What is temporary email?
A temporary email address is a short-lived inbox you can use instead of your primary address. It is useful when you need to receive an email without turning that interaction into a permanent part of your personal inbox.

Why use a temporary email address?
Temporary email can help separate one-time interactions from the address you use for friends, work, purchases and important accounts. It can reduce the number of places where you disclose your primary address and keep low-priority messages out of your long-term inbox.
Temporary email is a privacy tool, not a guarantee of anonymity. Websites and infrastructure providers may still process technical information associated with your visit.
When should you not use temporary email?
Do not use a short-lived inbox for anything you may need to recover later. That includes banking, government services, important purchases, long-term subscriptions, password recovery, or accounts you cannot afford to lose. Once a Spoof Mail inbox expires, you should assume you will no longer have access to it.
