Privacy Policy

Client-Side Processing

• No screen data, hex values, or custom color inputs are sent to our servers
• No content is stored in our databases at any point
• Downloaded images are generated client-side using the HTML5 Canvas API and saved directly to your device
• All interactive features — brightness control, resolution selection, color picker — run locally in your browser
• The fullscreen mode uses the browser's native Fullscreen API with no server communication

Information We Collect

We collect a minimal amount of non-personal, aggregated information to operate and improve WhiteScreenHD.com. We do not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, or any information that identifies you as an individual unless you voluntarily provide it through our contact form.

The categories of information we may collect are:

• Usage data — pages visited, time spent on each page, and navigation patterns, collected in aggregate via Google Analytics
• Technical data — browser type and version, operating system, screen resolution, device type (desktop, mobile, tablet)
• Geographic data — approximate location at country and city level (not precise GPS location)
• Referral data — the website or search query that brought you to WhiteScreenHD.com
• Cookie data — session and preference cookies as described below

Cookies

Cookies are small text files placed on your device by your web browser when you visit a website. WhiteScreenHD.com uses cookies to improve your browsing experience, measure how visitors use the site, and where applicable, serve relevant advertisements.

Types of cookies we use

You can control and manage cookies through your browser settings at any time. Most browsers allow you to refuse cookies, delete existing cookies, or be notified when a cookie is set. Please note that disabling cookies may affect some site functionality, though the core color screen tool will continue to work without cookies.

Analytics — Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to understand how visitors interact with WhiteScreenHD.com. This service provides aggregated, anonymized data about how people find and use our site, which helps us improve content, performance, and the overall user experience.

Google Analytics collects information such as:

• Pages visited and the sequence in which you visited them
• Time spent on each page and overall session duration
• Browser type, version, and operating system
• Approximate geographic location (country and city — not your precise address)
• Device type (desktop, mobile, or tablet)
• Referring website or search engine and search keywords used to find our site
• Screen resolution and display language

This data is processed by Google and is subject to Google's Privacy Policy. We have enabled IP anonymization in Google Analytics, which means your full IP address is never stored. Google may also use this data to personalize ads within its advertising network.

To opt out of Google Analytics tracking across all websites, you can install the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Advertising — Google AdSense

WhiteScreenHD.com uses Google AdSense to display advertisements. Advertising revenue allows us to keep the tool completely free for all users with no subscription or payment required. We appreciate your understanding.

You should be aware of the following regarding advertising on our site:

• Google, as a third-party advertising vendor, uses cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to WhiteScreenHD.com and other websites across the internet
• Google's DART cookie enables personalized ad serving based on browsing history
• We do not have access to or control over the cookies used by Google AdSense
• Ads displayed are selected by Google's algorithms — we do not manually choose individual advertisers

Data collected when serving ads

• IP address (used to determine approximate location for ad targeting)
• Operating system type and version
• Device type and form factor
• Language and region preferences
• Web browser type and version
• Browsing history on sites that use Google advertising (where consent has been given)

You can opt out of personalized advertising at any time by visiting Google Ads Settings. Alternatively, you can opt out through the Digital Advertising Alliance opt-out tool. For more information on how Google uses data for advertising, see Google's Advertising Policies.

Embedded Content & Third-Party Links

Some pages on WhiteScreenHD.com contain embedded content from third-party platforms, most notably YouTube videos embedded on color screen pages. When you load a page containing an embedded YouTube video, YouTube may collect data about your visit even if you do not play the video. This data collection is governed by Google's Privacy Policy.

Embedded third-party content may:

• Set cookies on your device independently of WhiteScreenHD.com
• Collect your IP address and browser information
• Track interactions with the embedded content (play, pause, watch time)
• Use that data for their own analytics and personalization

Our site may also contain links to external websites — for example, links to color theory resources, design tools, or reference articles. Once you click a link and leave WhiteScreenHD.com, this Privacy Policy no longer applies. We encourage you to read the privacy policy of any external site you visit.

Third-Party Technologies

WhiteScreenHD.com is built with a deliberately minimal technology stack to maximize performance, privacy, and reliability. The following client-side technologies are used:

Your Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have specific rights regarding your personal data under laws such as the GDPR (European Union), CCPA (California), or other applicable privacy regulations. Regardless of your location, we honor the following rights for all users:

• Right to opt out of cookies — Disable or delete cookies at any time through your browser settings (Settings → Privacy → Cookies)
• Right to opt out of personalized ads — Visit Google Ads Settings or the Digital Advertising Alliance to opt out
• Right to opt out of analytics — Install the Google Analytics Opt-out Add-on to prevent your visit data from being collected
• Right to use privacy tools — You are welcome to use browser extensions such as uBlock Origin, Privacy Badger, or similar tools while using WhiteScreenHD.com
• Right to contact us — If you have a data request or concern, contact us using the details in the Contact section below

For GDPR users in the European Union: since we do not collect personal identifying information directly, a formal data access or deletion request would primarily relate to data held by third parties (Google Analytics, Google AdSense). We recommend contacting Google directly for those requests at Google's data request portal.

Data Security

We take reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect any data associated with WhiteScreenHD.com. Our security practices include:

• HTTPS everywhere — All traffic to and from WhiteScreenHD.com is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). We redirect all HTTP requests to HTTPS automatically.
• Client-side architecture — Because the core color screen tool runs entirely in your browser, your usage data never crosses the network to our servers.
• Minimal server logging — Our Go server retains standard access logs (IP address, URL, timestamp) for up to 30 days for the purpose of security monitoring and abuse prevention, after which they are automatically deleted.
• No passwords stored — WhiteScreenHD.com does not have user accounts or password storage, eliminating an entire category of data breach risk.
• No payment data — We do not process or store any payment or financial information. The site is entirely free to use.

While we implement strong security practices, no system connected to the internet can be guaranteed 100% secure. If you discover a security vulnerability on our site, please contact us promptly so we can address it.

Children's Privacy

WhiteScreenHD.com is a general-purpose tool intended for users of all ages, but the collection and processing of data associated with our site is not directed toward children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU under GDPR-K provisions).

We do not knowingly collect, solicit, or store personal information from children under 13. Our site does not contain registration forms, account creation flows, or any mechanism through which a child could submit personal information to us directly. If you are a parent or guardian and believe that your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at the address in the Contact section below and we will take prompt action to delete that information.

Changes to This Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, technology, legal requirements, or for other operational reasons. When we make changes, we will:

• Post the updated policy on this page at whitescreenhd.com/privacy-policy
• Update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this policy
• For significant changes, add a notice to the homepage for a period of 30 days

We encourage you to review this Privacy Policy periodically to stay informed about how we protect your information. Your continued use of WhiteScreenHD.com after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.

The information, tools, and services provided on WhiteScreenHD.com are for general informational and practical use only. While we strive to keep our content accurate and up to date, we make no warranties or representations of any kind — express or implied — about the completeness, accuracy, reliability, suitability, or availability of the website or its contents for any purpose.

Your use of WhiteScreenHD.com and any features it provides is entirely at your own risk.
