About PuffMail
Last Updated: August 3, 2025
Our Mission
PuffMail was created to provide a simple, free, and effective tool for protecting your online privacy. We believe that everyone deserves to control their digital footprint, and our service is a small step towards that goal.
The Problem We Solve
Every day, millions of people are forced to provide their email addresses to access content, services, or information. This leads to:
- Inbox Overload: The average person receives 121 emails per day
- Privacy Invasion: Email addresses are traded on data broker markets
- Security Risks: 91% of cyberattacks start with a phishing email
- Time Waste: People spend 28% of their workday managing email
Our Solution
PuffMail provides instant, disposable email addresses that:
- Protect your real identity online
- Automatically delete after 10 minutes
- Require zero personal information
- Work with any website or service
By the Numbers
