What we store

Last updated 24 September 2026

A short and exact list of what is kept on our servers, why, and for how long. No phrases like "certain technical data".

1. Your account

Mailbox address
for as long as the mailbox exists
Password
only a one-way fingerprint; we do not know the password
Date created
for as long as the mailbox exists
Date and address of last sign-in
until the next sign-in, overwritten
Recovery address
if you gave one

2. Your mail

Messages are stored on the server disk as they arrived, until you delete them. They are not encrypted with your own key — that would cost you search and webmail access. We say the consequence plainly: a server administrator is technically able to read mail, and the only protection is our commitment not to, plus a log that records every check that is made.

We do not read your mail, do not analyse its contents and do not select advertising from it.

3. Logs

A recovery request records what the applicant answered and whether it matched. The subjects of messages and the names of folders are neither stored nor shown to a person: the comparison is done by software, which answers only yes or no.

Sending log (recipients, time)
7 days, needed against bulk mail
Mail server logs
30 days
Web server logs (visitor address, page)
14 days
Account recovery requests
kept, without any mailbox contents

4. What we do not do

  • no third-party counters, fonts or scripts — not one request leaves our pages for someone else's server
  • we do not sell or hand over data to third parties
  • we do not read correspondence and do not build a graph of who writes to whom
  • we do not ask for a phone number

5. Cookies

While there is no advertising on the site we set exactly one cookie, a session cookie, and only after you sign in. It exists so you do not retype your password on every page, and under the law it needs no consent. When advertising arrives, a real choice will appear here — not a box with one button.

6. Advertising

The service is paid for by advertising, and we say so openly. Advertising is not selected from the contents of your mail.

7. Your rights

The servers are in Switzerland and the European Union and we operate under the GDPR. You may obtain a copy of your data, correct it, delete the mailbox entirely and object to processing. Write to us and we will answer within 30 days.

8. Where the data physically sits

Our servers sit in two countries and we name both. In Zurich, our own nameserver on a Swiss address: it serves DNS and holds neither mail nor files. In France, in the European Union, a dedicated server — and that is where the mail and the site files live.

We separate these on purpose. "Servers in Switzerland" sounds good, but your correspondence physically sits in France, and that is what should be said.

9. Who is responsible for the data

The controller is the owner of the service: Andrew A. Valerievich — private individual (self-employed), 57-59 Broad St, Bristol BS37 6AD, England. The same details are repeated in the imprint, linked at the foot of this page.

The service has no separate data protection officer — the team is small. Send requests for a copy of your data, for correction or for deletion through the contact form, topic «Personal data»: we answer within one month, as the GDPR requires.

We set one cookie, and only after you sign in — it keeps you signed in. Nothing here tracks you.
