1. Scope and service boundaries
This site is the Shadowrocket website and official guide. It provides product access links, usage instructions, and troubleshooting information. This policy covers the site's pages, analytics, and visits through its download paths. It does not replace the client's privacy information or apply to product pages and transaction services operated by Apple.
This is a static website. It does not offer user registration, email submission, or online configuration uploads. Manage your existing subscriptions, server details, and connection credentials in the client; do not include them in query parameters in this site's URLs.
2. Visitor data and analytics
When your browser requests a page, image, or installer, the server may log technical information such as your IP address, request time, path, response status, browser type, and referring page. These records help deliver resources, investigate unusual traffic, find broken links, and keep downloads available. They are not a means of collecting the client's connection data.
This site uses analytics to understand page traffic, commonly used device types, guide readership, and use of download links. Statistics include installer download requests and clicks on App Store product page buttons, helping us assess resource needs and improve the documentation. Download requests do not indicate successful installations and are not used to claim a product user count.
Technical logs and analytics data are processed only as needed for maintenance and analysis. Authorized maintenance personnel may access them as required for their work. Any retention or disclosure required by law is handled under applicable laws.
3. Cookies and local storage
Serving static pages and collecting analytics are separate processes. Analytics may use cookies or similar browser identifiers to distinguish visits and reduce duplicate counts. Site features may also use local storage to remember essential display preferences. This storage is not used to save subscription URLs, server passwords, or payment information.
You can view, restrict, or clear cookies and site data in your browser settings. Clearing them may reset saved preferences, and some visits may be counted again. Restricting browser storage generally does not affect access to the static guide. Storage used by external pages is explained by their operators.
4. Download links and external links
The iPhone and iPad version is available on the App Store for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. See the Download for all platforms page for details. Installers for the latter four platforms are provided through this site at /dl/shadowrocket/.
When you visit the App Store product page, Apple operates that page. Purchases, account information, and payment processing are subject to Apple's terms and privacy policies. This site does not receive payment card details or Apple Account passwords for those transactions.
This site logs download requests to maintain its distribution service and does not access configuration files on your device. The client's one-time purchase is not a service plan for proxy routes. This site does not provide proxy servers or sell or recommend subscriptions; using the client requires your own subscription or server details.
5. Your choices and protecting your information
You can read the guide without downloading anything, and you can restrict the browser storage used for analytics. Before asking about a tutorial or reporting an issue, hide subscription links, QR codes, passwords, and other connection credentials. Avoid sharing complete access logs together with sensitive configuration details.
This site uses reasonable access controls and maintenance practices to protect technical logs. Browsers, devices, and external services each handle data separately. For usage questions, see the FAQ or Getting Started. You do not need to submit personal information to read the help content.
6. Policy updates
If analytics purposes, storage methods, or data handling for downloads change, this page will be updated along with the last-updated month shown at the top. Any new data collection purpose or processing that requires separate notice or consent by law will be handled as required. This policy remains available from the footer so you can return at any time to review the current version.
