Privacy Policy
Last updated: July 21, 2026
PDF Goat 24 is built around one rule: your files stay on your device. This policy explains exactly what that means and what little data we do handle.
Your Files Never Leave Your Device
Every tool on PDF Goat 24 — merge, split, compress, convert, sign, rotate, protect, and the rest — runs entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. When you open, edit, or export a PDF, the file is processed on your own device. We have no server that receives, stores, or is even capable of seeing the contents of your documents.
The Webpage-to-PDF Exception
One tool, Webpage to PDF, works differently by necessity: to turn a web page into a PDF, our server fetches the page you specify and renders it. That request is used only to generate your file and is not stored afterward. No other tool sends any data to our servers.
Local Session Storage
Some tools save an in-progress session (such as a file you're merging) in your browser's own local storage (IndexedDB) so you can resume if you reload the page. This data is stored only on your device, is never transmitted anywhere, and is cleared automatically or when you finish the tool.
Cookies & Analytics
We may use privacy-conscious analytics to understand which tools are used and to fix bugs, and cookies to remember settings like your language and theme preference. These do not include the contents of any file you process.
Advertising
We may show ads to keep PDF Goat 24 free. Third-party vendors, including Google, use cookies to serve ads based on your prior visits to this website or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables it and its partners to serve ads based on your visits to this and other sites. You may opt out of personalized advertising, and manage these cookies, using the links below.
Children's Privacy
PDF Goat 24 is not directed at children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them.
Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy from time to time. Changes will be posted on this page with an updated revision date.
