This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. This policy explains how data is handled when you browse the site, read the guides, or download an installer. For data handled within the app, refer to the in-app information and prompts for the relevant features; this policy alone should not be taken as a description of the app’s data practices.
1. Scope and information you submit
This site consists of static pages and has no registration, email collection, or online subscription submission forms. You can read the manual without providing your name, phone number, or payment details. This site does not provide proxy servers or sell, supply, or recommend subscriptions. The guides assume you already have your own subscription or server details; obtain subscriptions from your service provider.
Do not include subscription URLs, server passwords, configuration files, or screenshots containing credentials in page URLs, query parameters, or other content that may be sent with a request. Examples in the guides illustrate formats and do not require you to submit a real configuration. Browsing the manual does not give this site access to the server list in your client.
2. Access logs and analytics
When you visit pages or request files, the server may log technical details such as the request time, path, response status, IP address, browser identifier, and referring page. These details help deliver content, troubleshoot errors, and detect unusual requests. They are distinct from traffic records for proxy connections made by the client.
This site uses analytics to understand page visits, device categories, how visitors reach the guides, and how they use app download buttons. When you click an App Store link, a store-redirect event may be recorded. Installer requests are also counted as downloads. Download counts reflect requests, not unique visitors, successful installations, or active users.
Analytics help improve the content and download service; there is no need to upload subscription details. Related records are used only for maintenance, troubleshooting, and necessary security analysis. Retention is limited according to purpose and actual system settings; no fixed retention period is promised on this page.
3. Cookies and local storage
Page interactions and analytics may use cookies or browser local storage to retain necessary interface settings or help identify repeat visits. The specific data stored depends on the scripts and analytics settings currently in use. An analytics identifier in your browser does not mean you have an account on this site.
You can view, delete, or restrict this data in your browser settings, or use your browser’s tracking protection. Restricting storage may prevent some settings from being retained and may make analytics incomplete; the static manual remains available to read. Clearing browser storage does not delete access records already received by 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 (Apple silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. A one-time app purchase does not include a service plan. See Get the app for all platforms. Installers for other platforms are available from this site at /dl/shadowrocket/; requests are covered by the logging and analytics practices described above.
The Shadowrocket App Store listing is operated by Apple. After you follow the link, your account, payments, purchase history, and store data are subject to Apple’s terms and privacy policies. This site does not receive your payment card details or Apple Account password. For iPhone and iPad, check the App Store listing for the system requirements.
5. Policy updates and questions
If data practices, analytics settings, or download services change, this page will be updated and the last-updated month at the top will be revised. Check this page again whenever you need current information; an older cached copy may not reflect the latest details.
You can stop browsing, restrict browser storage, or close external pages to limit future interactions. For questions about importing, connecting, or using the app, first check the guides and troubleshooting steps to confirm where to perform the action. Do not share subscription links, passwords, or complete configurations when troubleshooting.
