我们仅收集运营服务所需的最少数据。
1. Who we are
Temp Mail Now is operated from Germany. References to "we", "us", and "our" mean the operator of temp-mail-now.com. For privacy questions, contact [email protected].
2. What we collect & why
Free tier (no account)
- Incoming messages sent to your disposable address are stored in memory (Redis) for six (6) hours, then unconditionally deleted. Lawful basis: legitimate interest in providing the service you requested.
- IP address — captured in standard server access logs and used to rate-limit abuse. Rotated every 14 days.
- Locale cookie (
tmnLocale) — remembers your language choice. First-party, 1-year expiry. No tracking.
Paid plans (Basic, Plus, Pro)
- Email address & password hash — to sign you in. Passwords are hashed with argon2id; we never store plaintext.
- Payment provider customer ID (Paddle or NOWPayments). We never see your card or wallet details — those live with the payment provider.
- Subscription state — plan, cycle, billing dates.
- Premium messages — kept in PostgreSQL for the retention period of your plan (30 days to 1 year), plus attachments in Cloudflare R2.
- Audit log — admin and security-sensitive actions (API key rotations, subscription changes) are logged for security and dispute resolution.
3. What we do not collect
- No advertising-network tracking cookies without your explicit consent.
- No analytics that identify individual users without consent. If you accept cookies, Google Tag Manager may load aggregate analytics (page views, feature interactions). No email addresses, message content, or personally identifying information is ever sent to analytics providers.
- No name, phone, address, or billing details (those live with Paddle/NOWPayments).
- No content of your messages for marketing, profiling, or ML training. Ever.
