Privacy Policy

Your privacy is our top priority. Learn how PDFMerge protects your data and documents.

Your Privacy Matters

At PDFMerge, we believe that your documents are personal and should remain private. That's why we've built our service with privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought.

Our Privacy Principles

Local Processing

All PDF processing happens in your browser. Your files never leave your device or get uploaded to any server.

No Data Collection

We don't collect, store, or transmit any information about your files or your usage of PDFMerge.

No Tracking

We don't use cookies, tracking pixels, or any other technology to monitor your activity.

How PDFMerge Protects Your Privacy

Files Stay on Your Device

When you upload PDF files to PDFMerge, they are processed entirely within your web browser using JavaScript. The files never leave your computer or get sent to any external server.

Browser-Based Processing

We use PDF-lib, a powerful JavaScript library that runs locally in your browser. This means all the complex PDF merging operations happen right on your device, ensuring complete privacy.

Automatic Cleanup

After processing, all file data is automatically cleared from memory. No traces of your documents remain in the browser or on any server.

No Registration Required

You can use PDFMerge without creating an account, providing an email address, or sharing any personal information. Just upload, merge, and download.

What We Don't Collect

File Content

We never see, store, or have access to the content of your PDF files. All processing happens locally in your browser.

Personal Information

We don't ask for or collect any personal information like names, email addresses, or contact details.

Usage Analytics

We don't track how you use PDFMerge, what files you process, or any other activity on the site.

Device Information

We don't collect information about your device, browser, or operating system.

Security Measures

No Server Storage

Since all processing happens in your browser, there's no server infrastructure that could potentially be compromised or accessed by unauthorized parties.

HTTPS Encryption

PDFMerge is served over HTTPS, ensuring that all communication between your browser and our servers is encrypted and secure.

Open Source Libraries

We use well-established, open-source JavaScript libraries (PDF-lib) that have been thoroughly tested and are widely trusted by the developer community.

Third-Party Services

PDFMerge uses minimal third-party services to ensure maximum privacy:

Google Fonts: We use Google Fonts for typography. Google may collect basic usage data according to their privacy policy.
CDN Services: PDF-lib library is loaded from a CDN (unpkg.com) for performance. No data is shared with this service.

We do not use any analytics, advertising, or tracking services.

Our Commitment to Privacy

As a student-created tool, we understand the importance of privacy in educational contexts. Your academic work, research papers, and personal documents deserve complete protection. We're committed to maintaining this privacy-first approach and will never compromise on these principles.
