Privacy Policy

Last Updated: May 6, 2026

1. Our Zero-Upload Guarantee

Free PDF Combine is built on the principle of client-side processing. Unlike traditional PDF tools, we do not upload your documents to our servers. All file processing, merging, and manipulation happens entirely within your web browser using your computer's local resources.

Strict Policy: Your files never leave your device. We do not have access to your documents at any time.

2. Data We Collect

We collect minimal information to improve our services:

Usage Statistics: We use Google Analytics to track anonymous metrics like page views, tool usage frequency, and device types. This helps us understand which tools are most popular and optimize performance.
Cookies: We use essential cookies to maintain site functionality and remember your preferences (like dark mode).

3. Third-Party Services

We use a limited number of third-party services:

Google Analytics: For traffic analysis (anonymous).
Google AdSense: To display advertisements and keep our tools free.
Vercel: Our hosting provider, which may collect standard server logs (IP addresses, user agents) for security and performance monitoring.

4. Security

Since your files are processed locally, the security of your documents depends on the security of your own device and browser. We use HTTPS encryption for all traffic between your browser and our website to prevent man-in-the-middle attacks.

5. Changes to This Policy

We may update our Privacy Policy from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Privacy Policy on this page.
