Privacy
Short version: your files never leave your device. The only data that can be collected is through ads, and Google ads load only if you allow them.
Your files
Every SafeMerge tool runs inside your web browser. When you choose a file, your browser reads it from your device, changes it there, and saves the result back to your device. Files are never sent to SafeMerge or anyone else. We have no server that could receive them.
You can check this yourself: load a tool, turn off your internet connection, and use it. It still works.
What we collect
SafeMerge itself collects nothing. There are no analytics, no tracking pixels, no accounts and no SafeMerge cookies. We remember one setting in your browser's local storage, your ad cookie choice, so we don't ask again. It stays on your device.
Ads
Ads keep SafeMerge free. Which ads you see depends on your choice:
| Your choice | Ads shown | What the ad company receives |
|---|---|---|
| Cookie-free ads only (default) | EthicalAds | Your IP address and the page you're on, to deliver the ad. No cookies, no profile. EthicalAds privacy policy |
| Allow ad cookies | Google AdSense | Google sets cookies and may use them to personalise ads and measure them. In the EU, UK and Switzerland Google will also ask for your consent. How Google uses data from partner sites |
Ad companies never get your files or anything in them. You can change your choice at any time with the Ad cookie choice link at the bottom of every page.
Hosting
Like every website, our hosting provider handles the requests that load these pages and may keep standard server logs (such as IP address and time) for security. Those requests never contain your files.
Your rights
Because SafeMerge stores no personal data, there is nothing for us to access, correct or delete. For data held by Google, use My Ad Center. California residents: SafeMerge does not sell personal information. Choosing "Cookie-free ads only" opts you out of Google ad cookies on this site.
