If you signed up for Timeleft using an Apple device and noticed an email like random123@privaterelay.appleid.com associated with your account, don’t worry — that’s totally normal!
What is a privaterelay.appleid.com email?
This is part of Apple’s “Sign in with Apple” feature, which gives you the option to hide your real email address when creating an account in an app. If you choose this option, Apple generates a unique, private relay email address that looks something like random123@privaterelay.appleid.com.
That relay address then forwards emails to your actual inbox — so we can still stay in touch, without ever seeing your real email unless you choose to share it.
Why does Apple do this?
Apple created this feature to give you more control over your personal data. By using a private relay address:
-
Your real email stays hidden from the app
-
You still get important updates from us, like subscription info and reminders
-
You can turn off or delete the relay email anytime from your Apple ID settings
How to manage your Apple relay emails
You can view and manage the relay email Apple created for you by going to:
-
Settings on your iPhone or iPad
-
Tap your name at the top
-
Go to iCloud > Hide My Email
-
Look for Timeleft in the list to see the email Apple generated for us
