Privacy Policy

This policy explains what information TemporaryNum handles when you visit the site, why, and what choices you have.

In short

• You can use the site without an account and without giving us any personal information.
• There are no forms, no advertising and no ad pixels.
• We count visits with Google Analytics.
• We do not sell your data or share it for advertising.
• Messages sent to the public numbers are visible to everyone.

Information we collect

Usage data. When you visit, Google Analytics collects information such as the pages you view, the time and length of your visit, the site that sent you, your browser, device and operating system, and your approximate location (country or city). We use it to count visitors and see which pages people use.

Technical logs. Our hosting and network provider, Cloudflare, processes technical data such as your IP address and browser details to deliver pages and protect the site from abuse.

Emails you send us. If you email us, we receive your email address and whatever you write, and use them only to reply.

Google Analytics and cookies

Google Analytics sets cookies in your browser (_ga and _ga_ followed by an ID) to tell new visits from returning ones. These are the only cookies the site sets. We have turned off Google signals and ad personalization, and we do not link Google Analytics to any advertising account. Google processes this data under its own privacy policy.

To stop it, block cookies for this site in your browser settings, use a content blocker, or install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on. The site works the same without these cookies.

The site does not respond to Do Not Track signals.

Public numbers and messages

The numbers on this site are public. Messages they receive are shown to every visitor and deleted within 90 days. We do not know who sent a message or who reads it, and we do not link messages to visitors.

Never use these numbers for anything personal, and do not send personal information to them. If a message shown on the site contains your personal information, email us with the number and the message and we will remove it from this site.

How we use information

• to count visits and understand which pages are useful;
• to keep the site running, fix errors and prevent abuse;
• to answer your emails;
• to meet legal obligations.

Who we share it with

We share information only with the service providers that run the site for us (Google for analytics, Cloudflare for hosting), and with authorities when the law requires it. We do not sell, rent or trade personal information.

Where it is processed

Google and Cloudflare may process data in the United States and other countries, which may have different data protection laws from yours.

How long we keep it

Analytics data is kept for the retention period set in Google Analytics and then deleted. Technical logs are kept for the period set by our hosting provider. Emails are kept as long as needed to deal with your request.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, including in the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and California, you may have the right to:

• know what personal data we hold about you and get a copy;
• correct it or ask us to delete it;
• object to or restrict how it is used;
• complain to your local data protection authority.

Because we do not ask who you are, we usually cannot match analytics data to a person. To use any of these rights, email us and we will reply within one month.

Children

The site is not meant for children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect information from them. If you believe a child has sent us personal information, email us and we will delete it.

Security

The site is served only over HTTPS. No method of sending or storing data online is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Other websites

Links to other websites, including app.privasto.com if you choose to buy a number, are covered by those websites' own privacy policies.

Changes

We may update this policy. The date at the top shows the latest version.
