About Poofy

Why we built it

Most temp-mail sites make money from ads and attention. Their pages are crowded, inboxes vanish after a few minutes, and nobody explains what happens to the mail. We wanted a temporary inbox you can trust with a verification code, and actually get back to next week.

What makes Poofy different

• Inboxes you can reopen. Every inbox comes with a password. Your browser remembers it, and you can log back in from any device.
• Private by design. No accounts, no ads, no third-party trackers; our own visitor statistics are cookieless and stay off your inbox. Remote images in emails are blocked until you allow them, so senders can't see when you open a message.
• Built for codes and links. Poofy spots verification codes and sign-in links automatically, so you can copy them in one click.
• Safe to open. Email HTML is cleaned and shown in a sandbox, attachments are scanned, and risky files are blocked.
• Isolated inboxes. Every inbox is separated from every other at the database level, and message bodies are encrypted at rest.
• Receive-only. Poofy can't send email, so it can't be used to spam anyone.

Who Poofy is for

• Privacy-minded people who want to sign up for a service without handing over their real address.
• Shoppers and trial-hunters who are tired of marketing email after a single purchase or demo.
• Developers and testers who need a real inbox to check sign-up, verification and password-reset emails.
• Anyone who has ever lost a code because a ten-minute inbox expired first.

Our principles

1. Say what we store. The privacy policy lists exactly what we keep and for how long, in plain language.
2. No ads, no third-party trackers. Your inbox shouldn't be a place where strangers measure you.
3. Receive-only. Poofy can't send mail, so it can't be turned into a spam tool.
4. Act on abuse. Fraud, harassment and scams are against our rules and we respond to every report.
5. Be honest about limits. Some websites block temporary email. We tell you so instead of promising otherwise.

How we pay for it

Poofy is free to use and has no ads. The core temporary inbox stays free. What keeps the lights on is Premium: a one-time, lifetime upgrade paid in crypto, with more storage and API access for developers and AI agents. There's no subscription, no account and no email to hand over: you get a license key and enter it in any browser.

Using Poofy responsibly

Temporary email is for privacy, not for abuse. Our Acceptable use policy explains what's not allowed, and we respond quickly to abuse reports.
