    We may collect limited technical information such as IP address, browser type, device information, and access timestamps for security, abuse prevention, and service optimization.
    1.4 Cookies and Local Storage
    TempBox uses essential cookies and browser local storage to maintain session state and remember your temporary email during its active period. These expire automatically.
