Privacy Policy

Overview

TempMailChecker ("we", "our", "us") is committed to protecting your privacy. This policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our disposable email detection API service.

TL;DR: We collect minimal data, never store the emails you check, and never sell your information to anyone.

Data We Collect

We collect only what's necessary to provide our service:

Data We Don't Collect

We explicitly do not collect or store:

• ❌ Full email addresses submitted to the API
• ❌ IP addresses
• ❌ User agent strings
• ❌ Referrer information
• ❌ Device fingerprints
• ❌ Location data
• ❌ Personal information beyond your signup email

When you call our API with an email like user@example.com, we only process the domain (example.com) and discard the rest.

How We Use Your Data

• Service Delivery: To authenticate API requests and enforce rate limits
• Communication: To send you your API key, usage alerts, and important service updates
• Analytics: To understand which disposable domains are most commonly detected (aggregate, anonymized)
• Improvement: To improve our detection accuracy and service reliability

Data Sharing

We do not sell, rent, or share your personal data with third parties, except:

• When required by law (court order, subpoena)
• To protect our rights or prevent fraud
• With service providers who help us operate (under strict confidentiality agreements)

We will never sell your data to advertisers or data brokers.
