How TempMail.now Handles Your Data, in Plain English
Privacy policies can be hard to read. This page is the plain-English version. It tells you, in simple words, what TempMail.now stores, how fast it goes away, and how ads fit in. We will be honest, not flashy. We will not make claims we cannot keep, like pretending we never see an IP address. Instead you get a clear, truthful picture so you can decide if this tool is right for you.
We store a temporary address and the messages sent to it, and only for a short time. When the inbox expires, it all auto-deletes. There is no sign-up and no personal details. Basic server logs, which can include an IP, exist for security and stay minimal. We do not sell your data, and ad partners never see your inbox.

Your Temporary Email Address:
Waiting for incoming emails...
What we store, and for how long
We keep two things: The temporary address you are given, and the messages that arrive for it. That is it. We hold them just long enough to show them in your inbox. There is no sign-up, no name, and no personal details asked. You do not hand over anything about yourself to use the tool.
The reason we store the messages at all is simple. We cannot show you an email in your inbox without holding a copy of it first. So the storage is short and tied to the life of the inbox, nothing more. Once the timer ends, it is gone.
Everything auto-deletes
When your inbox timer runs out, the address and every message in it are deleted. You do not have to press a button or clean anything up. It happens on its own. That is the whole point of a temporary inbox. Nothing is meant to stick around after you are done.
Server logs and your IP
We want to be straight here. Like nearly every website, our servers keep basic logs, and those logs can include an IP address. We are not going to tell you we run zero logs or never see your IP, because that would not be true.
What we can say is why they exist and how we treat them. These logs are for security and to stop abuse, like someone trying to spam the service. We keep them minimal, hold them for a short window, and do not use them to build a profile of you. For the full legal wording, see our privacy policy.
Ads, cookies, and your consent
This tool is free, and light ads are how we keep it that way. To be clear about the trade-off, here is how ads work on the site and what they can and cannot touch.
- Light ads run on the site so it stays free to use.
- Ad partners may set cookies, but only if you agree through the consent banner.
- You can accept or decline, and you can change your mind later.
- Ad partners never receive the contents of your inbox.
That last point matters most. Your temp inbox and the ads are two separate things. An ad partner does not see your messages, your codes, or your address. The consent banner puts the choice about ad cookies in your hands.
We do not sell your data
Showing ads is not the same as selling data, and we do not sell yours. There is no deal where your personal details get passed on for money. Ads keep the lights on, and that is the whole arrangement. Nothing about your inbox is for sale.
The honest summary
Here is the short version you can trust. We keep this tool simple on purpose, and that keeps your footprint small.
- We store a temporary address and its messages, briefly
- Everything auto-deletes when the inbox expires
- No sign-up and no personal details are asked
- Basic server logs can include an IP and stay minimal
- We do not sell your data, and ads never see your inbox

Frequently asked questions
Do you store my emails?
We store the temporary address you get and the messages that arrive for it, but only for a short time. This is the only way to show a message in your inbox. When the inbox timer runs out, the address and its messages are deleted. We do not build a long-term archive of your mail.
Do you log my IP address?
Like almost every website, our servers keep basic logs that can include an IP address. We use these for security and to stop abuse, and we keep them minimal. We are not going to claim we never see your IP, because that would not be true. What we can say is that we do not use these logs to profile you or sell your activity.
Do you sell my data?
No. We do not sell your data. Our ad partners never receive the contents of your inbox. Ads help keep the site free, but that is a separate thing from selling personal data, and we do not do it. If you want the full legal detail, our privacy policy spells it out.
Are there ads, and do they track me?
Yes, light ads keep the site free. Ad partners may set cookies, but only if you agree through the consent banner. You can accept or decline. Whatever you choose, ad partners never see your temp inbox or the messages inside it. Your mail and the ads stay completely separate.
How long is anything kept?
Your address and its messages last only as long as the inbox timer. Once it expires, they are deleted. Basic server logs are kept for a short window for security and then cleared out. Nothing about your temp inbox is meant to stick around, and there is no account to leave a trail.
