Welcome to emaily.app. Your privacy is our entire business model. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle data when you use our disposable email service. We have designed our system to comply with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA).

1. Data We Do Not Collect

Unlike traditional email providers, emaily.app is built on the principle of Data Minimization. We do not require or collect:

  • Your real name or physical address.
  • Your personal phone number.
  • Your primary email address.

2. Information We Process

When you use our service, we temporarily process the following:

  • Temporary Email Address: Randomly generated strings used to receive mail.
  • Incoming Content: We store incoming emails only long enough for you to read them.
  • IP Addresses: Processed temporarily for security and to prevent service abuse (e.g., DDoS protection). These logs are purged regularly.

3. Data Retention & Deletion

Our service is "ephemeral" by design. In 2026, our standard retention policy is:

  • Email Content: Automatically deleted after 24 hours (or when you manually delete the inbox).
  • Metadata: Purged within 7 days.

Once data is deleted from our active servers, it is gone forever and cannot be recovered by us or any third party.

4. Use of Cookies

We use minimal cookies strictly for site functionality (such as remembering your current temporary inbox during a session). We do not use tracking cookies for third-party advertising profiles.

5. Your Rights (UK & Canada)

Under UK and Canadian law, you have the right to access, rectify, or delete your data. Since we do not link temporary emails to real identities, "deletion" occurs automatically as part of our core service. If you have specific concerns, please contact our privacy officer via our Contact Page.

6. Security

We employ industry-standard encryption to protect the transmission of data. However, please remember that disposable emails are intended for non-sensitive registrations. Do not use emaily.app for banking, medical records, or sensitive personal accounts.
