Privacy Policy

At Inboxflip, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, and the choices you have when using our disposable email service.

1. Information We Collect

1.1 Email Data

When you generate a temporary email address, incoming emails sent to that address are stored temporarily on our servers. All emails and associated data are automatically and permanently deleted after 24 hours.

1.2 Technical Data

We may collect minimal, non-identifying technical data to ensure service reliability:

• IP address (anonymized and not stored long-term)
• Browser type and version
• General device information
• Usage timestamps

1.3 What We Do NOT Collect

• We do not require any personal information, account registration, or login
• We do not collect names, phone numbers, or permanent email addresses
• We do not use third-party advertising or analytics cookies unless you opt in through the cookie notice on our website

2. How We Use Your Information

The limited data we process is used solely to:

• Provide and maintain the disposable email service
• Display incoming emails in your temporary inbox
• Prevent abuse and ensure fair usage through rate limiting
• Improve service reliability and performance

3. Data Retention

We follow a strict data minimization approach:

• Emails: Automatically deleted after 24 hours
• Temporary inboxes: Purged after 24 hours of inactivity
• Server logs: Retained for a maximum of 7 days for security monitoring, then permanently deleted

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information or use the content of your temporary inbox for advertising. If you opt in to optional measurement, aggregated usage data may be processed by Google as described in the Cookies section below.

5. Cookies and similar technologies

5.1 Essential use

We use cookies and browser storage as needed for the service to work (for example, honoring your cookie preferences).

5.2 Optional Google Analytics and Google Ads

When you choose Accept on our cookie banner, we may load Google measurement tags that rely on cookies or similar technologies. These can include Google Analytics (understanding traffic and performance) and, if we configure it, Google Ads tags (conversion and remarketing measurement). Google receives certain technical and usage information subject to Google’s Privacy Policy. You can withdraw this choice later by clearing site storage for our domain or adjusting preferences in your Google account.

If you choose Reject optional, or do not accept, we do not load those optional tags for your visit.

6. Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect data during transmission and storage, including:

• HTTPS/TLS encryption for all connections
• Regular security audits and monitoring
• Automatic data purging to minimize exposure

However, no method of transmission over the Internet is 100% secure. We encourage users not to send sensitive personal information through any disposable email service.

7. Children's Privacy

Inboxflip is not directed at children under 13. We do not knowingly collect information from children. If you believe a child has used our service inappropriately, please contact us.

8. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
