Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy explains how Merge JPG ("we", "our", or "us") collects, uses, and protects your information when you use our website and image merging tools. By using Merge JPG, you agree to the practices described here.

Image merging occurs locally in your browser using Canvas/Web APIs. We do not upload, view, or store your source images or merged results on our servers.

Information We Collect

• Images: Images you upload to merge are processed locally in your browser. We do not transmit or store them on our servers.
• Usage & Device Data: basic technical data (e.g., page views, feature usage, approximate location from IP, user agent) collected via analytics to improve our product performance and reliability.
• Error & Diagnostic Data: anonymized or aggregated error information to help us troubleshoot issues.
• Contact Information: if you email us, we process your email address and message content to respond to your request.
• Cookies: essential cookies for preferences (e.g., theme) and non-essential cookies for analytics and ads (see below).

How We Use Your Information

• Provide, maintain, and improve the image merging features.
• Measure site performance and understand feature usage.
• Prevent abuse and enforce our Terms of Service.
• Communicate service updates and respond to support inquiries.
• Comply with legal obligations and respond to lawful requests.

Image Processing

Image merging is performed in your browser. We do not use server- side services to process your images, and we do not store your images or merged results.

User Content & Acceptable Use

• Ensure you have rights to the images you process. Do not process content that is unlawful, infringing, or abusive.
• We may restrict access to protect the service or address misuse.

Third Parties

• Hosting/CDN: Cloudflare (traffic routing, security, and caching).
• Analytics: Google Analytics, Plausible Analytics (via custom domain), Microsoft Clarity.
• Advertising: Google AdSense may use cookies or similar technologies to deliver and measure ads.

Data Retention

We do not store your images. Analytics and diagnostic data are retained according to the settings of our providers and our operational needs to improve and secure the service.

Your Choices & Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or export your personal information, and to object to or restrict certain processing. You can also control cookies in your browser settings and opt out of some analytics/ads through provider tools. To make a privacy request, contact us at [email protected].

International Transfers

We may process and store information in countries outside your own via our service providers. Where required, we implement appropriate safeguards for such transfers.

Security

We implement administrative, technical, and organizational measures to protect information processed by the service. However, no system is perfectly secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Cookies & Ads

• Essential cookies: used for core functionality (e.g., remembering theme preferences).
• Analytics cookies: help us understand usage and improve the site.
• Advertising cookies: used by Google AdSense to deliver and measure ads. You can manage ad personalization via your Google account or browser settings.

Children’s Privacy

Our service is not directed to children under the age of 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.

Changes to This Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. We will post the updated policy on this page and adjust the effective date. Your continued use of the service after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
