Our commitment
We do not tolerate CSAE or CSAM in or through Merge PDF. The App combines files on the user’s device and does not host a public feed or a shared library of other people’s documents. We still maintain these standards so users, partners, and regulators can understand how we prevent and respond to child safety risks in line with applicable law and our policies.
Definitions
For purposes of this page, we use the same general meanings described in Google’s policy education materials: CSAE refers to child sexual abuse and exploitation, including conduct that sexually exploits, abuses, or endangers children. CSAM refers to child sexual abuse material (illegal visual depictions involving minors in sexually explicit conduct). For more detail, see Google’s Child Safety Standards policy.
Published standards against CSAE
Merge PDF must not be used to create, solicit, store, distribute, or facilitate CSAE or CSAM. Specifically, you must not:
- Add, merge, save, or share files that depict or sexualize minors.
- Use the App to assemble or pass on CSAM or other exploitative material.
- Circumvent safety rules, age requirements, or reporting mechanisms.
These standards complement our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
Reporting
Because merging happens on the device, we do not receive the files you add. If you become aware of CSAE or CSAM connected to the App, contact us through the Support page and include “Child safety” in the subject line. Include as much detail as you can safely provide so we can investigate. Do not send CSAM to us.
Addressing CSAM
If we obtain actual knowledge of CSAM in or through Merge PDF, we will act in accordance with these published standards and applicable law. That includes preserving information where legally required, removing or disabling access where we can, and cooperating with competent authorities when appropriate.
Compliance with child safety laws
540 Makhado Labs operates Merge PDF in compliance with applicable child safety laws in the jurisdictions where the App is offered. Where laws require reporting confirmed CSAM, we will report to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) or the relevant regional authority, in addition to following the duties described on this page.
