Acceptable Use Policy

Made for testing and privacy

TempEmail is a free tool for developers, QA testers and anyone who wants to keep their real inbox private. Almost everyone uses it exactly that way. Thank you! 🙏

What TempEmail is for

• Testing sign-up, verification, OTP, password-reset and other emails sent by your own apps
• QA and end-to-end testing with many test users
• Keeping your real email address away from spam, newsletters and untrusted websites
• One-time sign-ups, downloads and free trials you are genuinely entitled to

A few things we kindly ask you not to do

To keep TempEmail free and working well for everyone, please don't use it for:

• Fraud and scams: phishing, identity theft, payment or card fraud, money laundering, or deceiving anyone
• Account farming: creating fake or bulk accounts on other websites, for example to collect free credits, trials, bonuses, referral rewards or promotions more than once
• Getting around bans or limits: making new accounts after being banned or suspended, or to bypass usage limits on other services
• Fake engagement: fake followers, views, likes, votes or reviews
• Spam: sending bulk or unwanted messages, or signing other people up to things without their consent
• Gambling abuse: claiming betting or casino bonuses more than once, or other gambling fraud
• Impersonation: pretending to be another person or organisation
• Harassment: threatening, stalking or abusing anyone
• Illegal activity: anything illegal, including content that sexually exploits children
• Attacking TempEmail: bots or scripts that create inboxes automatically, scraping, overloading the service, or trying to get around our limits and security

How TempEmail stays healthy

Nobody watches what you do here. The protections are automatic, like on most free services:

• Fair-use limits on how many inboxes and emails can be created.
• Senders linked to spam or email floods are blocked.
• Every inbox and email deletes itself after 7 days.

Some emails may not arrive

A few services give free credits or trials to every new account, so they attract bulk sign-ups. Emails from them aren't delivered here. This includes most AI chat, image, video and voice services, for example OpenAI, Anthropic, xAI, Leonardo and HeyGen.

For those services, please sign up with your own email address. We review this list regularly.

If something goes against this policy

We may limit access to keep TempEmail safe for everyone. Where the law requires it, we cooperate with the authorities.

Report misuse

If you run a website and think a TempEmail address was misused there, please email info@temp-email.ai with the address and what happened. We read every report.
