Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 6, 2026
This policy explains what information 10minemails.com ("we", "us") processes when you use our temporary email service. Please review it with a qualified advisor before relying on it for your jurisdiction.
Information we process
- Inbox data. The randomly generated address, its creation and expiry time, and the emails it receives (sender, subject, text and sanitized HTML content, and attachment names and sizes). Attachment contents are not stored.
- Access token. A random token is stored in your browser's local storage so your inbox survives a page refresh. We store only a cryptographic hash of it on our servers.
- Technical data. To prevent abuse we process a salted, one-way hash of your IP address for rate limiting. Our hosting provider may keep standard server logs for a limited period.
Retention
Inboxes and all of their messages are automatically and permanently deleted shortly after they expire, typically within a few minutes. Rate-limiting records are deleted within 24 hours.
Advertising and cookies
We use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this and other websites. You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google Ads Settings or aboutads.info. Learn more about how Google uses information from sites that use its services. Visitors in the EEA, UK and Switzerland are asked for consent through a Google-certified consent management platform before personalized ads are shown.
Sharing
We don't sell inbox contents. Data is processed by our infrastructure providers (hosting, database and email routing) solely to operate the service, and may be disclosed if required by law.
Your choices
You can delete your inbox at any time by clicking "Get New Email", or by clearing your browser's site data. Because we don't collect account information, we generally cannot identify you. For privacy requests, please contact us.
Children
The service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your country).
Changes
We may update this policy. Material changes will be reflected by the date at the top of this page.
