We believe trust is earned through radical transparency. Here is an exact breakdown of how data moves through TempNumber, our automated purge cycles, and best security practices.
All inbound SMS messages, verification codes, and sender metadata in our public pools are stored ephemerally. Our database runs automated cleanup routines that permanently delete historical records older than 48 hours. We do not maintain archival backups of inbound text messages.
We do not ask for your real name, physical location, email address, or payment details for our public service. There are no user accounts, passwords, or authentication cookies required to read messages.
All traffic between your browser and our edge servers is encrypted using modern TLS 1.3 encryption. In addition, our backend database uses encrypted storage at rest (AES-256).
