Privacy Policy for 0mail.pro

Effective Date: [Insert Date, e.g., May 14, 2025]

1. Introduction

Welcome to 0mail.pro ("we," "us," or "our"). We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information in connection with your use of our temporary email services (the "Service").

This policy applies to all users of our Service.

2. Information We Collect

Our data collection practices are designed to be minimal and depend on how you use our Service:

a. Users Utilizing Temporary Email Services Without an Account

If you use our Service to generate and receive emails at a temporary email address without creating an account, we do not require you to provide, nor do we actively collect, any personal information from you. You can use this core feature of our Service anonymously.

b. Users Who Optionally Create an Account

To access certain additional services or enhanced features (collectively, "Enhanced Features"), you may choose to create an account. If you create an account, we will collect the following information:

  • Your Name
  • Your Email Address

We only collect your name and email address for account creation and do not require or collect any other personal details for this purpose. The specific Enhanced Features requiring an account are [Clearly describe the additional services/features that require an account, e.g., "custom email aliases, extended email storage, ability to send emails from temporary addresses," etc.].

c. Temporary Email Content

Emails sent to the temporary addresses generated by our Service are stored temporarily to allow you to access them. [Describe precisely how long emails are stored, e.g., "Emails are automatically and permanently deleted from our servers after [X hours/days] and are not recoverable thereafter." Be specific about data volatility.]

d. Automatically Collected Information (Operational Data)

Like most websites, our servers may automatically log basic, non-personally identifiable information about your visit for the purpose of operating and securing our Service. This may include your IP address (used for security, abuse prevention, and general operational integrity), browser type, and access times. This data is used for maintaining the stability of our Service, troubleshooting, and to prevent misuse. [It is crucial to confirm if this is accurate for your setup. If you log nothing, this section should reflect that. If you log more, specify. Consult your technical team and legal counsel on this point.]

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information we handle as follows:

  • To Provide the Service: To operate the temporary email functionality and, for account holders, to provide access to Enhanced Features.
  • For Account Management (for account holders): To manage your account, communicate with you about your account (e.g., service updates, security notices), and provide customer support if you contact us.
  • To Maintain and Secure Our Service: To monitor for and prevent abuse, spam, and other potentially harmful activities, and to ensure the security and stability of our platform.
  • To Improve Our Service: We may analyze aggregated and anonymized data to understand how our Service is used and to make improvements to its functionality and user experience.

We do not sell your personal information to third parties.

4. Data Sharing and Disclosure

We are committed to not sharing your personal information except in very limited circumstances:

  • Service Providers: We may engage third-party companies or individuals to perform services on our behalf (e.g., hosting providers, security services, email delivery services for account-related notifications). These service providers will only have access to your information to the extent necessary to perform these tasks on our behalf and are obligated not to disclose or use it for any other purpose. [List types of service providers if applicable, or state if you use none that handle personal data related to users.]
  • Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to: (i) comply with a legal obligation or a valid legal process (such as a subpoena or court order); (ii) protect and defend our rights or property; (iii) prevent or investigate possible wrongdoing in connection with the Service; (iv) protect the personal safety of users of the Service or the public; or (v) protect against legal liability.
  • Business Transfers: If 0mail.pro is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or a portion of its assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction. We will provide notice (for example, via email and/or a prominent notice on our website) of any such change in ownership or control of your personal information. [Remove or adjust if not applicable].

We reiterate that we do not sell any of your personal data to third parties.

5. Data Retention

  • Temporary Email Content: As stated in section 2c, email content is retained only temporarily. [Reiterate retention period clearly and consistently, e.g., "Emails and their content received at temporary addresses are automatically and permanently deleted from our active servers after [X hours/days]. Backups, if any, are also deleted on a [specify backup deletion cycle] basis."].
  • Account Information (for account holders): If you create an account, we will retain your name and email address for as long as your account is active or as needed to provide you with Enhanced Features. You can request deletion of your account by [Describe how users can delete their account, e.g., "contacting us at [email protected]" or "using the 'Delete Account' feature in your account settings."]. Upon receiving a deletion request, your name and email will be [Describe what happens, e.g., "deleted from our active systems within [Y days], and from backups within [Z days] according to our backup cycle."].
  • Operational Log Data: Log data mentioned in section 2d is retained for a limited period necessary for security, troubleshooting, and abuse prevention, typically not exceeding [Specify retention period, e.g., "30 days"].

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical security measures designed to protect the information we handle from unauthorized access, use, alteration, and destruction. These measures include [Briefly mention types of measures if possible, e.g., "encryption where appropriate, access controls, secure software development practices." Be general if you prefer not to disclose specifics, but ensure you have such measures]. However, please be aware that no method of transmission over the Internet or method of electronic storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee its absolute security.

7. Your Rights

Your rights regarding your information depend on your usage of the Service and applicable local data protection laws:

a. Users Without an Account

As we do not collect personal information from users who do not create an account, there is generally no personal information held by us upon which to exercise rights such as access, correction, or deletion in this context.

b. Users With an Account

If you have created an account with us, you may have certain rights regarding the personal information (your name and email address) you provided. Subject to applicable law, these rights may include:

  • The right to access the personal information we hold about you.
  • The right to request that we correct any inaccurate personal information we hold about you.
  • The right to request that we delete your personal information (which will result in the deletion of your account).
  • The right to object to or request restriction of certain processing of your personal information (though this may affect your ability to use Enhanced Features).
  • The right to data portability (if applicable under relevant laws).

To exercise these rights, please contact us at [email protected]. We will respond to your request in accordance with applicable law and within a reasonable timeframe. We may need to verify your identity before processing your request.

8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies

[This section is crucial and must accurately reflect your practices. Consult your technical team. Below are examples; choose/modify what's true for your site.]

Example if you use NO cookies or only strictly necessary ones: "We do not use cookies for tracking, advertising, or analytics. We may use strictly necessary cookies that are essential for the operation of our website and to provide the Service (e.g., to manage sessions for logged-in users if you have accounts, or to remember essential site preferences). These essential cookies do not store personally identifiable information."

Example if you use some cookies (e.g., for analytics): "Our website may use cookies to enhance user experience, provide certain functionalities (like remembering login status for account holders), and to collect anonymous statistical data about site usage (e.g., via a privacy-respecting analytics tool). We do not use third-party advertising cookies. [Provide more detail if you use analytics, e.g., "We use [Name of Analytics Tool, if any, and if it's privacy-focused like Matomo self-hosted or Plausible] for aggregated analytics to improve our service."]. You can usually manage cookie preferences through your browser settings. For more details, please [refer to a separate Cookie Policy if you have one, or elaborate here]."

It is highly recommended to be very specific and transparent here.

9. Children's Privacy

Our Service is not intended for or directed to individuals under the age of [Specify age, e.g., 13 in the US under COPPA, or 16 under GDPR, or 18 for general caution. Consult legal advice for the correct age for your target audience and legal obligations]. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under this age. If we become aware that a child under [Specify age] has provided us with personal information without verifiable parental consent, we will take steps to delete such information. If you are a parent or guardian and you believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us at [email protected] so that we can take necessary action.
