Privacy Policy

Last updated: October 2026

This is the official Shadowrocket site and guide. This policy explains how data is handled when you browse the site, read guides, or download an installer. It does not replace the privacy terms that apply to the app, Apple, or any network services you use.

1. Scope and information you provide

This site uses static pages and does not offer user registration, sign-in, or email collection. You can read the guides without providing your name, phone number, payment details, or subscription credentials. Your browser sends the network requests needed to load pages, fonts, and images.

The guides assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscription services, and does not ask you to upload a Config, subscription link, QR code, or connection log. These may contain access credentials, so do not include them in page addresses, query parameters, or other public content.

2. Access logs and analytics

When processing requests, the website server may log information such as IP address, access time, request path, response status, browser type, and referring page. These logs help diagnose errors, identify unusual requests, and maintain the site. Parameters included in a URL may also appear in request logs, so avoid putting personal information in them.

Site analytics help us understand page views, device types, guide entry points, and clicks on store buttons. We also count installer downloads to assess resource usage and investigate download issues. A download request does not mean the installer was installed. Download counts do not represent unique users or actual users.

Analytics and operational logs are used only for the site management purposes described above. They are not used to read the client's SERVER list, proxy traffic, or your existing subscriptions. Access to these records should be limited to personnel who need it. Records are retained and cleared as required for site operations; immediate deletion of every record cannot be guaranteed.

3. Cookies and local storage

Analytics tools may use cookies or similar browser identifiers to distinguish sessions and reduce duplicate counts. Page features may also use local storage to save display preferences. These storage mechanisms are not used to save subscription passwords, server keys, or payment information. The actual use depends on the scripts running on the page and what your browser reports.

Use your browser's site data settings to review, restrict, or clear cookies and local storage. You can also block analytics scripts. After clearing data, you may need to select your preferences again, and some analytics may be incomplete, but the guide content will remain available. Browser storage and server request logs are separate; clearing browser storage does not automatically delete server logs.

4. Store links and installer downloads

The iPhone / iPad app 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. A one-time app purchase is not a network service plan; getting the app does not include network service.

The App Store product page is operated by Apple. Accounts, purchases, and payments after you follow the link are governed by Apple's terms and privacy policy. Check the App Store listing for system requirements. This site does not receive payment information from that purchase.

Installers for other platforms are provided free of charge by this site and are available only through the site's /dl/shadowrocket/ path. Requests for these files may generate the operational logs and download counts described above. Merely visiting this site does not give it access to configurations stored in the app. See the downloads for all platforms page for platform-specific instructions.

5. Policy updates and questions

This policy may be revised when data handling practices or site features change. The updated month will appear at the top of this page. Material changes to the purposes or scope of data handling will be explained on the relevant page. The version published here is the current policy.

For help with site use, importing configurations, or connection issues, start with the quick start and troubleshooting guide. When troubleshooting, share only the information needed and redact subscription URLs, account identifiers, and access credentials. This explanation of website logs does not describe how the app or network services handle data.
