Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2026-10-08

1. Overview

This Privacy Policy explains how smail.pw ("we", "our", or "us") handles information when you use our temporary email service.

By using smail.pw, you agree to this policy.

2. What information do we collect?

smail.pw is designed to minimize the information we collect.

  • Email content: The emails sent to your temporary addresses are stored on our servers so that you can read them. They are kept long-term by default, with no guarantee of how long.
  • Messages you send us: If you use the form on the Contact page, we store your message and any contact details you choose to add, so that we can read it and reply. To limit abuse we also keep a one-way fingerprint of the sender's network address, not the address itself.
  • Technical data: Our infrastructure provider, Cloudflare, logs basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, and timestamps. We use it for security, debugging, and abuse prevention.

We do not ask you to create an account or provide your real email address.

3. How do we use your information?

We use the information we collect to:

  • Deliver emails to your temporary inbox.
  • Maintain and improve the service.
  • Detect and prevent abuse, spam, and attacks.

We do not sell your data.

4. How long do we keep data?

  • Temporary addresses and emails are kept long-term by default. We do not guarantee how long: they may be removed at any time, for example during periodic storage clean-ups, maintenance, or after a system fault.
  • Technical logs are kept by Cloudflare for its own retention periods.

smail.pw is not a storage service, so do not rely on it to keep anything you need. Once data is removed, it cannot be recovered.

5. Who can see my emails?

Temporary inboxes are not tied to a personal account and have no password. Your inbox is remembered by a cookie in the browser where you created the address, so anyone who can use that browser can read it. If that cookie is lost, the inbox cannot be recovered.

Do not use smail.pw for sensitive or private information such as:

  • Banking or payment details
  • Government IDs or legal documents
  • Passwords or security codes for important accounts

6. Cookies and third‑party services

We set only two cookies, both needed to run the service:

  • One keeps your temporary address in this browser.
  • One records whether you already have an address, so the site can avoid unnecessary requests.

There are no ads on smail.pw. We do not load third‑party analytics or tracking scripts, and we do not set advertising or tracking cookies.

The service runs on Cloudflare, which processes and stores emails and requests on our behalf. We look at aggregated traffic statistics that Cloudflare derives from request logs (for example, visit counts and countries); these do not use cookies. Separately, Cloudflare may set its own security cookie when it needs to tell real visitors from attacks.

7. Data sharing and legal requirements

We may share or preserve information when necessary to:

  • Comply with applicable laws or legal processes
  • Respond to valid law enforcement requests
  • Protect the rights, property, or safety of smail.pw, our users, or others

We do not share data with advertisers for the purpose of building advertising profiles.

8. Where is data processed?

smail.pw may process and store data in different regions or with third‑party infrastructure providers. Your data may be transferred across borders depending on where the service is hosted.

9. Children’s privacy

smail.pw is not directed to children under the age where they can legally provide consent to online services in their jurisdiction. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us so we can delete it.

10. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page.

If the changes are material, we may provide additional notice where reasonable.

11. Contact us

If you have questions or concerns about this Privacy Policy, please leave us a message on the Contact page and describe your request clearly. Add a way to reach you if you want a reply.
