Privacy at PhotoMerge

Updated October 9, 2026. PhotoMerge processes selected images and Logo files locally in your browser. Images, filenames and Logo content are not uploaded to our servers or included in our analytics events.

Local browser storage

The batch editor stores style settings in localStorage. Before opening checkout, it temporarily saves your batch images, pair order, Logo, style and completed results in IndexedDB on this device. This checkout copy is restored in the same tab within 2 hours, then deleted. Clearing a batch deletes its checkout copy; expired copies are deleted on your next batch-editor visit. Clear site data to remove a stored copy immediately. Your privacy preference is also stored locally. Remove site data in your browser to clear these settings. The Logo must be selected again in a new session.

Purchases and essential cookies

When purchasing is enabled, Stripe hosts payment entry. PhotoMerge stores an anonymous session association, order and payment references, product, amount, payment and refund status, confirmation and expiry times, and a hash of your recovery code. An essential HttpOnly session cookie links this browser to its orders; clearing it removes access here until you restore a purchase. Recovery codes are credentials: keep them private.

Stripe and our hosting provider process network and transaction metadata needed to provide their services. We do not receive full payment card details. See Stripe’s privacy information and Cloudflare’s privacy information.

Optional analytics and advertising

In the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, and wherever we cannot determine your region, Google Analytics loads only after you accept analytics. Elsewhere it is on by default and you can turn it off at any time. We use your approximate country from our hosting provider only to make this choice and do not store it. Events describe the tool, action, layout, format, count or pixel range, error category and any answer you choose in an optional “coming soon” feature question; they exclude images, filenames, Logo content, email and recovery codes. Purchase events identify a confirmed order and amount. Click “Privacy choices” below to change your preference. Rejecting or turning off analytics leaves the tools available.

Outside the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom and Switzerland, the free editor pages may show ads from Adsterra: one banner beside the editor on large desktop screens, and one native ad unit in the Export panel after you download or copy an image. Some visitors see no ads so we can measure their effect; a local setting remembers which group this browser is in. Ad scripts run in your browser and receive the usual network and device information; they never receive your images, filenames or Logo content. See Adsterra’s privacy policy. Ads are not shown in the regions above, on batch, pricing, checkout or restoration pages, or to visitors with an active pass.

Support and deletion requests

Email [email protected] for questions or requests about records linked to a purchase. Include a transaction reference so we can verify ownership. We retain transaction records needed for purchase support, refund reconciliation and applicable obligations; original image files are never part of those records.
