Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 4, 2026
This policy explains how Ethan Sunray LLC handles information when you use TempMail.la. The service is free, requires no account, and is limited to receiving email in short-lived mailboxes.
Information Processed by the Service
- Temporary mailbox data: the generated email address, mailbox access identifier, creation and expiration times, incoming message metadata and body, read status, and attachments.
- Security and operational data: IP address, request time, browser and device information, referring page, cookies or local storage needed for service state, and server logs used for availability, abuse prevention, and troubleshooting.
- Content-safety event data: the result, broad content type, action taken, and event time. These events do not contain the email subject, body, image, attachment, model score, or original screening response.
- Support data: information you choose to send to support@tempmail.la.
- Historical business records: records associated with former accounts, orders, and payments. The site no longer offers accounts, paid plans, subscriptions, or payment checkout.
How We Use Information
We process this information to receive and display messages, operate the 10-minute mailbox, screen incoming messages before storage, prevent abuse, protect the Service, diagnose errors, understand aggregate site usage, respond to requests, and comply with legal obligations. We do not use mailbox contents for advertising, to provide content-generation features, or to train general-purpose artificial-intelligence models.
Content-Safety Screening
Before an incoming message is stored, we use a third-party content-safety service provider to screen the subject, body, and supported JPEG, PNG, WebP, or GIF images. We do not send the temporary mailbox address, mailbox access identifier, sender address, Message-ID, or attachment filename for this screening. Unsupported or oversized attachments, parsing failures, screening failures, and messages that match our prohibited-content policy are rejected without storing their body or attachments.
Automated screening reduces risk but cannot guarantee that every prohibited message or every instance of nudity will be detected. Reports and valid legal requests remain available as additional safeguards.
Mailbox Retention
A free mailbox is available for 10 minutes. When it expires or you delete it, it becomes inaccessible and enters our scheduled deletion process together with its messages and attachments. Temporary mailboxes are not an archival service and expired data cannot be recovered.
Operational and security logs are retained only as reasonably necessary for reliability, abuse prevention, and legal compliance. Historical account, order, and payment records are retained only for the periods needed for financial recordkeeping, disputes, fraud prevention, and legal obligations.
Content-safety events contain no message content or direct mailbox identifier and are normally deleted after 90 days.
Analytics and Anti-Abuse Services
We use Google Analytics to understand aggregate website usage. Google may process device, browser, interaction, cookie, and approximate-location data under its own terms. Browser controls and applicable Google opt-out tools may be used to limit analytics cookies.
We use Cloudflare Turnstile to distinguish legitimate requests from automated abuse. Cloudflare may process connection, device, and challenge information for this purpose under its own privacy terms.
QR Codes
The mailbox QR code is generated locally in your browser. We do not send your temporary email address or mailbox access link to a third-party QR-code service. The QR code contains an access link, so only share it with a device or person you trust.
Disclosure of Information
We do not sell personal information. We may disclose limited information to infrastructure, analytics, security, and professional service providers that help operate the Service; to comply with valid legal process; or to protect rights, safety, and the Service. Incoming email is transmitted through mail and hosting infrastructure needed to deliver it.
International Data Processing
Our infrastructure and service providers may process information in countries other than the country where you are located. We limit processing to the purposes described above and use provider terms, contractual safeguards, or other lawful transfer mechanisms where required. Content-safety screening is limited to the subject, body, and supported images needed for that purpose.
Security and Your Choices
We use reasonable technical and organizational safeguards, but no internet service can guarantee absolute security. Do not use a temporary mailbox for sensitive, financial, confidential, or long-term information. You can delete an active mailbox through the service and can control cookies through your browser.
Your Requests
Depending on your location, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, restriction, objection, or portability of personal information. Because the active service does not require an account and mailbox data is short-lived, we may need information from you to verify a request and locate any applicable record.
We normally complete an initial review of a sufficiently detailed and verifiable request and provide any available response within 3–14 business days, while applying any longer statutory period or lawful exception where required.
Children
The Service is not directed to children, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has provided information, contact us.
Changes and Contact
We may update this policy to reflect service or legal changes. For privacy, support, abuse, intellectual-property, or legal requests, email support@tempmail.la.
