Privacy Policy
Introduction
Welcome to tempomail.me, a service providing self-destructing temporary email addresses. This Privacy Policy outlines how we handle information when you use our service. By accessing or using tempomail.me, you agree to the practices described in this policy.
Our Privacy Commitment
At tempomail.me, we believe in digital privacy as a fundamental right. Our service is designed to protect your identity online by providing anonymous, short-lived email addresses that automatically expire after 1 hour.
How Our Service Works
tempomail.me provides disposable email addresses that:
- Allow you to receive emails without revealing your personal email
- Automatically delete all data after 1 hour
- Can be manually deleted at any time using the "Delete" button
- Help you avoid spam, marketing lists, and unnecessary data collection
Unlike permanent email providers, we don't build user profiles or maintain long-term storage of your communications.
Data Collection Practices
What We Collect:
- Basic usage metrics: Like most websites, we collect standard server logs including browser type, referring/exit pages, and time on site
- Technical information: Limited technical data needed to provide our service
What We DON'T Collect:
- We do not store your IP address after your session ends
- We do not link your temporary email activities to any personally identifiable information
- We do not track your browsing across other websites
- We do not build user profiles
Automatic Data Deletion
Privacy by design is our core principle. All emails received through our service are automatically and permanently deleted after 1 hour. This means:
- No data retention beyond the stated period
- No recovery of expired messages (even by our staff)
- No data mining of your communications
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use limited cookies for essential functionality and site analytics. These may include:
- Session cookies to maintain your temporary mailbox during your visit
- Analytics cookies to help us understand basic usage patterns
- Advertising cookies from our third-party ad providers
You can control cookies through your browser settings. Blocking some cookies may affect your ability to use certain features of our service.
Google AdSense
We use Google AdSense to display advertisements on tempomail.me. Google AdSense uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to our website and other sites on the internet. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and/or other sites.
Google AdSense may collect information about your browsing behavior for ad personalization. This information is not personally identifiable. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings (https://www.google.com/settings/ads) or by visiting www.aboutads.info.

How We Use Information
The limited information we collect is used solely to:
- Provide and maintain our temporary email service
- Monitor and improve site performance
- Protect against automated abuse and attacks
- Compile anonymous usage statistics
- Display relevant advertisements
Information Sharing
We do not sell, rent, or trade your information with third parties. We may share anonymous, aggregated data for analytical purposes, but this data cannot identify individual users.
We may disclose information if required by law, but only to the extent necessary to comply with legal obligations.
Third-Party Services
Our site displays advertisements from Google AdSense and may include other third-party ad networks that use cookies to collect non-personal information about your visits to serve relevant ads. These networks have their own privacy policies, and we encourage you to review them.
We may use standard analytics tools to help us understand how users interact with our service. These tools collect information sent by your browser as part of web requests.
Security Measures
We implement reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the limited information we process, including:
- Regular security assessments
- Data encryption in transit
- Automated deletion protocols
- Protection against unauthorized access
However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
California Privacy Rights
California residents have certain rights regarding their personal information. Since tempomail.me is designed to minimize data collection and we don't share personal information for marketing purposes, most of these concerns don't apply to our service.
International Users
Our service is available worldwide. By using tempomail.me, you consent to the transfer of any limited information we collect to servers that may be located outside your country of residence.
Children's Privacy
Our service is not directed at individuals under the age of 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
Policy Updates
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. All changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date. Your continued use of tempomail.me after any changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
