Privacy Policy

Last Updated: March 18, 2026

Our Commitment to Privacy

At Free PDF Merger, your privacy is our top priority. This Privacy Policy explains how our tool handles your data, what third-party services run on the site, and how advertising and analytics may use cookies or similar technologies.

What Data We Collect

We do not collect or store your PDF files or their contents on our servers.

Unlike traditional online PDF tools, our service operates entirely within your web browser using client-side JavaScript technology. This means:

Your PDF files are never uploaded to our servers
Your files never leave your device for PDF merging
We do not have access to your PDF files or their contents
No account creation or registration is required to use the merger

Like most websites, our hosting, analytics, and advertising partners may automatically receive limited technical information such as your IP address, browser type, device information, referrer URL, and approximate location when pages load.

How Our Tool Works

When you use Free PDF Merger to combine your PDF files:

The PDF processing happens entirely in your web browser
All file operations are performed locally on your device
The merged PDF is created in your browser's memory
The file is immediately downloaded to your device
All data is automatically cleared when you close the browser tab

Third-Party Services

Our website uses the following third-party services:

PDF-lib and PDF.js libraries: Loaded from third-party CDNs to enable PDF processing functionality
Netlify hosting: Provides website hosting infrastructure
Google Analytics: Helps us measure site traffic and product usage trends
Grow and Journey by Mediavine: Provide audience, engagement, advertising, monetization, and related site optimization services

These services may collect technical data such as IP addresses, browser metadata, page views, and ad-related identifiers for security, analytics, fraud prevention, ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement, and reporting. They do not receive your PDF files for merging.

Cookies and Tracking

We and our third-party partners may use cookies, local storage, pixels, and similar technologies for site analytics, ad delivery, consent preferences, fraud prevention, and performance measurement. Depending on your location, you may be shown a consent banner or privacy choices before certain advertising technologies are activated.

Data Security

Since your files never leave your device and are processed entirely in your browser, this represents the highest level of security and privacy possible for online PDF processing. There is no server-side storage, no data transmission, and no possibility of unauthorized access to your files.

Your Rights

You maintain complete control over your PDF files at all times because they are merged locally in your browser. For advertising, analytics, or cookie-related requests, you can use available consent tools, browser settings, or contact us and we will do our best to direct your request to the relevant provider where applicable.

Children's Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect children's personal information through the PDF merging workflow. Advertising or analytics partners may process limited technical data as described above when pages are viewed.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
