No ads, short retention, stripped logs, and tracker blocking by default.
Privacy and retention
freetempmail keeps message retention short, strips sensitive data from logs, and avoids ad-driven tracking. The service still stores the data it needs to receive and show recent mail, but it is built to minimize how long that data hangs around. For broader product details, reusable addresses, and active domains, read the About page.
To receive and display messages, the application keeps mailbox metadata, message metadata, and the raw email content needed for short-lived retrieval. That storage exists so the inbox can show recent mail and render message previews while the mailbox is active.
The frontend stores recent mailbox history and mailbox access state in your browser so you can return to a previously used inbox from the same device. Clearing local browser storage removes that local history.
freetempmail does not run display ads across the inbox experience. The service is not designed around ad impressions, ad-tech scripts, or third-party marketing trackers.
Operational logs keep only the minimum detail needed to run and troubleshoot the service. Zero logs is usually a myth. Short retention with minimal detail is what protects privacy in practice.
That means no full recipient addresses, no full sender addresses, no raw subjects, and no message bodies in application logs.
HTML previews are rendered in an isolated frame, and external content stays blocked by default for your protection. Loading remote images or trackers can alert the sender that the message was opened and can expose details such as your IP address, device, or browser environment.
That protection stays on unless you allow external content for a specific message. Switch it on only when you trust the sender and the message needs remote images or other outside content. For the quick version of how tracker blocking works during temporary email signups and verification emails, see the FAQ.
freetempmail is meant for short-term inbox use, not long-term storage. If you need to keep email for the long haul or recover deleted messages later, use a regular permanent email service.
