Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about disposable email architecture, token extraction, and privacy guarantees.
What is temporary email and why do I need it?▼
A disposable temporary email protects your primary inbox from spam, data leaks, and aggressive marketing newsletters when testing untrusted web services.
How does instant OTP and verification link extraction work?▼
We scan incoming message text to find 4-8 digit verification codes and show them clearly with a one-click copy button. Messages are displayed in an isolated frame with sanitized HTML and external images blocked.
How long does a temporary inbox remain active?▼
Default lifetime is 20 minutes. You can extend it in 10-minute increments up to 60 minutes or burn it on demand.
Do you keep my messages or track my activity?▼
Messages are kept only while the mailbox is active and are deleted when it expires or is burned. We use IP addresses only temporarily to limit abuse. If analytics or advertising services are enabled, those providers may use cookies; see the Privacy Policy for details.
Do I need to refresh the page to see incoming messages?▼
No refresh is required. Live WebSocket relays stream incoming messages straight to your inbox in real time.
