Advertising, Promotions, and Personalization

Black Hat Developers may present advertisements, product announcements, and promotional messages across our platforms. These communications are designed to inform you about features, services, and offers that may be relevant to you.

Depending on your preferences, some ads and promotions may be personalized. Personalization helps us reduce irrelevant content and present information that aligns more closely with how our products and services are used.

To personalize ads, we may consider signals such as how you interact with our websites, applications, and services, general usage patterns, device information, and region or language settings. We do not use sensitive personal data for advertising purposes.

If personalization is disabled, advertisements will still be shown. In this case, ads are selected using non-personal factors, such as the page you are viewing, the service being used, or general geographic information.

Your advertising preferences may be affected by browser settings, cookie controls, privacy tools, or device-level permissions. Resetting or clearing these settings may require you to review your preferences again.

When using multiple devices or services, your choices may not automatically apply across all environments. Each product or platform may provide its own controls for managing advertising and data usage preferences.

Where required by law, you may have additional rights regarding advertising data, including the ability to opt out of certain forms of targeted advertising or data sharing.

We are committed to delivering advertising experiences that are transparent, respectful, and compliant with applicable data protection and consumer privacy regulations.
