I would be extremely cautious telling people that blockchain.info has no control. They can certainly see what the private key is when used by the API, and when used by the web view they can at any moment recover the private key. Pretending otherwise is their mantra.

<p>I am generating new addresses with the blockchain api and sending funds to them from a primary blockchain.info address. Just wanted to know if those transactions will appear in the blockchain or are they internal to blockchain.info?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

Why don't you send a small transaction and try it? :)
