Privacy Policy

Welcome to Black Screen Checker ("we", "our", "us"). We operate the website and all screen diagnostic tools available on this platform. We are committed to protecting your privacy and being fully transparent about how our service works.

This Privacy Policy explains how we handle information when you use our website and tools. Because our tools are browser-based and require no account or login, our data handling is minimal by design. Please read this policy carefully to understand our practices.

By using our website, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of this policy, please discontinue use of our services.

We collect the absolute minimum amount of information required to operate the website. Here is a clear breakdown of what we do and do not collect:

Any analytics data we collect is aggregated and anonymized — meaning it cannot be traced back to you as an individual. We use this data only to understand general usage patterns and improve our tools.

The limited, anonymized data we collect is used strictly for the following purposes and nothing else:

• Website performance monitoring — to identify slow pages, server errors, or downtime issues so we can fix them quickly.
• Tool improvement — anonymous usage counts tell us which tools are most popular, helping us prioritize new features and improvements.
• Cross-browser compatibility — aggregate browser and OS data helps us ensure all tools work correctly across different environments.
• Security monitoring — server logs help us detect and respond to suspicious activity or attacks against the website infrastructure.
• Legal compliance — in the rare event we are required by law to disclose information, we will comply with applicable legal processes.

Our website uses a small number of cookies and browser storage mechanisms. Here is exactly what we use and why:

You can disable cookies at any time through your browser settings. Disabling analytics cookies will not affect your ability to use any of our Black Screen Checker — they will continue to work fully. Local storage data (tool preferences) is stored only on your device and is never transmitted to us.

We do not use tracking cookies, advertising cookies, or cross-site tracking of any kind.

We use a small number of trusted third-party services to operate and improve the website. Each is listed below with a link to their own privacy policy:

• Google Analytics — anonymous visitor analytics to understand traffic and usage. Data is anonymized with IP masking enabled. Google Privacy Policy →
• Google AdSense — if applicable, we may display contextually relevant ads through Google AdSense. Google may use cookies to serve ads. Google Ads Policy →
• Cloudflare — we use Cloudflare for CDN and DDoS protection. Cloudflare may process request metadata (IP, browser) for security purposes. Cloudflare Privacy Policy →
• Google Fonts — we load the Inter typeface from Google Fonts. Google may log font request metadata. Google Fonts Info →

We take the security of our website and the privacy of our users seriously. We implement industry-standard measures to protect against unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or destruction of data:

• HTTPS Everywhere — all traffic between your browser and our servers is encrypted using TLS (HTTPS). You will always see the padlock icon in your browser.
• No sensitive data storage — because we do not collect personal information, there is no personal database to breach.
• Server hardening — our servers are configured with security best practices, including firewalls, intrusion detection, and regular security audits.
• Minimal attack surface — our tools run client-side only, reducing the amount of data that ever touches our servers to nearly zero.
• Regular updates — all server software and dependencies are kept up to date to patch known vulnerabilities.

While we implement strong security measures, no method of electronic transmission or storage is 100% secure. In the unlikely event of a security breach that affects user data, we will notify affected parties and relevant authorities within 72 hours as required by applicable law.

Depending on your location, you may have the following rights regarding your data under laws such as the GDPR (EU), CCPA (California), and similar privacy regulations:

• Right to Access — you can request a copy of any personal data we hold about you at any time.
• Right to Erasure — you can request that we delete any personal data associated with you ("right to be forgotten").
• Right to Rectification — if any data we hold is incorrect, you can request we correct it.
• Right to Restrict Processing — you can request we limit how we use your data in certain circumstances.
• Right to Data Portability — you can request your data in a portable, machine-readable format.
• Right to Object — you can object to the processing of your data for direct marketing or other purposes.
• Right to Opt-Out — California residents can opt out of the sale of personal information (we do not sell data, but this right is acknowledged).

Our tools and website are designed for general audiences and are safe for users of all ages. We do not knowingly collect any personally identifiable information from children under the age of 13 (or 16 in the EU, per GDPR Article 8).

Since we do not collect personal information from any user, children included, there is no risk of inadvertent data collection from minors. Our tools require no registration, no name, no email, and no personal details of any kind to function.

If you believe a child has somehow provided us with personal information, please contact us immediately at the address below and we will take prompt action to remove such information from our records.
