TrustThisEmail Your email never leaves this device

Privacy

Last updated October 7, 2026

The short version: the emails, links and text you check never leave your device. TrustThisEmail has no accounts, no cookies and no tracking, and it can't see what you check.

What happens to what you check

When you drop in an email, paste a link or paste text, it's read by your own web browser, on your own device. It is never uploaded - there's no server it could be uploaded to.

The page is also locked so it can't send anything, even by mistake. Its security settings tell your browser to block every outgoing connection from the page, and they don't load anything from other websites - no outside scripts, fonts, images or trackers.

What you check is only held in your browser's memory while the page is open. It isn't saved. Close or refresh the page and it's gone.

What we collect

Nothing about you or what you check. Specifically, the site has:

Our web host

The site is delivered by Cloudflare. Like any web host, Cloudflare handles basic connection details - such as your IP address, browser type and which page was requested - in order to deliver the page and protect it from attacks. From that, we can see overall counts, like how many visits the site got and from which countries. We don't see who you are, and Cloudflare never receives anything you check on the page.

The one optional exception: VirusTotal

If an email has an attachment, the results show its digital fingerprint (a SHA-256 hash) and a link to look it up on VirusTotal, a malware-scanning service run by Google. Nothing is sent unless you click that link. If you do, VirusTotal receives only the fingerprint - not the file and not the email - and its own privacy notice applies.

Check it yourself

You don't have to take our word for it. On a computer, open your browser's developer tools (F12), go to the Network tab, and then check an email. You'll see that nothing is sent when you check something.

Changes

If this policy changes, this page will be updated and the date at the top will change.
