Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 24, 2026
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 tracking cookies for advertising
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, trade, or share your data with third parties. Your email content is never used for advertising, analytics profiling, or any purpose other than delivering it to your temporary inbox.
5. Cookies
Inboxflip uses only essential, functional cookies required to operate the service (e.g., maintaining your session). We do not use advertising or third-party tracking cookies.
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.
