Introduction
MergeEasy (“we”, “our”, or “this website”) is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information when you use our website and services.
By using MergeEasy's services, you agree to the data practices described in this Privacy Policy. Please read this policy carefully to understand how we handle your information.
Information We Collect
Browser-Based Processing: MergeEasy's core functionality processes files within your browser. This means that files you upload are not transmitted to our servers but are processed entirely on your device.
However, we may collect the following types of information:
- Usage Data: We collect information about how you use our website, such as the pages you visit, features you use, and the time spent on our site.
- Device Information: We may collect information about the device you use to access our services, including hardware model, operating system, browser type, and device identifiers.
- Contact Information: If you contact us through our contact form, we will collect the information you provide, such as your name, email address, and any message content you send.
How We Use Your Information
We use the information we collect for the following purposes:
- To provide, maintain, and improve our services
- To respond to your comments, questions, and requests
- To monitor and analyze usage trends and preferences
- To detect, investigate, and prevent fraudulent activities and security issues
- To develop new products and services
File Processing and Storage
Local Processing: All file processing is done locally in your browser. Your uploaded files are not sent to our servers or stored in our systems.
No Data Retention: Since file processing happens entirely on your device, we do not retain copies of any files you upload or output files generated. Once you close your browser tab or window, these files are no longer accessible to us.
Cookies and Similar Technologies
We use cookies and similar technologies to collect and store information about your use of our services. Cookies are small data files stored on your device that allow us to remember your preferences and improve your experience.
We use the following types of cookies:
- Essential Cookies: These cookies are necessary for the basic functionality of the website and cannot be disabled.
- Analytics Cookies: These cookies help us understand how users interact with our website, enabling us to improve our services.
You can control cookies through your browser settings. However, please note that disabling certain cookies may affect the functionality of our website.
Information Sharing and Disclosure
We do not sell, rent, or share your personal information with third parties except in the following circumstances:
- Service Providers: We may share information with third-party service providers who help us provide our services (e.g., analytics providers). These service providers can only access your information as directed by us and may not use it for other purposes.
- Legal Requirements: We may disclose your information if required by law or in response to legal processes.
- Protection of Rights: We may disclose information to protect the rights, property, or safety of MergeEasy or our users.
- Business Transfers: If MergeEasy is involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, your information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Data Security
We take reasonable measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of Internet transmission or electronic storage is 100% secure. Therefore, while we strive to use commercially acceptable means to protect your personal information, we cannot guarantee its absolute security.
Children's Privacy
Our services are not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you are a parent or guardian and believe your child has provided us with personal information, please contact us, and we will take steps to remove that information from our systems.

- Access to personal information we hold about you
