Privacy Policy
Your privacy is paramount at FastTempMail. We are committed to providing you with a secure and anonymous temporary email service without collecting any personal information. This policy outlines how we handle the minimal data involved in providing our service.
What Data We Collect (and What We DON'T)
FastTempMail is designed for anonymity. We operate under the principle of collecting the least amount of data necessary.
- Emails: We temporarily store emails sent to the disposable address generated for you, solely for the purpose of displaying them in your live inbox.
- IP Addresses: We do NOT log or store the IP addresses of users who visit our site or use the service.
- Personal Information: We do NOT ask for, collect, or store any personal information (like your name, permanent email, phone number, etc.) to use our service. Registration is not required.
- Cookies: We use minimal cookies strictly necessary for the basic functioning of the website (e.g., session management if implemented, though our current model is stateless). We do NOT use cookies for tracking or profiling.
How Data (Emails) Are Used
Emails sent to your temporary address are used only to be displayed within your dedicated, temporary inbox on our website. We do not read, analyze, or use the content of your emails for any other purpose.
Data Retention - The 10-Minute Rule
The core feature of FastTempMail is its temporary nature.
- Your generated temporary email address is active only while you have the page open and for a short period afterwards (currently set to approximately 10 minutes of inactivity or from generation).
- All emails received by your temporary address are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers after approximately 10 minutes of being received, or when you click the "Delete Email" button, or when you generate a new email address.
- We do not retain any backups of expired or deleted emails or temporary addresses.
This strict retention policy is designed to maximize your privacy and anonymity.
Data Security
We implement standard security measures, including SSL encryption, to protect the temporary data (emails) while they briefly exist on our servers and during transmission to your browser. However, due to the inherently temporary nature of the service and the fact that we do not require identification, absolute security for highly sensitive information cannot be guaranteed. Please do not use temporary email for critical communications.
Third-Party Sharing
We do not share, sell, rent, or trade your temporary email data or any other information with third parties. Our service is designed to be a private tool for your use.
Children's Privacy
FastTempMail is not intended for use by individuals under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for legal reasons. We will post any changes on this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
