Privacy Policy
Last updated: November 2026
This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. This policy explains how information is handled when you visit pages, read the manual, or download an installer. It does not replace privacy notices shown separately in the app or on the App Store.
1. Scope and Information You Submit
This site is a static content website. It does not offer account registration, collect email addresses, or provide an email subscription form. You can read the manual without submitting your name, phone number, or payment details. The site does not accept your existing subscription links, server credentials, configuration files, or connection logs through its webpages.
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscription services. Tutorials assume that you already have your own subscription or server information. A one-time app purchase is not a connection plan. Do not enter passwords, subscription credentials, or payment details in webpage URLs or feedback descriptions.
2. Access Logs and Usage Statistics
When handling webpage and download requests, the server may record IP addresses, request times and paths, response status codes, browser and operating system types, and referrer information sent by the browser. These technical records are used to deliver pages and files, diagnose access issues, identify unusual requests, and maintain the service.
We use analytics to understand page views, referral sources, device categories, and commonly viewed manual sections. We also count installer download requests and clicks on buttons linking to the App Store. These statistics help us improve the content and download service; they do not indicate successful installations, actual user numbers, or app launches. Repeated requests and retries after an interruption may be counted separately.
Website analytics are separate from network activity within the app. Reading a tutorial does not give this site access to in-app traffic, server passwords, or subscription contents.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Your browser may cache this site's pages, fonts, and images. Whether the analytics component uses cookies or browser storage depends on the active analytics settings and browser restrictions. If identifiers are stored, they are used to distinguish visits, associate page views, or prevent duplicate counts—not as website login credentials.
You can view or delete cookies and local storage, or restrict future storage, in your browser's site data settings. Clearing this data may cause visits to be counted again or saved preferences to return to their defaults. Clearing your browser cache does not delete request logs already generated on the server.
4. Downloads and External Links
The iPhone and iPad version is available on the App Store for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are available for free download from this site. Mac downloads are available for Apple silicon and Intel. See the download guide for platform links. Installers hosted on this site are served from the /dl/ path; download requests generate the technical logs and counts described above.
The Shadowrocket App Store product page is operated by Apple. Once you open the link, Apple handles store browsing, account sign-in, payments, and purchase restoration. Purchases of the iPhone and iPad version are subject to Apple's terms and privacy policies. This site does not collect payment card details. Check the App Store page for system requirements.
5. Use of Information and Your Choices
Technical logs and analytics are used to operate the service, investigate issues, and maintain content. They are retained as needed for operations and as required by applicable law, with access limited to personnel who need it. We do not promise a single fixed retention period or treat aggregated statistics as a complete record of an individual's activity.
For information about downloads or help diagnosing access issues, see the FAQ and tutorials. Before sharing an error message, remove credentials, account details, and personal network records from any subscription URL.
6. Policy Updates
If our data handling, analytics settings, or services change, we will update this page and revise the “Last updated” month at the beginning. Changes involving new purposes for collecting information will be explained alongside the relevant feature. Where the law requires consent, we will request it as appropriate; continued browsing does not replace required consent. You can find the current policy through the privacy policy link in the footer.
