Privacy Policy

Last updated: 24 September 2026. This Privacy Policy explains how FakeEmail.net collects, uses, stores, and protects your information when you use our temporary email service and website. We are committed to transparency so you can make informed decisions about your privacy whenever you visit our pages.

Who We Are

FakeEmail.net ("we", "our", or "us") operates a free, disposable, receive-only email service accessible via the web. Our platform allows users anywhere in the world to receive incoming messages on our managed domain names without registering an account. If you have questions about this policy or our data practices, you can contact us at zoombilisim@gmail.com or send a message through our contact page.

What Data We Process

Because FakeEmail.net is designed around simplicity and privacy, we collect only the minimal data necessary to deliver temporary email messages, protect our infrastructure, and respond to your inquiries. We do not require you to provide your name, physical address, phone number, or payment details.

1. Essential Session Cookie

When you visit FakeEmail.net, we set an essential session cookie named ci_session on your browser. This cookie contains a unique, temporary identifier that associates your active browser tab with the temporary addresses you have generated and any messages sent to those addresses. The ci_session cookie expires automatically after approximately two hours of inactivity. The temporary data linked to your session on our server is deleted during routine automated cleanup, typically within about a week of inactivity.

2. Emails Received at Our Domains

When an email is sent to an address hosted on our domains, it is received by our mail server. If you currently have that address open in an active browser session, the message is routed to your session so you can view it on your screen. If an email arrives for an address that is not currently open in an active session, the message remains stored on our mail server until someone loads that address or until it is purged during routine maintenance. Because anyone who knows, generates, or guesses a specific address can open its inbox and inspect incoming mail, temporary inboxes on FakeEmail.net are public in nature and are not private mailboxes. You must never use our service to receive sensitive, financial, confidential, or personal information.

3. Technical Logs

Like most web platforms, our servers and content delivery network (CDN) automatically record standard technical log entries whenever a browser requests a page or asset. These technical logs may include your IP address, browser type and version (user agent), the specific web address requested, referring URLs, and timestamps. We process this technical log data strictly to diagnose server problems, detect automated abuse, prevent distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks, and maintain network stability.

4. Anonymous Statistics

We maintain an aggregated, anonymous counter of the number of temporary addresses created across our platform. This counter records only raw quantities and contains no IP addresses, usernames, personal identifiers, or message contents. We use this figure solely to monitor overall platform utilization and capacity needs over time.

5. Contact Form Submissions

If you choose to communicate with us using our contact form, we collect the details you enter: your name, your email address, your subject line, and your written message. We process this information exclusively to review your question, investigate issues, and send a reply. Contact form submissions are stored in our secure database and forwarded directly to our operational support mailbox.

6. Local Storage

Your web browser provides a localized storage mechanism known as local storage. We use your device's local storage solely to remember your interface preferences: whether you prefer our light or dark display theme, and whether you have dismissed our language selection banner. This preference data remains strictly on your device, is not transmitted to our servers, and is never shared with third parties.

Summary of Data Processing Activities

Cookies and Similar Technologies

A cookie is a small text file placed on your computer or mobile device when you visit a website. We use cookies to enable core site functionality, display digital advertisements that fund our free service, and gather anonymous analytics. For complete technical details on every cookie we use and instructions on how to manage them in your browser settings, please read our dedicated Cookie Policy.

Advertising and Monetization

FakeEmail.net is a free service supported by online advertising. We partner with Google AdSense to serve advertisements on our web pages. To display relevant promotions, measure ad performance, and prevent fraud, Google and its third-party advertising partners may set and read cookies on your browser, including identifiers such as __gads, __gpi, or IDE. These cookies can collect technical data about your visits to this website and other sites across the internet to serve interest-based (personalized) advertising.

You have full control over personalized advertising. You can opt out of personalized ads from Google at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of third-party interest-based advertising cookies from participating networks by visiting the Digital Advertising Alliance Consumer Choice page at www.aboutads.info. To read Google's comprehensive explanation of how they process information in connection with advertising, visit Google Advertising Technologies.

For visitors located in the European Economic Area (EEA), the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, advertising is shown only together with a Google-certified Consent Management Platform (CMP). When ads are active in these regions, its consent message lets you grant, customize, or decline consent for advertising cookies and personalized ad targeting before any non-essential cookies are set.

Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 to collect anonymous statistics about how visitors interact with our website. This helps us understand which pages are visited most frequently, which language versions are in demand, and how users navigate our interface. Google Analytics 4 places analytics cookies (such as _ga and _ga_*) to distinguish unique sessions without identifying you personally. In the EEA, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, Google Analytics runs with consent denied by default: it does not set analytics cookies unless you have given consent, and it only sends limited cookieless signals (such as the page viewed and a timestamp) that Google uses for aggregated measurement.

Third-Party Services

We work with trusted third-party providers who process limited data on our behalf to ensure our service functions smoothly and securely:

• Cloudflare: We use Cloudflare as our content delivery network and reverse proxy to secure our website against attacks, improve page loading speeds, and cache static files. Cloudflare processes incoming web traffic, including IP addresses, in accordance with industry security standards.
• Google AdSense: Serves contextual and personalized advertisements to fund the operation of FakeEmail.net.
• Google Analytics 4: Measures aggregated, anonymous usage patterns to help us improve site navigation and usability.
• Google reCAPTCHA: We employ Google reCAPTCHA on our contact form to prevent automated bots from submitting spam. The reCAPTCHA tool analyzes hardware and software characteristics (such as device settings and mouse movements) to determine whether an interaction is human. The use of reCAPTCHA is subject to Google's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

We do not sell your personal data to data brokers, and we do not build commercial profiling dossiers on our visitors.

How Long We Keep Data

We practice data minimization and do not store information longer than necessary for its intended purpose:

• Active session data: The temporary email addresses you generate and the incoming messages visible in your inbox are held in your browser session. If you remain inactive for roughly two hours, the session expires. The corresponding session data stored on our servers is permanently deleted during scheduled maintenance, typically within about a week of inactivity.
• Unopened incoming mail: Messages sent to addresses on our domains that have not been loaded into an active browser session remain on our incoming mail servers until they are expunged during routine maintenance.
• Server log files: Technical logs maintained by our web host and CDN are purged on regular operational cycles once security and debugging needs have passed.
• Support communications: Inquiries sent through our contact form are kept only as long as necessary to answer your questions or fulfill legal recordkeeping requirements.

Legal Bases for Processing (GDPR)

If you reside in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, or Switzerland, we process your personal data under the following legal bases established by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and equivalent laws:

• Legitimate Interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR): We process technical logs and the essential ci_session cookie based on our legitimate interest in operating a stable, reliable temporary email platform, maintaining network security, preventing fraud, and enforcing our Acceptable Use Policy.
• Consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR): We deploy non-essential cookies, including those used for Google Analytics and personalized Google AdSense advertising, only when you have granted prior consent. You may revoke or modify your consent at any time.
• Handling Your Request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR): When you send a message via our contact form, we process your submitted contact details specifically to evaluate and reply to your communication.

Your Rights

Depending on your geographic location, data protection laws (including the GDPR in Europe and the UK) grant you specific rights concerning personal data you provide to us:

• Right of Access: You can ask whether we hold any personal data about you and request a copy of that data.
• Right to Rectification: You can ask us to correct inaccurate or incomplete details you previously sent to us.
• Right to Erasure: You can request that we delete personal data associated with you, such as prior contact form messages.
• Right to Object or Restrict Processing: You may object to the processing of your data based on legitimate interests or request that we restrict its processing under certain statutory circumstances.
• Right to Withdraw Consent: Where our processing relies on your consent (such as analytics or ad personalization cookies), you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing carried out prior to withdrawal.
• Right to Lodge a Complaint: You have the right to lodge a complaint with your national or regional data protection authority if you believe our data processing violates applicable privacy laws.

Please note that because we do not require account registration and do not attach identity records to temporary email addresses, we cannot link a specific temporary email address or its contents to an identifiable person unless you voluntarily contact us with verifiable details.

Children's Privacy

FakeEmail.net is not directed to, marketed to, or intended for use by children under the age of 16. We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or maintain personal information from anyone under 16 years of age. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that a child under your care has submitted personal data through our contact form, please reach out to us at zoombilisim@gmail.com, and we will promptly delete that information from our records.

International Transfers and Hosting

Our primary web and mail servers are located within the European Union. However, because we utilize globally distributed third-party providers such as Cloudflare and Google, technical log data and cookie identifiers may be routed through or stored on servers located outside your home country, including in the United States. Where personal data is transferred across international borders, our service providers utilize standard contractual clauses and recognized data transfer frameworks to ensure an equivalent level of legal protection.

Security

We employ appropriate technical and organizational measures to safeguard our infrastructure and incoming mail data. Our web pages are served exclusively over encrypted HTTPS connections to protect data in transit between your browser and our servers. Expired sessions are cleaned up automatically, and we maintain firewall configurations to protect against unauthorized server access. However, no method of transmission over the internet or electronic storage is completely infallible. We strongly remind you that temporary email addresses are publicly accessible to anyone who enters the same username, so you should never use FakeEmail.net for sensitive or confidential communications.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect operational modifications, technical improvements, or changes in applicable data protection laws. Whenever revisions are published, we will update the "Last updated" date displayed at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle your data.
