What information we process
When you use a temporary email address, the service processes the system-generated address, access token, creation and expiration times, and the email content, sender information, and attachments sent to that address. When you use a forwarding alias, we also process your login email address, verification records, created aliases, forwarding status, and necessary delivery results.
To keep the service secure, prevent abuse, and troubleshoot issues, servers may record request times, IP addresses, basic browser information, API results, and security events. We do not require temporary email users to provide their name, phone number, or payment information.
Purposes of processing
- Generate temporary addresses, display received content, and clean it up when it expires;
- Verify ownership of forwarding accounts, forward emails, and manage aliases;
- Detect automated abuse, attacks, spam, and conduct that violates our terms;
- Troubleshoot delivery issues, maintain capacity, and respond to support requests;
- Comply with applicable legal requirements and protect users and the service.
Retention and deletion
Temporary addresses have a default validity period of three hours. They may be extended where the product allows, but should not be considered long-term storage. After expiration, manually changing the address, or destroying the inbox, the address can no longer be accessed with the original token. System backups, security logs, and failure queues may take a limited period to be cleared.
Forwarding accounts and aliases are retained until you delete them, close the account, or the service handles them for security or compliance reasons. Deleting an alias stops future forwarding, but copies already delivered to an external email account must be managed in that account.
Sharing and service providers
We use service providers only as necessary for hosting, networking, email delivery, security protection, and troubleshooting support. Email forwarding inherently delivers content to the email provider you specify. We do not operate by selling personal information, nor do we read email content to build advertising profiles.
Security and limitations
We use measures such as access controls, token isolation, encryption in transit, and abuse monitoring, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. Temporary email is not suitable for banking, medical or legal documents, password recovery, or any communication that requires long-term confidentiality and continued access.
Your choices
- You can switch to a new temporary address or destroy the current inbox;
- You can pause or delete a forwarding alias and stop future deliveries from the associated source;
- You can contact support@temppin.com to ask questions or request access to or deletion of applicable data;
- You can stop using the service at any time. Browser-based temporary login tokens can be removed by signing out or clearing session data.
