Temporary Email is a disposable inbox service. You get a random address, incoming mail is shown in the browser, and the inbox is deleted after five minutes. There is no signup and no user account. This page describes what the service stores and for how long.
No accounts
We do not ask for a name, password, phone number, or your real email address. We do not operate user profiles or login.
Temporary inboxes
When you use the site, we create a random mailbox address and store it so incoming mail can be delivered to that inbox. Each mailbox is set to expire after 5 minutes. After that, the address and its messages are deleted automatically.
- Mailbox id, generated address, created time, and expiry time
- Incoming messages: sender, recipient, subject, text, HTML, and received time
- Up to 20 messages per inbox, with message bodies capped in size
Anyone who knows a live mailbox address can request its messages until it expires. Do not use this service for mail you need to keep private or retain.
Queue token
New inboxes are handed out through a short queue so the service is not overloaded. A random queue token is stored in your browser's session storage for the current tab. It is used only to keep your place in the queue and return the same mailbox if you refresh. Closing the tab clears session storage. Queue records that stop being checked are dropped after a short period.
Analytics
The site uses Vercel Analytics for aggregate page-view statistics. It is not used to create an account or to read the contents of your temporary inbox.
Infrastructure
The website is hosted on Vercel. Incoming mail is received through Cloudflare Email Routing and a Cloudflare Worker, then stored until the mailbox expires. Hosting and email providers may process connection data such as IP addresses in their own logs as part of running those services.
Cookies and local storage
We do not set an account cookie. The queue token lives in session storage in your browser. Analytics from Vercel may use its own storage as described in Vercel's documentation.
Advertising
The site publishes an ads.txt file for Google. If ads are shown on the site, Google and any other ad partners collect data under their own policies. This policy does not cover those third parties.
What we do not do
- We do not sell mailbox contents.
- We do not keep expired inboxes after their 5-minute lifetime.
- We do not require registration.
Changes
If how the service handles data changes, we will update this page and the date above.
