With Melt Mail, you only give your unique Melt Mail address and get the desired information

What Company Is Offering:
With Melt Mail, you only give your unique Melt Mail address (which forwards to your own), get the desired information and after a defined period of time (the melting point) the Melt Mail address will be deleted.


How It Works:

Enter your e-mail address in the text field and choose how long your Melt Mail forward-address should be available -- it's the melting point.
After hitting the "create"-button, a unique Meltmail is created which forwards every incoming mail to your e-mail acccount.

After the melting point is reached, they delete your real e-mail address from their database and also the Meltmail won't be available anymore.
So, they only store your e-mail address during the period of time you defined with the melting point.
