Privacy Policy
This is the official Shadowrocket site and manual. This policy covers data processing when you browse this site or download an installer from it. It does not replace the client’s privacy information or the policies of Apple or any service providers you already use.
1. Information We Collect
This site uses static pages and does not offer account registration, email collection, or forms for submitting subscription details. You can read the guides without providing your name, phone number, payment details, server password, or subscription link. Do not include this information in page URL query parameters, as it could be recorded with the request.
When your browser requests a page, image, or installer, the infrastructure hosting the site processes your IP address, request time, page path, response status, and device information provided by your browser. This technical information is used to deliver content, investigate unusual requests, and maintain service reliability. It is not a record of proxy traffic in the client. Information about servers entered in the client is not uploaded to this site simply because you read the manual.
2. Site Analytics and Download Counts
We use site analytics to understand page views, referral sources, device types, and commonly used documentation pages. This helps us organize content, find broken links, and troubleshoot display issues. Clicks on download prompts may also be included in interaction statistics, such as when you choose to open the App Store product page.
We also count installer download requests and their distribution by platform to assess download service load and link availability. A click, a download request, and a completed download are different metrics; repeated requests or retries after an interruption may be counted more than once. These statistics do not show whether the software was installed or purchased, or whether a connection succeeded, and are not used to infer the specific proxy content a user accessed.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
When the relevant settings are enabled, site analytics may use cookies or similar browser identifiers to distinguish sessions and repeat visits. If enabled, local storage is used only for page preferences or analytics-related state, not to store subscription details, server passwords, or payment information. Availability depends on browser settings, private browsing mode, and blocking tools.
You can view, restrict, or delete this site’s cookies and local storage in your browser’s site data settings. Clearing them may reset saved preferences and affect how visits are identified in analytics. Browser requests still generate the technical records needed to serve pages, so clearing browser storage does not delete records already held by the server.
4. App Store and Downloads from This Site
The Shadowrocket App Store product page is operated by Apple. The iPhone / iPad version costs $2.99 as a one-time purchase on the App Store. The Mac (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Check the App Store page for current pricing and system requirements.
After you open the product page, Apple may process information about your store visit, account, and transactions under its own policies. Purchases are subject to Apple’s terms; this site does not receive payment card details or account passwords. Installers for other platforms are available as free downloads from this site via the /dl/ path. See the download guide for details.
A one-time client purchase is not a service plan for proxy servers. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers, subscriptions, or invitation codes. Users must already have their own subscription or server details. For information about how those services handle data, consult the relevant provider’s privacy policy.
5. Policy Updates and Help
We may revise this policy as analytics settings, site features, or download services change. Any new text and the month of the update will be posted on this page. Significant changes to the scope of data processing will also be explained on relevant pages. The applicable scope is the one described in the policy published here.
For questions about browser storage, first check your browser’s site permissions and data settings. For setup steps or troubleshooting, see the first connection guide. When describing an issue, include only the page name and steps you took; do not share real subscription links, keys, passwords, or other credentials.
