Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Welcome to the TempMailCentral Help Center — find quick answers to the most common questions about our free temporary email service.

📨 General Questions

1. What is TempMailCentral?

TempMailCentral is a free temporary email service that lets you instantly generate a disposable email address. You can use it to receive verification codes, sign up for websites, or access content without revealing your real email address.

Once you’re done, the temporary inbox and its messages are deleted automatically — keeping your real inbox clean and private.

2. Do I need to register or sign up?

No. You can use TempMailCentral without any registration or login.
Just open the website, and your temporary email address is generated instantly. No personal data is collected or stored.

3. Is TempMailCentral really free?

Yes! The service is 100% free to use. You can create and use as many temporary email addresses as you like, with no hidden fees or sign-up requirements.

4. How long does a temporary email last?

Each temporary email address and its inbox exist for a limited period (for example, 10 minutes to 24 hours).
Once that time passes, all messages and the address are automatically deleted and cannot be recovered.

5. Can I send emails using TempMailCentral?

No. Our service is designed for receiving emails only.
It’s meant for one-way communication such as sign-up confirmations, download links, or activation codes — not for sending messages.

🔐 Privacy & Security

6. Is TempMailCentral anonymous?

Yes. We don’t require any personal information — no name, no registration, no real email address.
All inboxes are temporary, and once deleted, no data remains on our servers.

However, keep in mind that temporary inboxes can sometimes be publicly accessible to anyone who knows the email name, so avoid using them for sensitive or private data.

7. Do you store or log emails?

No permanent storage.
Emails are stored temporarily only to make them visible while your inbox is active.
After expiration, all emails and their contents are automatically and permanently deleted.

We don’t back up, archive, or share your messages with anyone.

8. Is my IP address or location tracked?

We collect only minimal technical data (such as IP, browser type, and timestamps) to prevent abuse and maintain system security.
This information is anonymous, never sold, and deleted periodically in accordance with our Privacy Policy.

9. Is it safe to open links or attachments in emails?

While TempMailCentral protects your identity, we cannot guarantee that links or attachments inside temporary emails are safe.
Always exercise caution and avoid clicking suspicious links or downloading files from unknown senders.

⚙️ Using the Service

10. How do I use TempMailCentral?

  1. Visit tempmailcentral.com.

  2. Copy the automatically generated email address.

  3. Paste it wherever an email is required.

  4. Return to TempMailCentral to view incoming messages in real time.

  5. Once expired, the inbox and its contents are deleted automatically.

11. What if I didn’t receive my email?

If you don’t see your expected email:

  • Wait a few seconds and refresh your inbox.

  • Check that the sender didn’t block temporary domains.

  • Try generating a new address and resubmitting the form.

Some sites block disposable email providers — this is normal and outside our control.

12. Can I recover deleted emails?

No. Once a mailbox expires or is deleted, all data is permanently erased from our system.
We don’t keep backups, and recovery isn’t possible.

13. Can I choose my own temporary email address?

Currently, email addresses are randomly generated for simplicity and privacy.
In future versions, we may allow users to choose a custom alias or domain.

14. Does TempMailCentral support attachments?

Basic text and HTML emails are supported.
For security reasons, some attachments or large files may be automatically blocked or removed.

⚠️ Restrictions and Legal Use

15. Can I use TempMailCentral for any website?

You can use it for most websites that allow disposable emails — such as for quick registrations, beta testing, or downloading files.
However, some platforms block temporary domains to prevent abuse. In that case, try a new address or another service.

16. What am I not allowed to use it for?

You may not use TempMailCentral for illegal, abusive, or harmful activities, including:

  • Spamming or scamming others

  • Phishing or impersonation

  • Sending malware or malicious content

  • Violating laws or website terms of other services

Violations may lead to a permanent ban or IP restriction.

17. Can law enforcement access temporary emails?

If legally required (e.g., via valid subpoena or court order), we may comply with lawful requests.
However, because inboxes are short-lived and deleted automatically, most data is unavailable by the time such a request is received.

💡 Miscellaneous

18. Can I use TempMailCentral on mobile devices?

Yes! Our website is fully mobile-friendly and works smoothly on smartphones and tablets.
You don’t need an app — just open it in your browser.

19. Can I have multiple inboxes at once?

Yes, you can open multiple tabs or sessions to generate separate temporary addresses simultaneously.
Each address is independent and will expire on its own schedule.
