Get Online Anywhere. Give Nothing Real.
89% of public WiFi portals collect your email before granting access. Temp mail gets you connected in seconds — without the location-based marketing that follows.
Get Free Temp Mail →Public WiFi Access Comes With a Hidden Cost
Airport lounges, hotel lobbies, cafe chains, shopping centres, and event venues all use captive portal systems that require an email address before granting internet access. These systems log your email, IP address, device data, and connection times. That data is typically sold to advertising networks or shared with the venue's marketing partners. A disposable address gets you online without contributing to that data harvest.

Scenario Comparison
The difference between giving your real email and a temp address at any captive portal.
| Scenario | With Real Email | With Temp Mail |
|---|---|---|
| Portal sign-in | Real email logged with IP, device ID, and location | ✓ Disposable address — no real identity captured |
| After connecting | Location-based marketing emails for days/weeks | ✓ Inbox stays completely silent |
| Data resale | Email sold to advertising networks and data brokers | ✓ Expired address — nothing useful to sell |
| Repeat visits | Profile built across multiple location visits | ✓ No cross-location tracking possible |
| Breach exposure | Real email in venue's database if they are breached | ✓ No persistent record to expose |

Frequently Asked Questions
Do WiFi portals verify the email address?
Most portals only check that the format is valid — they don't send a confirmation email. Those that do send one will deliver it to your temp inbox instantly.
What if the portal just requires submitting an email without verification?
Even better — you don't need to check your temp inbox at all. Just submit the address and you're connected.
Can I use the same temp address for multiple hotspots?
Yes, as long as it hasn't expired. Each portal gets the same temp address — they don't share records with each other.
Is it illegal to give a non-primary email for WiFi access?
Providing a non-primary email is not illegal — you're not obligated to provide your primary personal address. Terms of service compliance is between you and the specific network.
Do hotel loyalty portals work differently?
Hotels with loyalty programmes may require a registered email for member perks. For general WiFi access without loyalty benefits, temp mail works fine.
