Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to the most common questions about TempGBox, disposable emails, privacy, and usage.
What is TempGBox?
Getting StartedTempGBox is a free temporary email service that generates disposable Gmail-compatible email addresses. These addresses function like regular email addresses and can receive verification codes, confirmation links, newsletters, and attachments. Each temporary email automatically expires after 24 hours, helping protect your primary inbox from spam and unwanted marketing messages. No registration or personal information is required to use the service.
How does TempGBox work?
Getting StartedTempGBox creates unique, temporary email addresses using Gmail-compatible domains. When you visit TempGBox and generate an address, it becomes immediately available for use. You can copy the address and use it anywhere you need an email for signups, verifications, or other purposes. Messages sent to the temporary address appear in your TempGBox inbox, which refreshes automatically. The address remains active for exactly 24 hours from creation, after which it and all messages are permanently deleted. A countdown timer shows how much time remains before expiration.
Is my data secure with TempGBox?
Privacy & SecurityYes, your data is protected through multiple security measures. All communications are encrypted using TLS 1.3, ensuring data transmitted between your browser and our servers cannot be intercepted. Data at rest is encrypted using AES-256 encryption. We follow a strict zero-data-retention policy: temporary email addresses and all associated messages are permanently deleted after the 24-hour expiration period. No emails, metadata, or usage logs are stored beyond this timeframe. However, temporary email services are designed for privacy protection, not highly sensitive communications like banking or healthcare, which should use permanent, secure email addresses.
Do you keep logs of my email activity?
Privacy & SecurityNo, we do not keep logs of your email activity beyond what is necessary for basic service operation during the active 24-hour period. We follow a strict zero-data-retention policy. During the active period, minimal operational data may be stored to deliver messages and maintain service functionality. Once the 24-hour expiration period ends, all stored data is permanently deleted, including emails, metadata, sender information, and usage logs. We do not track browsing behavior, create user profiles, share data with third parties, or use your information for advertising purposes.
How long does a temporary email last?
Getting StartedEach TempGBox address lasts for exactly 24 hours from the moment it is created. A live countdown timer shows exactly how much time remains before the inbox and its messages are permanently deleted. Once the 24-hour period ends, the email address and all associated messages are permanently deleted from our servers with no recovery option. It is important to save any critical information you need before the timer expires.
Is TempGBox free to use?
Using TempGBoxYes, TempGBox is completely free to use with unlimited temporary email generation. There is no registration required, no hidden subscriptions, and no paywall. You can generate as many temporary email addresses as you need without any restrictions or limitations.
Can I receive attachments and verification codes?
Using TempGBoxYes, your temporary email works just like a regular Gmail address. You can receive attachments, verification codes, OTP codes, confirmation links, activation emails, and any other type of email message. The inbox refreshes automatically, making it ideal for quickly accessing verification codes and confirmation links.
What should I use temporary email for?
Use CasesTemporary emails are ideal for protecting your primary inbox when signing up for free trials, accessing gated content, downloading resources, subscribing to newsletters, browsing deals, or testing services. They help prevent spam, marketing emails, and potential data breaches from affecting your real email address. However, temporary emails should not be used for banking, healthcare, legal documents, account recovery, or any situation requiring long-term access to your email address. For important accounts and ongoing communications, always use a permanent email address you control.
Is TempGBox legal to use?
Privacy & SecurityYes, TempGBox is legal to use for legitimate purposes. Many individuals and organizations use disposable email services for privacy protection and testing. However, you should avoid using temporary emails in ways that violate the terms of service of websites you sign up for, or for fraudulent activities. Use temporary emails responsibly for legitimate privacy and convenience purposes.
Can I send emails from my temporary address?
Using TempGBoxNo, TempGBox is receive-only. Outbound email is intentionally disabled to prevent spam and maintain trust with email providers. This design keeps the service lightweight, abuse-resistant, and trusted by other email services. If you need to send emails, use a regular email service with your permanent address.
Can I create temporary email addresses without dots?
Using TempGBoxYes! TempGBox allows you to generate temporary email addresses without dots. When you select the email variant option, you can choose to create addresses that work with most websites and services.
