Good uses of Poofy
- Signing up for newsletters, downloads, free trials and forums without handing over your real address.
- Receiving one-time verification codes and confirmation links.

- Keeping your personal inbox free of marketing mail and data-breach spam.
Not allowed
You may not use Poofy to:
- Break the law, or help anyone else break it.
- Commit fraud or scams: phishing, impersonating people or organizations, payment fraud, fake reviews, or chargeback abuse.
- Harass, threaten or stalk anyone, or evade a block someone has placed on you.
- Send or coordinate spam, or register accounts in bulk for spam, fake engagement or manipulation.
- Handle illegal content, including any child sexual abuse material. We report such content to the relevant authorities.
- Distribute malware or use inboxes as command-and-control or drop points.
- Infringe intellectual property or other people's rights.
- Attack or overload Poofy: automated mass inbox creation, scraping, load testing, or bypassing rate limits and security controls.
- Access inboxes that aren't yours, or try to guess passwords or share links.
- Probe our security without permission. Found a vulnerability? Please report it to [email protected] instead; we welcome responsible disclosure.
How we enforce this
When we find or are told about a violation, we may, without notice:
- disable the inbox, share links or alert rules involved;
- block the network addresses or domains used;
- preserve relevant records and, where required or appropriate, report to law enforcement.
