Plain-language, because privacy policies shouldn't need a lawyer to read.

The short version
Every PDF Unlimerge tool that touches your actual files — merging, renaming, unlocking, watermark removal, repair, signing, metadata editing, forensic inspection, Word/PDF conversion — runs entirely in your browser. Your files are never uploaded to our servers. We can't see them, store them, or lose them, because they never leave your device.
A few optional features do send small pieces of data to third-party services, described below. Everything else on this page exists to be specific about exactly what those are.
What stays 100% on your device
The core processing for every tool — reading, editing, rebuilding, and text recognition — runs as JavaScript inside your browser tab. This includes:
- Merging PDFs and images
- Auto-renaming files
- Unlocking password-protected PDFs
- Removing watermarks
- Repairing corrupted PDFs
- Signing PDFs
- Editing metadata
- Running PDF inFOOT forensic scans on a file
None of these upload your file content anywhere. Closing the tab leaves no trace on our end, because there was never anything on our end to begin with.
What is sent to a server, and why
OCR text cleanup (Scan to Editable): if you leave the "Clean up OCR text with AI" toggle on, the text your browser already extracted via OCR (not the file itself, not an image of the page) is sent to our AI cleanup service to fix misreads. You can turn this off and get raw, uncorrected OCR with zero data leaving your device.
Color Sweeper: matches are played live against a real, randomly matched opponent, so the game itself has to run server-side to keep it fair — the board's hidden mine positions, whose turn it is, and each move you make are held temporarily on our server for the duration of a single match only. No file content is ever involved (Color Sweeper doesn't touch files at all), there's no text chat, no account, and nothing about a match is kept once it ends — the moment a match finishes, its data is deleted from our servers for good. Color Sweeper also puts you on live video and voice with the other match participants: your camera and microphone stream is sent peer-to-peer directly to their browser and never passes through or is stored on our servers — the only thing our server relays is the brief connection-setup metadata needed to establish that direct link, and that metadata is deleted along with the rest of the match data. You can turn your camera or mic off at any time from the match screen.
PDF Diego / document analysis features: where PDF Unlimerge offers an AI-generated narrative summary of forensic findings, the extracted metadata/signals (not the raw file) are sent to generate that summary.
Optional external lookups in PDF inFOOT: features like the Wayback Machine check and Google dork links are click-to-run — nothing is sent anywhere unless you explicitly click that specific button for that specific file.
All AI-assisted processing uses a third-party AI API provider. We don't train any model on your data, and we don't retain the text we send beyond what's needed to return a response.
Advertising
This site is supported by advertising through Google AdSense and the Yandex Advertising Network. These networks may use cookies or similar technologies to show relevant ads and may collect information as described in their own privacy policies. You can control ad personalization through your browser settings or the ad networks' own opt-out tools.
Cookies
We don't set our own tracking cookies. Advertising partners may set cookies as described above. Your browser's local storage may be used to remember simple preferences (like a toggle setting) on some tools — this stays on your device and is never transmitted.
Anonymous usage analytics
Each tool page sends one small, anonymous signal when it loads: which tool was opened, and an approximate country derived from your connection (the same kind of city/region-level signal any web server can see — not a precise location, and not tied to you personally). We use this only in aggregate, to see which tools people actually use and where visitors are coming from, so we know what to improve.
This does not include your IP address, any device identifier, cookies, or anything about the files you work with — those never leave your browser regardless, as described above. There's no way to opt out of this specific signal short of a browser extension that blocks the request, since it carries no personal data to begin with.
