Privacy Policy

Last Updated: July 19, 2026

1. Introduction

TempZap ("we," "us," or "our") operates the website https://tempzap.com. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our free temporary email service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. Unlike most websites, we intentionally collect as little personal information as possible. Our service is designed to be anonymous and ephemeral. This policy also explains how third-party advertising partners, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads on our site.

2. Information We Collect

2.1 No Registration Required

You do not need to register or provide any personal information (such as name, email address, phone number, or payment details) to generate and use a temporary email address on TempZap.

2.2 Optional Account Creation

If you choose to create a free account to access additional temporary email domains, we collect only:

  • A username of your choice
  • A hashed (encrypted) password

We do not ask for your real email address, name, or any other personal information during account creation.

2.3 Temporary Email Content

Emails received by your temporary inbox are stored on our servers for a maximum of 48 hours. After this period, all messages are automatically and permanently deleted. We do not read, share, sell, or use the content of these emails for any purpose other than displaying them to you.

2.4 Automatically Collected Information (Log Data)

Like most websites, our servers automatically record certain technical information when you visit TempZap. This may include:

  • Your IP address (anonymized where possible)
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • Referring website
  • Date and time of access
  • Pages visited

This information is used for security, troubleshooting, and improving our service. It may also be shared with third-party advertising partners in anonymized or aggregated form to support ad delivery, as described in Section 3.

3. Cookies and Tracking

TempZap uses cookies for two purposes:

a) Essential cookies — to maintain your temporary inbox session, remember your favorite messages (if you use that feature), and keep you logged into your optional account.

b) Advertising cookies — We use third-party vendors, including Google, to serve ads on TempZap. These vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to you based on your visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

You may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You may also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

If you are located in the European Economic Area, the UK, or Switzerland, we (or our advertising partners) will request your consent for the use of cookies and personal data for ad personalization through a consent management tool before serving personalized ads.

You can disable cookies in your browser settings, but some features of TempZap — and ad personalization — may not function properly as a result.

4. How We Use Your Information

Because we collect minimal personal information, our uses are limited to:

  • Providing and maintaining the temporary email service
  • Displaying incoming emails to you in real time
  • Automatically deleting emails after 48 hours
  • Managing optional user accounts (username/password only)
  • Analyzing anonymized usage patterns to improve performance
  • Preventing abuse or fraudulent activity
  • Serving relevant advertisements through third-party ad networks (e.g., Google AdSense)

We do not sell, rent, or trade any information with third parties for advertising or marketing purposes beyond what is described in this policy.

5. Third-Party Advertising

We use Google AdSense and/or other third-party advertising companies to serve ads when you visit TempZap. These companies may use information about your visits to this and other websites (not including your name, address, email address, or telephone number) to provide advertisements about goods and services of interest to you.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to our website. This allows Google and its partners to serve ads to our users based on their visit to our site and/or other sites on the internet.

Users may opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, users can opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalized advertising by visiting www.aboutads.info/choices.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable technical measures to protect the information we hold. However, no internet transmission is 100% secure. By using TempZap, you acknowledge that you provide information at your own risk.

Important: Because temporary emails are publicly accessible if someone guesses your address (extremely unlikely due to random generation), do not use TempZap to receive sensitive personal data such as passwords, financial details, or confidential documents.

7. Data Retention

  • Temporary email content: Deleted automatically after 48 hours.
  • Optional account information: Retained until you delete your account or request removal. You may contact us to delete your account at any time.
  • Server log data: Retained for up to 30 days, then anonymized or deleted.
  • Advertising cookie data: Retained according to the applicable third-party vendor's own retention policies (e.g., Google's).

8. Your Rights

Depending on your location (e.g., GDPR in Europe, CCPA in California), you may have the right to:

  • Access – Request a copy of any personal data we hold about you.
  • Deletion – Request that we delete your optional account and associated data.
  • Correction – Correct any inaccurate information in your optional account.
  • Opt-Out – Opt out of personalized advertising, as described in Sections 3 and 5.

To exercise these rights, contact us at support@tempzap.com. We will respond within 30 days.

9. Children's Privacy

TempZap is not intended for children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children, and we do not knowingly allow children under 13 to be served personalized ads. If you believe a child has provided us with information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Third-Party Links

Our website may contain links to other websites (e.g., in blog posts) and third-party advertisements. We are not responsible for the privacy practices or content of those sites. Please read their privacy policies.

11. Changes to This Privacy Policy

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