How Temporary Emails Save My Privacy

We all care about privacy, at least a little. But every time you type your personal email into a random website, you’re leaving a trace. That trace can lead to endless spam or even worse — your address ending up in leaked databases.

Temporary email is a simple fix. Imagine a mailbox that exists only for a short while, just enough to get your confirmation code or login link. After that, it’s gone. No history, no trails, no strings attached.

For me, the biggest win is freedom. I can explore new services without handing over my personal details. It’s like browsing incognito, but for your inbox.

And yes, it also saves time. Instead of unsubscribing from hundreds of “please come back” emails, I just don’t get them in the first place.
