Privacy Policy

Welcome to SecondInbox! Your privacy is important to us. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect your information when you use our website.

1. Information We Collect

We collect information in the following ways:

  • Temporary Email Data: When you create a temporary email address, we process the emails sent to it. This includes the sender's address, subject, content, and any attachments. This data is stored temporarily and is necessary for the service to function.
  • Account Information (Optional): If you choose to register for an account, we collect your name, email address, and a hashed password. Registration allows you to manage your inboxes.
  • Usage Information: To prevent abuse of our services, we may log the IP address used to create temporary email inboxes. This data is used for rate-limiting purposes.
  • Contact Form Submissions: If you use our contact form, we collect your name, email address, and the message you send so that we can respond to your inquiry.

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

  • Provide, operate, and maintain our temporary email service.
  • Allow you to create and manage your user account.
  • Protect our service from spam and abuse.
  • Respond to your questions and comments sent via the contact form.

3. Data Retention

Our data retention policies are simple and designed to protect your privacy:

  • Temporary Emails: All emails and attachments received by a temporary inbox are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers when the inbox expires.
  • Account Data: If you register an account, your information is retained as long as your account is active.
  • IP Addresses: IP logs for rate-limiting are kept for a short period before being discarded.

4. Data Security

We take reasonable measures to protect your information from unauthorized access or disclosure. However, no internet-based service can be 100% secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

5. Cookies

We use essential cookies to manage your session, such as keeping you logged in or remembering the anonymous inboxes you have created. We do not use cookies for tracking or advertising purposes.

6. Third-Party Services

We do not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer your personally identifiable information to outside parties.

7. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page. We encourage you to review this page periodically for any changes.
