1. Scope and service overview
This is the Shadowrocket official site and manual. This policy covers the site's static pages, download links, and related traffic statistics. It does not replace the privacy notices that apply to the app or external platforms. The site does not offer user registration, email subscriptions, or comment forms. You do not need to provide your name, email address, or payment details to read the manual.
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscriptions. Setup guides assume you already have your own subscription or server details; obtain subscription information from your service provider. A one-time app purchase is not a subscription to a proxy service. Do not include subscription tokens, passwords, or complete connection details in page URLs, feedback, or screenshots.
2. Visit logs and analytics
When your browser requests a page, image, or installer, the server hosting this site processes information needed to fulfill the request. This may include your IP address, request path, access time, response status, browser and operating system details, and the referring page sent by your browser. These records are used to deliver content, identify access issues, troubleshoot failed downloads, and maintain the service.
This site uses analytics to understand page visits, reading paths, device types, and use of download links. Installer download counts help us assess demand across platforms and monitor download service performance. A download request or button click does not mean the app was installed and does not indicate the number of individual users.
This site may also record when someone clicks an App Store link to understand use of the store link; this does not mean a purchase was completed. Browsing this site does not submit Config, subscription details, or connection logs from the app. Operational logs and aggregate statistics are used only for the purposes described above and are not used to sell personal information.
3. Cookies and local storage
Static pages do not require login cookies. When enabled by the relevant configuration, analytics may use cookies or similar browser identifiers to distinguish visits and reduce duplicate counts. Page scripts may also use local storage to save interface preferences. This browser storage should not contain subscription URLs, server passwords, or payment information.
You can view, restrict, or clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser settings. Restricting storage may affect analytics accuracy or whether preferences are retained, but you will not be asked to register an account. Clearing browser data does not delete access logs already stored on the server or change data held by external platforms.
4. Downloads and external platforms
The iPhone / iPad version costs $2.99 on the App Store as a one-time purchase. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. See the download guide for platform details. Installers for other platforms are available from this site at /dl/shadowrocket/; related requests are included in site operational logs and download statistics.
The App Store product page is operated by Apple. Once you leave this site, Apple’s terms and privacy policy apply to its handling of your account, payments, and purchase history. Purchases of the iPhone / iPad version are subject to Apple’s terms; check the App Store page for system requirements. This site does not receive bank card details or have access to your complete App Store purchase history.
5. Policy updates and questions
We may revise this policy when our data practices or site features change, and will note the update month on this page. Changes involving new categories of information or new uses will be described here. As this site does not collect email addresses, policy updates will be posted on this page rather than sent by email.
For help with browser settings, downloads, or using the app, see the relevant information in Frequently Asked Questions and the setup guide. When troubleshooting, include only the error message needed and redact account details, subscription tokens, and server credentials. For Apple account or payment history matters, use the relevant management options provided in the App Store.
