Frequently asked questions
- What is the principle of a disposable email address?
- A disposable email address is a redirection towards your actual email address, and it has a limited lifespan.
During all the time specified when you created it, emails sent to this address will be
forwarded to your actual address.
- What's the use of a disposable email address?
- A disposable email address can be used for several reasons.
- You want to use a service on a web site that requires a confirmation through email, and you know
that this site will sell your address to third parties; with a disposable email address, you can confirm
the link that was sent, yet you won't receive any advertisement that would be sent afterwards.
- You want to participate in a forum, and receive replies through email, yet you don't want your email
address to be gathered by robots. Thus the robots will only get the disposable address, and after a while
you won't receive any more ads.
- Do you keep logs on this service?
- Yes, but for legal reasons only. No email address is going to be sold.
- Do you append ads to forwarded emails?
- No. Jetable.org is a service provided by the french non-profit association APINC (Association for a
Non-Commercial Internet), and the service is totally exempt of ads.
This is why there are no banners on our web site either.
