Privacy Policy
Last updated: May 27, 2026
This Privacy Policy explains how Merge Photos ("we", "us") collects, uses, and shares information when you use merge-photos.com.
1. Information we collect
- Photos and collages you create: Images you upload and exported collages may be stored temporarily or for sharing features (for example, when you generate a share link).
- Usage and device data: We may collect browser type, language, approximate region, pages visited, and interaction events (such as downloads or payments) through analytics tools.
- Payment information: If you purchase a paid HD download, payment details are collected and processed by our payment partners (such as Creem or PayPal). We receive transaction identifiers and payment status, not your full card number.
- Communications: If you email us for support or feedback, we receive the content of your message and your email address.
2. How we use information
- Provide, maintain, and improve the collage editor and download features;
- Process payments and deliver purchased downloads;
- Measure performance, fix bugs, and prevent abuse;
- Respond to support requests.
3. Cookies and similar technologies
We and our analytics partners may use cookies, local storage, or similar technologies to remember preferences and understand how the site is used. You can control cookies through your browser settings; some features may not work if cookies are disabled.
4. Sharing with service providers
We use third-party providers for hosting, analytics, image storage, and payments. They process data on our behalf under contractual obligations and only as needed to provide their services.
5. Data retention
We retain information only as long as needed for the purposes above, unless a longer period is required by law. Shared collage links and uploaded images may be deleted after a period of inactivity or at your request where feasible.
6. Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect data. No online service can guarantee absolute security.
7. Your choices and rights
Depending on your location, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, or restrict processing of your personal data. To exercise these rights, contact us at the email below. You may also opt out of non-essential analytics via your browser or ad/analytics blocker settings where applicable.
8. Children
The service is not directed to children under 13 (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction). We do not knowingly collect personal information from children.
9. International transfers
Your information may be processed in countries other than your own, including where our hosting and payment providers operate. We take steps to ensure appropriate safeguards where required.
10. Changes
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. The "Last updated" date at the top will reflect the latest version.
