Privacy Policy

1. Scope and information boundaries

This is a static content website. It has no user registration, sign-in, or email retention, and does not ask visitors to submit their name, phone number, payment details, or subscription links. You don’t need a website account to read the manual.

This policy applies to pages on this site and download requests made through it. It does not replace the privacy information for the Shadowrocket app or cover how Apple or your service provider handles information independently. Manage any subscriptions or server details you already have in the app. Get subscription links from your service provider; do not enter them in this website’s address bar or include them in feedback.

2. Visit data and download statistics

The site uses analytics to understand page readership, commonly used device types, content entry points, and broken links, and to improve the documentation. Analytics may include page paths, referring pages, visit times, browser and operating system details, and interaction events. Network requests also send operational information such as IP addresses, request URLs, and response status codes to the server to deliver pages, troubleshoot issues, and maintain the service.

We count requests to download installers and clicks through to the App Store to understand how visitors use the download options for each platform. Download counts do not indicate the number of installations, and a store click does not mean a purchase was completed. These statistics are not used to access app configurations, connection logs, passwords, or subscription details. We do not receive visitors’ payment information from Apple.

3. Cookies and local storage

Delivering pages and measuring visits may involve cookies. Browser local storage may also be used to save interface preferences. Identifiers and settings in cookies or local storage should only support the relevant features; they are not used to store subscription links, server passwords, or payment information. This policy treats browser cache and account information separately. Clearing your cache does not delete purchase records in your Apple Account.

You can check, restrict, or delete this site’s cookies, local storage, and cache in your browser settings, or use the browser’s privacy controls. Restricting storage may prevent some preferences from being saved and affect the continuity of visit statistics. The static manual remains available to read.

4. Downloads and external links

The iPhone and iPad version costs $2.99 as a one-time App Store purchase. The Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Mac versions are available for Apple silicon and Intel. Installers for desktop and Android platforms are available from this site at /dl/shadowrocket/. Find all platform download options on the all-platform downloads page.

Shadowrocket’s App Store product page is operated by Apple. Once you open it, account sign-in, purchases, payments, and related data handling are subject to Apple’s terms and privacy policies. Check the App Store page for system requirements. Our download statistics do not give us access to Apple Account details or order information.

A one-time purchase of the app is not a subscription to a proxy service. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscriptions. Getting the app is separate from any services you choose to use from a provider.

5. Data protection and policy updates

Visit logs and analytics data are handled only as needed to operate the site, troubleshoot issues, and maintain its content. Access and retention are limited to what is necessary. Network transmission and browser environments carry inherent risks. Do not expose personal credentials in URL parameters or screenshots. Before sharing troubleshooting materials, redact subscription URLs, passwords, and personally identifying information.

If site features or data handling practices change, we’ll revise this policy on this page and update the “Last updated” month at the top.
