Privacy & Data

Privacy Policy

ShortLifeMail is designed to help you create temporary email addresses quickly and privately. This policy explains what information may be processed when you use our website.

Last updated: 3 May 2026

Simple version: ShortLifeMail does not ask you to create an account, and we do not require your name, password, phone number, or personal email address to use the basic temporary inbox tool.

1. Who we are

ShortLifeMail provides a temporary email tool that allows users to generate short-life email addresses for receiving messages. The website is intended for privacy, testing, sign-up verification, and reducing spam in your personal inbox.

2. Information you provide

You can use ShortLifeMail without creating an account. We do not ask for your name, phone number, home address, password, or personal email address to generate a temporary email address.

If you contact us directly, we may receive the information you choose to send, such as your email address, name, and message content.

3. Temporary email messages

Temporary inboxes are not private personal mailboxes. They are designed for short-term use only. Do not use ShortLifeMail for sensitive information such as banking, medical, legal, government, identity, password recovery, or confidential business messages.

Messages sent to temporary addresses may be processed by third-party email infrastructure or temporary email API providers in order to display inbox results. ShortLifeMail does not guarantee message delivery, storage, privacy, or availability.

4. Cookies and similar technologies

ShortLifeMail may use cookies, local storage, or similar browser technologies to keep the site working, remember basic preferences, improve performance, measure traffic, and support advertising.

5. Advertising and Google AdSense

We may display advertising on ShortLifeMail, including ads served by Google AdSense or other third-party advertising partners.

Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's previous visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads to users based on their visit to ShortLifeMail and/or other sites on the Internet.

Users may opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google's Ads Settings. Users may also be able to opt out of some third-party vendors' use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting industry opt-out pages such as aboutads.info.

6. Analytics

We may use analytics tools to understand how visitors use the website, such as which pages are visited, general device type, browser type, country-level location, and basic usage patterns. This helps us improve the website and fix problems.

Analytics data is generally aggregated and does not require you to create an account.

7. Server logs

Like most websites, our hosting provider may automatically process basic technical information such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring page, date/time of visit, and pages requested. This is used for security, debugging, abuse prevention, and website operation.

8. How we use information

9. What you should not use ShortLifeMail for

You should not use ShortLifeMail for anything important, confidential, illegal, harmful, abusive, or long-term. Temporary email addresses can expire, stop working, or become inaccessible.

10. Third-party services

ShortLifeMail may rely on third-party services for hosting, email processing, analytics, advertising, security, or performance. These services may process technical data according to their own privacy policies.

11. Data retention

Temporary email messages are intended to be short-lived. However, exact retention periods may depend on the technical providers used to power the temporary email functionality. We do not recommend relying on ShortLifeMail for permanent message storage.

12. Your choices

You can control cookies through your browser settings. You can also use browser privacy settings or extensions to limit tracking technologies. Blocking some cookies may affect how certain website features work.

13. Children's privacy

ShortLifeMail is not intended for children under 13. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

14. Changes to this policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. When we make changes, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page.
