Privacy Policy

This policy explains what data PDF Merge Free handles, how it is used, and what choices you have.

Last updated: May 29, 2026

1. Scope

This Privacy Policy describes how PDF Merge Free handles information when you use our website and browser-based PDF merge features.

By using the service, you agree to this policy and our Terms of Service.

2. Service Model and File Processing

PDF Merge Free is designed to merge PDF files directly in your browser. The merge workflow runs on the client side for core processing.

Because of this architecture, your selected PDF content is generally not uploaded to our server for merge execution unless a clearly labeled feature states otherwise in the future.

3. Information We Collect

We may collect limited technical data such as IP address, browser type, device type, referring pages, timestamps, and high-level usage events.

We use this information to maintain site reliability, prevent abuse, and improve product quality. We do not sell personal information.

4. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

We use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality (for example language preference) and analytics measurement.

When analytics or advertising providers are enabled, they may set additional identifiers according to their own policies.

5. Security

We apply reasonable administrative and technical safeguards to protect our systems and user interactions.

No method of storage or transmission is completely secure. You should avoid uploading or processing unlawful content and ensure you have rights to use the files you process.

6. Data Retention

Because core merge processing is browser-based, we typically do not retain the PDF content you process through the main merge flow.

Operational logs and aggregate analytics records may be retained for security, performance, and compliance purposes for reasonable periods.

7. Third-Party Services

We may integrate third-party services such as analytics, advertising, or infrastructure providers.

These providers operate under their own terms and privacy policies. Please review their policies directly for details on their practices.

8. International Processing

Our service infrastructure and partners may operate in multiple regions, so technical data may be processed outside your country.

Where required, we apply reasonable safeguards to support lawful cross-border data handling.

9. Children's Privacy

PDF Merge Free is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13.

If you believe a child has provided personal data, contact us and we will review and take appropriate action.

10. Policy Changes

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Updated versions become effective when posted on this page.

Your continued use of PDF Merge Free after publication of changes means you accept the revised policy.
