A private email address
for every sign-up
Your email address follows you everywhere. Give sites a private, disposable address instead: no name, no account, no tracking pixels, and it deletes itself when you’re done.
What your real email address gives away
Spam that never stops
One sign-up becomes a newsletter, then a partner list, then a stream you can’t unsubscribe from.
Tracking pixels
Most marketing email reports when and where you opened it, through invisible images.
Data brokers
Your address is the key that links your accounts, purchases and profiles across sites.
Breaches
When a site you used once is breached, your real address ends up in leaked databases and phishing lists.
Private by design, not by settings
No name, no account
You don’t sign up or give us any personal details. Click Generate and the address works.
Tracking pixels blocked
Remote images stay off until you choose to load them, so senders don’t learn when you opened their email.
Deleted automatically
The inbox expires after 30 minutes, and every message is deleted 24 hours after that.
Receive-only
Nobody can send mail from these addresses, so your temporary address can’t be used to impersonate you.
Safe to open
Emails render with scripts disabled, and dangerous attachments such as .exe files are never stored.
Minimal data
For the free browser inbox we keep a keyed hash of your IP address (not the IP itself) to enforce the daily limit.
Privacy email options: disposable, alias or private provider?
Each protects your privacy in a different way. Use the right one for the job.
| Disposable (BlinkInbox) | Email alias | Private email provider | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Works instantly, no account | |||
| Your real address stays hidden | |||
| Can receive mail for months | |||
| Lands in your normal inbox | |||
| Good for password resets later | |||
| Nothing left behind afterwards |
Use a disposable address for things you’ll use once: a download, a Wi-Fi portal, a discount code, a trial you’re not sure about. Use an alias for accounts you’ll keep, so password resets still reach you. Use a private provider for the mailbox you actually live in.
How to keep your email private when signing up
- Generate a private address at the top of this page and copy it.
- Use it in the sign-up form instead of your real email.
- Copy the verification code when it arrives; it appears as a button, so you don’t need to open the email.
- Leave remote images blocked unless you trust the sender.
- Delete the inbox when you’re done, or let it expire.
