FAQ

What is Privacy Weekly?

Privacy Weekly is a service that helps you keep your real e-mail address private. Every interaction online now requires entering an e-mail address, often leading to unwanted messages in your inbox. Privacy Weekly gives users new e-mails to use for these signups, allowing you to instantly manage your e-mail subscriptions.

Why should I use Privacy Weekly?

Privacy Weekly is for people who want to take control of their e-mail subscriptions. Have you ever bought something online and then received tons of marketing e-mails? How about trying to unsubscribe multiple times, to no avail? Or maybe you’ve received an e-mail out of the blue, indicating that your contact information has been sold to a third party? If this kind of thing frustrates you, you should try Privacy Weekly.

Isn't this just another disposable message service?

Not quite. More of those services focus on giving you a new identity for a few hours. This one aims at giving you a new identity for as long as you want.

How does it work?

We give you new e-mail addresses for each website, which you would enter when you sign up for a service or make a purchase. These e-mails will forward to your Gmail account, so you will still receive the messages. However, if you decide later that you want to cut contact with a site, you can simply delete the Privacy Weekly e-mail you created for that service. This lets you instantly and permanently manage your e-mail subscriptions.

Why do I need to log in with a Gmail account?

In order to prevent abuse, we need to verify that you own your email address. Google’s email service makes it simple to manage that identity. We also need a valid e-mail address to forward any messages received on your Privacy Weekly e-mail addresses.

I have more questions or feedback. How can I get in touch with you?

To provide feedback, report any issues, or make any feature requests, please email feedback@privacyweekly.com.

I deleted one of my emails accidentally. Can I get it back?

No. Aside from the main database, we try not to keep records of emails once they've been deleted.
