Security First Architecture

Our Security Philosophy

At OneTimeEmail, security isn't an afterthoughtβ€”it's the foundation of everything we build. Our security-first approach ensures that every feature, every process, and every decision prioritizes the protection of user data and privacy above all else.

We employ a multi-layered security strategy that combines industry-standard encryption, secure infrastructure, automated threat detection, and privacy-by-design principles to create one of the most secure temporary email services available.

End-to-End Encryption

πŸ”

TLS 1.3 Encryption

All communications between your browser and our servers are protected by the latest TLS 1.3 protocol, providing forward secrecy and perfect protection against eavesdropping and man-in-the-middle attacks.

Technical Details:

  • β€’ TLS 1.3 with forward secrecy
  • β€’ AES-256-GCM encryption
  • β€’ ECDHE key exchange
  • β€’ SHA-384 hash algorithm
πŸ—οΈ

Database Encryption

Temporary email data is encrypted at rest using industry-standard AES-256 encryption. This ensures that even if our database were compromised, the data would remain unreadable to unauthorized parties.

Encryption Features:

  • β€’ AES-256 encryption at rest
  • β€’ Encrypted database backups
  • β€’ Secure key management
  • β€’ Zero-knowledge architecture
πŸ”„

Email Transmission Security

Emails are transmitted through secure channels with additional encryption layers. Our mail processing infrastructure uses SMTP over TLS and implements SPF, DKIM, and DMARC for email authentication.

Email Security:

  • β€’ SMTP over TLS encryption
  • β€’ SPF, DKIM, DMARC validation
  • β€’ Content filtering and scanning
  • β€’ Malware detection

Data Protection & Privacy

πŸ—‘οΈ Automatic Data Deletion

10-Minute Expiration Policy

Every temporary email address and all associated data is automatically deleted after exactly 10 minutes. This ensures that no residual data remains in our systems, providing complete privacy protection.

Secure Deletion Process

We use secure deletion protocols that overwrite data multiple times before removal, ensuring that deleted information cannot be recovered through forensic analysis.

No Data Retention

Unlike traditional email services that retain data indefinitely, OneTimeEmail maintains a strict no-retention policy that automatically purges all data upon expiration.

🚫 Zero-Tracking Policy

No User Analytics

We don't track user behavior, browsing patterns, or usage analytics. Your interactions with our service remain completely private and unmonitored.

No Cookies or Tracking

Our service operates without cookies, tracking pixels, or any form of behavioral tracking. Your privacy is maintained throughout your entire session.

Anonymous Usage

All temporary email generation and usage occurs anonymously. We don't log IP addresses, device information, or any personally identifiable data.
