Privacy Policy

Last updated: January 1, 2025

1. Overview

DropMail ("we", "our", or "us") operates the website dropmail.space and the DropMail Chrome extension. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our temporary email service. We are committed to protecting your privacy — that is the entire purpose of our service.

2. Information We Collect

We collect minimal information necessary to operate the service:

  • Randomly generated temporary email addresses created during your session
  • Emails received to those temporary addresses (stored temporarily)
  • Basic server logs including IP addresses and request timestamps for security purposes

We do not require you to create an account, provide your real name, or submit any personal information to use DropMail.

3. How We Use Your Information

  • To deliver emails to your temporary inbox
  • To maintain and improve the service
  • To detect and prevent abuse or spam

We do not sell, rent, or share your data with third parties for marketing purposes.

4. Data Retention

Temporary email addresses and all associated emails are automatically and permanently deleted after 1 hour of creation. We do not archive or retain email content beyond this period. Server logs are retained for up to 30 days for security purposes and then deleted.

5. Chrome Extension

The DropMail Chrome extension:

  • Stores your current temporary email address locally in chrome.storage.local so it persists between popup opens
  • This data never leaves your device except to communicate with the DropMail API to fetch your inbox
  • No browsing history, tabs, or other browser data is accessed or collected
  • Local storage is automatically cleared when your email expires

6. Cookies and Tracking

DropMail does not use cookies, tracking pixels, or any third-party analytics tools. We do not track your behavior across websites or sessions.

7. Third-Party Services

DropMail does not integrate with third-party advertising, analytics, or data broker services. The only external resource loaded is Google Fonts for typography, which is subject to Google's own privacy policy.

8. Security

All communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted via HTTPS. However, please be aware that temporary email is not designed for sensitive communications — do not use DropMail to receive passwords, financial information, or other sensitive data you wish to keep private long-term.

9. Children's Privacy

DropMail is not directed at children under the age of 13. We do not knowingly collect any information from children.

10. Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated date. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
