Important Security Notice

ThrowawayMail is NOT designed for sensitive communications. While we provide an anonymous service, the emails you receive are:

  • Not encrypted end-to-end
  • Stored temporarily in plain text
  • Subject to standard email transmission protocols

Please do not use ThrowawayMail for confidential, financial, legal, or any sensitive personal information.

Information We Don't Collect

We're proud to say that we:

  • Do not require account creation or login
  • Do not collect personal information
  • Do not track your usage patterns
  • Do not use cookies for tracking purposes
  • Do not sell any data to third parties

Data Retention

All email addresses generated by our service and any messages received:

  • Are stored temporarily in our system for only 10 minutes
  • Are permanently and automatically deleted after this period
  • Cannot be recovered once deleted

We utilize an in-memory database that automatically purges all data, ensuring no permanent record of your temporary email activity exists.

Server Logs

Our servers maintain minimal standard logs for technical operation purposes only. These logs:

  • Do not contain identifying information
  • Are automatically rotated and purged
  • Are used solely for maintaining service stability and security

Legal Compliance

While we prioritize user anonymity, we will comply with valid legal requests from authorities. However, due to our minimal data collection and short retention period, we typically have no user data to provide in response to such requests.

Prohibited Uses

ThrowawayMail is intended for legitimate privacy protection. The service may not be used for:

  • Illegal activities
  • Harassment or abuse
  • Spamming or phishing
  • Distributing malware

We reserve the right to block any IP address or implement other measures to prevent abuse of our service.
