Privacy Policy

Effective Date: January 1, 2024

1. Information We Collect

When you use MockEmail.com to create temporary email aliases, we collect:

• The temporary alias name you choose or generate (e.g., "quickcat123")
• Basic request data (IP address, browser information) for security and abuse prevention
• Email messages sent to your temporary alias during its lifetime
• Service usage statistics to maintain and improve performance

2. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect to:

• Provide temporary email alias service and display received messages
• Prevent abuse, spam, and malicious activity
• Maintain service security and performance
• Generate usage statistics (anonymized)

3. Information Sharing

We do not sell, trade, or share your information with third parties. Limited sharing may occur only for:

• Legal compliance when required by law
• Security purposes to prevent abuse of our services
• Essential service operations (email delivery infrastructure)

4. Data Retention and Automatic Deletion

Our service is designed for maximum privacy through automatic data deletion:

• Temporary aliases expire automatically after 15 minutes to 4 hours (your choice)
• All email messages are deleted when the alias expires
• View URLs become invalid and cannot be recovered after expiration
• No permanent storage - all data is automatically purged for your privacy
• System logs are retained for up to 30 days for security monitoring only

5. Security

We implement security measures to protect against unauthorized access and abuse. Our temporary nature provides inherent security - since all data is automatically deleted, there is minimal risk of long-term data exposure.

6. Temporary Nature of Service

This service is designed for temporary use only:

• Aliases are created for short-term use (15 minutes to 4 hours maximum)
• Access URLs are unique and cannot be guessed or recovered
• Once expired, aliases and messages are permanently deleted
• No account creation or permanent storage is required

7. Cookies and Tracking

Our website does not use cookies or tracking technologies. We do not use third-party analytics or advertising services.

8. Your Rights and Data Control

Due to the temporary nature of our service:

• You control the lifetime of your data by selecting the expiration time
• All data is automatically deleted - no manual deletion requests needed
• No personal accounts or profiles are created
• Access is controlled solely through the unique viewing URL you receive

9. Age Restrictions

Our service is not intended for children under 13 years of age. We do not knowingly collect information from children under 13.

We may update this privacy policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated effective date.
