# About CheckDisposable Email

> CheckDisposable Email is a focused, self-hosted HTTP API that detects disposable / temporary email addresses at signup. Built and operated by GrowMeOrganic LLC.

## What CheckDisposable Email does — and does not do

CheckDisposable Email answers one question: **is this email's domain a known disposable/throwaway provider?**

It does NOT do:
- Mailbox-level SMTP verification (we don't probe individual inboxes)
- Catch-all / role-based detection
- Bulk list cleaning
- Reputation scoring

For 90% of signup-flow use cases, the disposable check is the only check you need — and it's the only check fast and cheap enough to run on every signup.

## Who's behind it

- Operating entity: **GrowMeOrganic LLC** (Sheridan, Wyoming, United States)
- Founder: Anant Gupta — building developer tools since 2019
- Family products: CloseChimp (LinkedIn outreach), GrowthToolkit.io (B2B prospecting), WhatChimp (WhatsApp Business API)
- No VC funding. Bootstrapped.

## How we operate

- **Self-hosted.** Every component runs on our own Hetzner box in Falkenstein, Germany (Hetzner FSN1). No third-party SaaS in the critical path.
- **Built to last.** Our products have been running for years. We optimize for the customer who is still with us in five years.
- **99.95% uptime** since launch.
- **47 ms p50 latency** on the disposable check.

## Pricing philosophy

- Free plan covers indie projects (500 checks/month, no credit card).
- $9/month for unlimited checks flat for unlimited — no per-check fees, no surprise bills.
- $149 one-time, unlimited forever option for solo developers who hate subscriptions.

## Privacy

CheckDisposable Email does not store full email addresses. The API extracts the domain (e.g. mailinator.com), logs the domain + verdict, and drops the local part of the address. Full email never hits disk.
