Privacy Policy — Temp Mail Bee

Last updated: 18 August 2026 · Applies to Temp Mail Bee version 2.0.0 and later.

Summary

Temp Mail Bee collects nothing. There is no account, no server of ours, no analytics, and no tracking of any kind. Everything the extension stores stays on your computer.

What is stored, and where

All of the following live in Chrome's local extension storage (chrome.storage.local) on your device. None of it is transmitted anywhere. | Data | Purpose | Retention | | --- | --- | --- | | Active disposable address (and, for Mail.tm/Mail.gw, the generated mailbox password) | Reopening your inbox | Until you replace it or erase data | | Address history | Switching back to a previous inbox | Newest 10 by default, max 25 | | Settings | Remembering your preferences | Until changed or erased | | Read/notified message ids | Not re-notifying you about the same message | Newest 500, then discarded | The mailbox password is generated randomly by the extension, is never shown to you, is never reused, and exists only so an expired session token can be refreshed without losing your inbox. You can delete all of it at any time: Settings → Erase all local data. Removing the extension also removes it.

Network requests

Temp Mail Bee contacts exactly one category of server: the disposable-mail provider you have selected. Nothing else. There is no request to any endpoint operated by the developer, because no such endpoint exists. Depending on your provider selection, requests may go to:

These requests carry the disposable address and, where applicable, its session token — the minimum required to create a mailbox and read its contents. They never carry your real email address, your identity, your browsing history, or the pages you visit. Each provider is an independent third party with its own terms and privacy practices. Your disposable mail is stored on their servers, not ours.

Access to web pages

Temp Mail Bee has no standing access to the pages you browse. The autofill feature uses Chrome's activeTab permission, which grants access to a single tab only at the moment you explicitly act — clicking Fill this page, pressing <kbd>F</kbd>, or choosing the context-menu item. The injected script does one thing: it writes the disposable address into email fields. It reads nothing else and sends nothing anywhere. When you are not actively using autofill, the extension cannot see any page.

Message content

Message bodies are fetched from your chosen provider, rendered locally, and never stored by the extension beyond the current session. Remote images are blocked by default so that senders cannot use tracking pixels to confirm you opened a message; loading them is always an explicit choice.

Children

Temp Mail Bee is not directed at children under 13 and collects no data from anyone.

Important limitation

Disposable mailboxes are public. They are hosted by free third-party services with no authentication on the address itself — anyone who knows or guesses your disposable address can read the mail sent to it. Temp Mail Bee cannot protect content held on a provider's servers. Use disposable mail only for throwaway signups and newsletters. Never use it for banking, government, medical, employment, or any account whose compromise would matter.

Changes

Material changes to this policy will be accompanied by a version bump and a note in CHANGELOG.md.
