EMAIL PRIVACY · Workflow idea

Use a separate email address when you want to keep your main one private.

Create one masked email address for a specific signup, project, or test and label it with its intended purpose. Return the new address to the requester so they can use it without sharing their primary email address in that context.

Keep in mind

A masked address may still receive messages intended for the person using it. Create addresses only for an approved purpose, keep the address and its label private, and let the account owner verify the result and decide when an address should be disabled or removed.

04 / Make it yours

Set the brief.
Set the standard.

A few choices shape the work around your team.

Choose who may request an address

Limit address creation to authorized people and require a clear purpose for each request.

Set labeling and privacy rules

Agree on useful purpose labels and avoid putting personal or confidential details in them.

Choose a private way to return the address

Select how requesters receive the result and make sure it is not exposed in a public team space.

Assign an account owner

Name who can verify created addresses and manage them when a signup or test is complete.

Test request and removal steps

Check a new address from creation through delivery and confirm the owner can identify and retire it later.
