Overview
Discardy provides temporary, disposable email addresses that expire after a short period. These inboxes are designed for low-risk use such as one-time verifications and testing. We believe in transparency about how we handle your data and what limitations exist with our service.
What We Do (and Don't) Collect
Advertising
We use Google AdSense to display ads. Personalized ads (where enabled) are managed by Google per their policies and your ad settings.
These ads help us keep the service free for everyone while maintaining our infrastructure.
Data Retention
Automatic Deletion
- Temporary inbox data: Discarded automatically after expiry.
- Email messages: Permanently deleted when the inbox expires.
- No recovery possible: Once deleted, data cannot be restored.
Technical Logs
- Limited retention: Retained for a limited period for security and reliability.
- Automatic cleanup: Then removed according to our retention schedule.
- Purpose: Used only for abuse prevention and system reliability.
Security
We apply reasonable technical measures appropriate to a public, temporary inbox service. However, no online service can guarantee absolute security.
