I download a wallet and let it generate the private keys for me.

Why do you believe so much in the download. is not that your personal data, why are you so sure?

He download bitcoin wallet, and i use downloaded wallet too (electrum) and it can generate private key without using 3rd program.
Did you just using online wallet or exchange wallet? Huh

Looks like you don't know about downloaded wallet.

asking a vague question is not going to get you the answer you are looking for! be more specific. start with why you need your private key? and also what wallet are you using?

bitcoin wallets are open source, anything that isn't open source and on your desktop is not a wallet then. so because of that you can either check the code yourself or trust the many others that have done it already.

Wow dude, your question is barely understandable. That said i'm not even sure if i get it but I'm assuming that your asking how people store their private keys? So thats the question im going to respond to, and i only mildly apologise if that's not what your after.

I've read some pretty interesting methods that go to pretty lengthy lengths in order to make sure it is super secure.
The most interesting being creating a paper wallet split into 3+ and printed via an airgapped laptop into a usb printer, then taking those pieces, laminating them and burying them in 3+ separate locations or storing them in 3+ safety deposit boxes. That's a little extreme for me but if you had Pablo Escobar kind of money in a wallet then why not.
I personally prefer the ease of a hardware wallet, although i understand there are concerns that come with them. I just find that the ease risk ratio sits nicely there for me.
I know friends that have laminated paper wallets that were printed on their usual PCs and stored in safety deposit boxes.
