This page explains what data Black Background Generator (blackbackground.net) handles when you use the site, which third parties are involved, and what choices you have. The site is a single-purpose tool: backgrounds are generated locally in your browser and are not uploaded.
1. What is collected directly
The site does not require an account. It does not ask for your name, email address or any other identifier as a condition of using the generator. There are no contact forms; if you choose to email the address on the contact page, that email and its contents reach the site operator's mail provider in the normal way.
2. What is collected automatically
Like most websites, requests to blackbackground.net produce server access logs and analytics events. These typically include:
- IP address (used to derive country/region and detect abuse).
- User agent string (browser and operating system).
- Referrer URL, if your browser sends one.
- Pages visited and approximate time spent.
- Screen size and device type, where reported by the browser.
Your generator settings, the URL slug, the rendered backgrounds and any PNG or CSS you export are produced and stay on your device. They are not transmitted to the site.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
The site uses cookies and equivalent local-storage entries set by the browser. Categories in use:
- Strictly necessary: small entries used to keep the page working (for example, remembering recently used settings during a single visit).
- Analytics: set by Google Analytics 4 to count visits and measure usage.
- Advertising: set by Google AdSense and its ad partners to deliver and measure ads, and — where permitted — to personalise them.
The dedicated cookie policy describes each category in more detail and explains how to opt out.
4. Google Analytics
The site uses Google Analytics 4 (measurement ID G-Y9VD3W3YQ7) to understand which pages are visited and how the generator is used in aggregate. Google processes this data on the site operator's behalf. Google may also use the data for its own purposes as described in its policies. You can opt out of Google Analytics across all sites with the official Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
5. Google AdSense and advertising
The site participates in Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to this and other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the internet.
You can opt out of personalised advertising by visiting Google Ads Settings. You can also opt out of a third-party vendor's use of cookies for personalised advertising by visiting aboutads.info (US) or YourOnlineChoices.com (EU/UK). Google's advertising practices are described at policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
Third-party vendors may set or read cookies on your browser when ads are shown. The site operator does not control those cookies and does not receive the personal data that Google's advertising systems collect.
6. Third-party recipients
The categories of third parties that receive data when you use the site:
- Hosting and content delivery — the provider serving the site files (logs, IP addresses).
- Google Analytics — analytics events.
- Google AdSense and its advertising partners — advertising delivery and measurement.
The site does not sell personal data in the ordinary meaning of the word. Under some US state laws (notably the CCPA/CPRA in California) the use of advertising cookies can be classified as a "sale" or "share" of personal information; the opt-out links in the AdSense and cookie sections above apply.
7. Legal basis (UK/EU/EEA visitors)
For visitors in the UK, EU and EEA, processing is carried out on the following bases under the GDPR:
- Legitimate interests — running the site, basic security logging and aggregate, non-identifying analytics.
- Consent — analytics and advertising cookies that are not strictly necessary, where consent is required. Where a consent banner is shown, your choices control which categories load.
- Legal obligation — responding to lawful requests from authorities.
8. Your rights
Depending on where you live, you may have the right to:
- Ask what personal data is held about you.
- Request correction or deletion.
- Object to or restrict certain processing.
- Withdraw consent for cookie categories that you previously accepted.
- Opt out of personalised advertising (see section 5).
- Lodge a complaint with your local data protection authority.
To exercise any of these rights, email [email protected] with "Privacy request" in the subject line. Because the site does not maintain user accounts, requests are answered with the data tied to the contact details you provide.
9. Retention
Server access logs are kept for a short period for security and abuse prevention. Analytics data is kept according to Google Analytics' configured retention (typically 14 months for event-level data unless changed). Email correspondence is kept for as long as is necessary to deal with the matter and any follow-up.
10. Children
The generator is suitable for general audiences but is not directed at children under 13. The site does not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information, contact the address above and it will be removed.
11. International transfers
Google Analytics and AdSense are operated by Google LLC and its affiliates and may process data outside your country, including in the United States. Google publishes its own safeguards for these transfers in the policies linked above.
12. Changes to this policy
This policy may be updated from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by updating the "Last reviewed on" date below and, where appropriate, with a notice on the site.
13. Contact
Privacy questions: [email protected]. The site is operated under the laws of [Jurisdiction]; this placeholder will be replaced with the operator's jurisdiction once formally specified.
