No Account Browsing
You can browse OpenWall without creating an account. The site does not ask for your name, password, payment details, profile photo, or address. If you email OpenWall, your email address and message are used only to respond to your request, review a source concern, process a correction, or handle a takedown request.
Saved Wallpapers and Local Storage
OpenWall can remember saved wallpapers and simple preferences in this browser. Those saves use browser storage, not an OpenWall user account. Saved wallpaper identifiers, preview preferences, and small interface choices may remain on your device until you clear site data or use browser controls to remove them.
Uploaded images used in the notes wallpaper tool stay in the browser session and are not intentionally uploaded to an OpenWall server.
Google Analytics
OpenWall uses Google Analytics to understand page views, section views, search interest, saved-wallpaper interactions, device categories, and general site performance. Analytics helps identify empty searches, popular collections, and pages that need clearer content. Google may process analytics cookies, device data, and usage data according to Google's own policies.
Google AdSense and Advertising Cookies
OpenWall may use Google AdSense to show ads. Google and its advertising partners may use cookies or similar technologies to serve ads, limit repeat ads, measure ad performance, and detect abuse. Ad personalization, where available, is controlled by Google and the visitor's browser or Google account settings.
Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on prior visits to this or other websites. Visitors can review and manage Google ad settings through Google's advertising controls.
External Source Links
Wallpaper pages often link to external sources such as NASA, Wikimedia Commons, Pexels, Unsplash, or publisher pages. Those external sites have their own privacy policies, cookies, analytics, and download handling. OpenWall does not control those third-party services.
Contact and Takedown Requests
If you contact OpenWall about a privacy question, license correction, attribution issue, or takedown request, the information you provide is used to investigate and respond. Include the page URL, wallpaper title, source URL, and the reason for the request so it can be reviewed quickly.
Data Choices
You can clear OpenWall local storage through your browser settings. You can also block or delete cookies through your browser. Blocking cookies may affect analytics, ads, saved preferences, or some site features, but browsing wallpapers should still work.
