Privacy Policy
This policy covers visits to Shadowrocket Q&A — Official Manual, reading the manual, and using download links. This is the Shadowrocket website and official manual. It describes how this website handles data and does not replace the app’s privacy information or Apple’s terms.
1. Scope and Information You Submit
This is a static-content website. It does not offer account registration, email collection, or web-based payment forms. You can read the manual without submitting your name, email address, payment information, or subscription details. The instructions on this site are carried out on your own device and in your own apps.
This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscriptions. You should already have your own subscription or server details; the client’s one-time purchase is not a service plan. Do not put subscription links, passwords, server credentials, or payment receipts in URL parameters, as they may be included in access logs.
2. Traffic and Download Statistics
This site uses traffic statistics to understand how its content is used. Data may include pages visited, visit times, referring pages, browser and device categories, clicks on download links, visits to the App Store product page, and package download counts. This information helps identify broken links, improve the manual’s structure, and investigate download issues. It is not used to provide proxy services.
When processing requests, the server receives technical information such as IP addresses, request paths, response status codes, and browser request headers. Logs are used for site maintenance and troubleshooting. Clicks do not necessarily result in completed downloads, and download counts do not indicate the number of installations; retries and repeated requests may be counted separately.
Website statistics do not require access to in-app configurations, connection records, or other files on your device. Aggregated statistics and necessary logs are processed for site maintenance. Public pages do not display visit details that identify individual visitors.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Your browser may store cookies or similar identifiers for traffic statistics, and may also save local state for page interactions. The specific data depends on the statistics settings in use and your browser settings. This browser data does not create a user account on this site.
You can view, restrict, or clear this site’s cookies and local storage in your browser settings, or block statistics scripts. After clearing data, some preferences may return to their defaults, and subsequent visits may be counted as new visits. The browser cache speeds up loading of static resources; it is separate from account information and can be cleared using your browser.
4. App Store and Downloads from This Site
The iPhone / iPad version is available from the App Store product page for a one-time payment of $2.99. The Mac (Apple Silicon and Intel), Windows, Android, and Linux versions are free. Check the App Store page for system requirements. Find links for each platform on the download page.
Apple operates the App Store product page. Account sign-in, purchases, payments, and related data processing after you leave this site are governed by Apple’s terms and privacy policies. This site does not receive your Apple Account password or payment card information. Visits to the App Store product page may be counted in this site’s traffic statistics.
Installers for Mac, Windows, Android, and Linux are available as free downloads from this site under the /dl/ path. Download requests are covered by the logging and counting practices described above. Website traffic statistics do not imply that the app collects in-app data.
5. Policy Updates and Questions
This policy may be revised if data handling, statistics methods, or website features change. The “Last updated” month on this page will be adjusted accordingly. Revisions will be posted here. If a new feature asks you to submit information, its purpose and scope will be explained at the relevant point.
For questions about using the website, download links, or setup steps, start with the Getting Started guide and the Get & Install guide. To check data saved by your browser, use its site information and privacy settings. Aggregated statistics alone usually do not let this site identify a particular visitor’s individual action.
