Privacy Policy

Last updated: 2025-01-21

1. Introduction

At Do Not Show Me ("we", "our", or "us"), we prioritize your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal data. This privacy policy explains how we handle information when you use our temporary email service.

2. Public Nature of Service

Important: You should have no expectation of privacy when receiving messages through our service.

• Every inbox is publicly accessible to anyone
• Any message sent to an inbox can be read by any user
• There are no authentication mechanisms - this is by design
• Do not use this service for private or sensitive communications
• Important: If you use an email address with a service/company, they may continue sending emails to that address. These future emails can be viewed by anyone within one hour of their receipt

3. Data Collection and Usage

3.1 Analytics

We use Cloudflare Web Analytics to collect anonymous usage statistics. This analytics service is privacy-friendly and does not track individual users or use cookies for tracking purposes.

3.2 Email Data

• Generated email addresses are not stored until they receive an email
• When an email is received, both the email address and its content are stored temporarily
• All stored data is automatically deleted after 1 hour
• We do not scan emails for content, malware, or spam

4. Data Storage and Security

All data is processed and stored on Cloudflare's infrastructure:

5. IP Addresses and Logs

We do not actively collect or store IP addresses. However, Cloudflare's infrastructure may log IP addresses as part of their standard operation and security measures.

5.1 Rate Limiting

To prevent abuse and ensure service stability, we implement rate limiting through Cloudflare's infrastructure:

• Inbox refresh requests are limited to 10 requests per 10 seconds per IP address
• These limits are enforced using Cloudflare's IP-based rate limiting
• IP addresses are only used for rate limiting purposes and are not stored permanently

6. Cookies

We do not use any first-party cookies. Any cookies present are those required by Cloudflare's infrastructure for security and operational purposes.

7. Third-Party Services

We use Cloudflare for:

• Web hosting
• DNS management
• Email processing
• Data storage
• Analytics

8. Data Retention

All email data is automatically deleted after 1 hour. We do not maintain backups or archives of emails or email addresses. However, please note that if you use an email address to sign up for services, those services may continue to send emails to that address. Any future emails sent to that address will be publicly viewable for one hour after they are received, even if you are no longer using the service.

9. User Rights

You have the right to:

• Access information about your data
• Request information about stored data
• Request data deletion (though data is automatically deleted after 1 hour)
