Privacy Policy
🛡️ The short version: Your files and data never leave your device. WorldMerch tools run 100% in your browser. We do not store, collect, or transmit any of your files. We use Google Analytics and Google AdSense, which may collect anonymous usage data to improve your experience and display relevant ads.
1. How our tools work
All tools on WorldMerch are built using browser-side technologies (JavaScript, WebAssembly). This means all processing happens directly on your device. When you compress an image, convert a file, or generate a QR code, that operation is performed locally in your browser — not on our servers.
2. What we do NOT collect
We do not collect, store, or have access to: your files or documents, images you upload or compress, text you enter into our tools, passwords you generate, or any personal data you use within our tools.
3. Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 (GA4) to collect anonymous, aggregated data about how visitors use our site — such as pages visited, tools used, and general location (country/region). This helps us understand which tools are most helpful and improve the experience for everyone.
Google Analytics may use cookies and similar technologies to collect this data. The information collected does not personally identify you. For more details, see Google's Privacy Policy.
4. Advertising
WorldMerch displays advertisements through Google AdSense to support the cost of keeping all tools free. Google AdSense may use cookies and similar tracking technologies to show relevant ads based on your browsing activity.
Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visit to our site and other sites on the internet. You can opt out of personalized advertising by visiting Google Ad Settings or aboutads.info.
5. Cookies
Our own site uses minimal cookies. Third-party services such as Google Analytics and Google AdSense may set their own cookies to function properly. You can control or disable cookies through your browser preferences at any time. Note that disabling cookies may affect the display of ads.
6. Third-Party Services
We use the following third-party services which have their own privacy policies:
Google Analytics — policies.google.com/privacy
Google AdSense — policies.google.com/technologies/ads
