Privacy Policy

1. Data Controller

The data controller is the GoneMail team.

2. Data Collected

GoneMail is designed to minimize data collection. Here is what is processed:

  • disposable email addresses: random addresses are generated via the Mail.tm API. No personal data is required for their creation.
  • Received messages: messages are temporarily stored on our servers for the mailbox lifetime (maximum 7 days), then automatically deleted.
  • Session data: a mailbox identifier is stored locally in your browser (localStorage) to maintain your session. This data never leaves your device.
  • Technical logs: server logs may contain IP addresses for security and rate limiting purposes. These logs are deleted after 30 days.

3. Data We Do NOT Collect

  • Name, first name, or any personal identifier
  • Postal address
  • Phone number
  • Payment information
  • Advertising tracking cookies
  • Browsing data (beyond technical logs)

4. Purpose of Processing

Data is processed only for:

  • Providing the temporary mailbox service
  • Service security and rate limiting
  • Proper technical functioning of the application

5. Legal Basis

Processing is based on legitimate interest (Article 6.1.f of GDPR) to provide a secure temporary messaging service. No consent is required as no identifiable personal data is collected.

6. Data Retention

  • Mailboxes: automatically deleted after expiration (1h to 7 days max)
  • Messages: permanently deleted after 7 days maximum
  • Server logs: deleted after 30 days
  • localStorage data: deleted when the browser is closed or by the user

7. Data Sharing

GoneMail does not sell, rent, or share any data with third parties for commercial purposes.

The only technical partners are:

  • Mail.tm: third-party API used for mailbox creation (technical processing)
  • Hostinger: site hosting (technical processing)

8. Security

GoneMail implements the following technical measures:

  • TLS/HTTPS encryption for all communications
  • Automatic data purge after expiration
  • No personal data collection
  • Rate limiting to prevent abuse

9. Your Rights (GDPR)

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights:

  • Right of access (Article 15)
  • Right to rectification (Article 16)
  • Right to erasure (Article 17)
  • Right to data portability (Article 20)

Since we collect no identifiable personal data, these rights are primarily exercised by manually deleting your mailbox via the interface.

10. Cookies & Local Storage

GoneMail uses no tracking or advertising cookies. The only data stored in your browser is the random session identifier of your temporary mailbox, kept in the browser's localStorage.

This identifier is generated locally, never leaves your browser, and is never sent to our servers or used to identify you. It is not personal data, it is not a cookie, and you can delete it at any time by clearing your browser data or generating a new temporary address.

11. Changes

This privacy policy may be updated at any time. The last modification date is indicated at the bottom of this page.
