PRIVACY POLICY

Effective Date: September 14, 2026

GhostInbox respects your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how the GhostInbox - Private Temporary Email Chrome extension processes information when you create and use temporary email inboxes.

1. What GhostInbox Does

GhostInbox provides temporary, receive-only email inboxes that can be used for legitimate privacy, testing, sign-up, and inbox-protection purposes.

GhostInbox allows users to:

• Create temporary email addresses

• Receive incoming emails

• Read temporary email messages inside Chrome

• Copy temporary email addresses

• Refresh temporary inboxes

• Clear temporary inbox messages

• Save temporary inbox information

• Use custom aliases and multiple inboxes where available

• Activate GhostInbox Pro Lifetime

2. Information GhostInbox Processes

To provide its functionality, GhostInbox may process the following information:

• Temporary email address

• Temporary inbox identifier

• Temporary inbox access token

• Custom inbox alias selected by the user

• Custom inbox label selected by the user

• Incoming email sender information

• Email subject

• Email message content

• Email received date and time

• Temporary inbox status

• Extension settings and preferences

• GhostInbox activation ID

• GhostInbox license information

• Pro activation status

GhostInbox processes this information only to provide the features requested by the user.

3. Temporary Email Messages

Incoming emails sent to a temporary GhostInbox address must be processed by temporary-email infrastructure in order for those emails to be received and displayed.

When you open GhostInbox, the extension may request:

• A list of messages in your temporary inbox

• Message sender information

• Message subject

• Message preview

• Full message content when you open an email

GhostInbox does not use email content for advertising, behavioral profiling, or marketing.

Full email message content is not intentionally stored permanently by the GhostInbox Chrome extension.

Temporary-email infrastructure may retain messages for a limited period according to the operation and retention policy of the temporary-email service being used.

Users should assume temporary inboxes and messages are not permanent storage.

4. Local Storage

GhostInbox uses Chrome storage to keep information necessary for the extension to work, including:

• Temporary inbox addresses

• Temporary inbox access tokens

• Inbox labels

• Active inbox selection

• Extension preferences

• Pro promotional preferences

• Activation ID

• License information

• Pro status

This information may remain on the user's device until it is cleared or the extension is removed.

GhostInbox does not require users to create a GhostInbox account to use the Free version.

5. Chrome Permissions

GhostInbox requests only permissions needed for its functionality.

Storage permission

The storage permission is used to save temporary inbox configuration, inbox access information, extension preferences, activation information, and Pro license status.

Host access

GhostInbox communicates with temporary-email API infrastructure using HTTPS so it can:

• Create temporary inboxes

• Retrieve available temporary-email domains

• Check incoming messages

• Read selected messages

• Clear temporary inboxes

This network access is necessary for the core purpose of the extension.

6. Temporary Inbox Access Tokens

GhostInbox may store an access token associated with a temporary inbox.

This token is used only to access that temporary inbox and retrieve its messages.

Users should treat temporary inbox access as temporary and should not use GhostInbox for highly sensitive information.

7. Payment Information

GhostInbox Pro Lifetime may be purchased through PayPal.

Payment takes place on PayPal's website.

GhostInbox does not collect or store:

• Credit card numbers

• Debit card numbers

• Bank account information

• PayPal passwords

• PayPal login credentials

Payment information entered on PayPal is processed according to PayPal's own privacy practices and terms.

GhostInbox may use information related to a completed purchase, such as a transaction reference supplied by the purchaser, solely when needed to verify a Pro purchase and issue a license.

8. GhostInbox Pro Activation

GhostInbox Pro may use:

• A locally generated Activation ID

• A cryptographically signed license key

The extension verifies the license to determine whether Pro features should be enabled.

GhostInbox does not use license information for advertising or profiling.

9. Information GhostInbox Does Not Sell

GhostInbox does not sell, rent, or trade user data.

GhostInbox does not use temporary inbox data or email contents for:

• Advertising

• Targeted advertising

• Behavioral profiling

• Credit scoring

• Lending decisions

• Data brokerage

• Marketing databases

10. Sharing of Information

GhostInbox does not transfer user data to third parties except where necessary to provide the extension's requested functionality.

For example:

• Temporary email infrastructure processes temporary inbox addresses and incoming email messages.

• PayPal processes payments when a user chooses to purchase GhostInbox Pro.

GhostInbox does not share temporary email activity with advertisers.

11. Data Retention

Different categories of information may have different retention periods.

Extension settings and inbox information

These may remain in Chrome storage until:

• The user changes or clears them

• The extension is removed

• Chrome extension storage is cleared

Temporary email messages

Temporary inboxes are not intended for permanent storage. Messages may expire or be deleted according to the temporary-email infrastructure's retention rules.

Payment records

PayPal may retain transaction information according to its own legal, financial, and privacy obligations.

12. Deleting Your Data

Users may remove GhostInbox data by:

• Clearing an inbox

• Creating a replacement inbox

• Removing saved inboxes where supported

• Clearing Chrome extension data

• Uninstalling GhostInbox

Removing the extension removes locally stored GhostInbox extension data from that Chrome profile, subject to Chrome's own storage and synchronization behavior.

13. Security

GhostInbox is designed to minimize unnecessary collection of personal information.

However, temporary email should not be used for accounts or communications involving highly sensitive or long-term information.

Do not use a temporary GhostInbox address for:

• Banking

• Financial accounts

• Medical accounts

• Government services

• Critical password recovery

• Important long-term accounts

• Confidential business information

• Any service where losing access to the email address could cause serious harm

Temporary email addresses can expire or become unavailable.

14. Acceptable Use

GhostInbox is intended for legitimate privacy and testing purposes.

GhostInbox must not be used for:

• Fraud

• Phishing

• Spam

• Harassment

• Impersonation

• Malware distribution

• Illegal activity

• Automated mass account creation

• Circumventing bans or restrictions

• Abusing free trials or promotions

• Violating another service's terms

Users are responsible for complying with applicable laws and the terms of websites and services they use.

15. Children's Privacy

GhostInbox is not specifically designed for children and does not knowingly collect personal information from children for advertising or profiling purposes.

16. Third-Party Services

GhostInbox relies on external infrastructure where necessary to provide temporary-email and payment functionality.

Third-party services may have their own privacy policies and terms.

GhostInbox is not responsible for the independent privacy practices of third-party services.
