control – their privacy rules apply once you leave TempEmails.in. Always check their policies if you're concerned.
We might embed or link to third-party tools (like analytics), and they have their own privacy practices. We'll link to those where relevant.
Children's Privacy
Our service isn't aimed at kids under 13 (or whatever the local age is for privacy laws). We don't knowingly collect info from children. If we find out we have any, we'll delete it right away. Parents, if you think this happened, contact us.
Your Choices and Rights
Since we collect minimal info, your main choice is simple: Use the site or not.
- You can clear cookies in your browser anytime.
- For rights under laws like GDPR (if you're in Europe) or CCPA (California), you can ask about data we have, request deletion, or opt out of certain things. Even though we have little on you, email us at nazibulmaxco1@gmail.com, and we'll help as best we can.
We respond to valid requests promptly and free of charge.
International Users
TempEmails.in is available worldwide, but data might be processed in different countries (like where our servers are). By using it, you agree to that transfer. We aim to meet strong privacy standards everywhere.
Changes to This Policy
We might update this policy now and then – if laws change or we add features. We'll post the new version here with the update date. If it's a big change, we'll try to highlight it on the site.
Keep checking back, especially if you use us often.
