Website Data Practices
Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
This is the Shadowrocket Official Site & Guide. This policy covers data processing when you browse this site, read the guides, or use its download links. It does not replace the privacy notices that apply to the app or external platforms.
1. Scope and Information You Submit
This site uses static pages and has no user registration, sign-in, or email collection forms. You can read the guides without submitting your name, phone number, payment details, or server credentials. Do not include subscription links, passwords, QR codes, or sensitive information from a full configuration in page addresses, query parameters, or other content that may be logged.
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscriptions. The guides assume you already have your own subscription or server details; obtain this information from your service provider. Reading a webpage does not automatically send your Config, connection records, or proxy traffic from the app to this site.
2. Access Logs and Download Statistics
When you access a page or request a file, the server receives technical information needed to handle the request, such as your IP address, request time, page or file path, response status, and device information sent by your browser. This information is used to deliver content, diagnose access issues, detect unusual requests, and keep the service running.
We use website analytics to understand page views, referral sources, and device types, and to count package downloads and clicks on download links. When you choose the App Store button, we log an event indicating a visit to the product page to assess whether the link is easy to find. A click does not mean a purchase was completed, and file requests do not indicate the number of successful installations.
This data is used to maintain the site and improve its content, not to sell personal information. Analytics are primarily used to identify aggregate trends. Raw records are retained as needed for operations and security, then deleted or aggregated once they are no longer needed. We do not promise a fixed retention period that has not been verified.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Even static pages may use cookies or browser local storage through analytics scripts to retain information such as visit identifiers and analytics preferences. Actual use depends on the analytics configuration currently deployed and your browser permissions. Language navigation and links to page sections work through URL paths and anchors; no personal account is required.
You can use your browser settings to view, restrict, or clear this site's cookies, local storage, and cache, or limit scripts from running. If you clear or disable them, you may need to select some preferences again, and analytics may be incomplete; the guide content remains available to read. Clearing browser storage does not also remove logs or aggregated results already held on the server.
4. Download Options and External Links
The iPhone and iPad version costs $2.99 as a one-time App Store purchase. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. A one-time app purchase is not a service subscription. Installers are available on this site at /dl/. See the downloads for all platforms page for platform links and instructions for allowing the installation.
The App Store product page is operated by Apple. After you follow the link, your account, payments, and purchases are subject to Apple's privacy policy and terms. This site does not receive your card details, account password, or full transaction records. For iPhone and iPad, see the App Store page for the current system requirements.
Download requests generate the access logs and download counts described above. Website download records are not app usage data, and we do not use them to infer the contents of subscriptions you import or the destinations you access.
5. Policy Updates and Usage Guidance
If our data practices, analytics purposes, or use of browser storage change, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” month at the top. Information about any new purpose should be provided when the relevant feature is enabled; past site visits alone do not imply acceptance of a new scope of data processing.
For guidance on importing information, testing a connection, or resolving common issues, start with the tutorial and the troubleshooting guide. When describing an issue, include only the details needed to explain what happened. Hide subscription addresses, passwords, account identifiers, and other information that could identify you.
