Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") explains what you may and may not do when using TempMailKit. It exists to keep the service safe and useful for everyone and to make clear that disposable email is a privacy tool, not a tool for abuse. By using TempMailKit you agree to this AUP, which forms part of our Terms of Service.

TempMailKit is intended for legitimate privacy purposes: avoiding sign-up spam, keeping your real inbox clean, receiving one-time confirmation links or codes for low-trust services, testing software and email flows during development, and protecting your primary identity from data brokers and breaches.

In short, use a temporary address wherever you need to receive mail briefly without permanently handing over your real one.

You must not use TempMailKit to break the law or to harm others. Prohibited activities include, without limitation: creating fraudulent accounts or impersonating another person or organisation; sending, soliciting, or facilitating spam, phishing, or malware; harassing, threatening, stalking, or defrauding anyone; evading bans, abuse limits, or security controls on third-party services in order to cause harm; attempting to access an inbox or message that is not the one your own session generated; and any activity that violates the terms of the service you are signing up for where doing so causes harm or loss.

You must not use the service in connection with any content that is illegal where you are or where our infrastructure operates, including content that sexually exploits minors, incites violence, or infringes intellectual property rights.

Do not attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the service. This includes automated scraping or hammering of our endpoints beyond reasonable use, attempts to circumvent rate limits, probing for vulnerabilities without authorisation, and any denial-of-service activity. If you are a developer who wants programmatic access, wait for our official API rather than scraping the site.

Temporary inboxes are, by their nature, low-security and may be public or guessable. Never use a TempMailKit address for anything sensitive, for accounts you intend to keep, or for messages you would not want another person to see. Using the service does not make an otherwise risky action safe, and you are responsible for how you use it.

We may block addresses, throttle or refuse traffic, remove content, and cooperate with valid legal requests where we reasonably believe this AUP has been violated. Because the service is account-free, enforcement is usually technical rather than directed at an individual, but serious abuse may be reported to the relevant authorities.

If you believe TempMailKit is being used to abuse you or others, please tell us through our contact page with as much detail as you can (for example the address involved and copies of the relevant messages). We take abuse reports seriously and aim to respond within one business day.
