Privacy Policy
Last updated: October 2026
This policy applies to visits to shadow-guide.com. This site is the official Shadowrocket website and guide, with information on verifying the genuine app, purchasing it, and using the client. The terms below explain what data may be involved when you visit the website. They do not replace the privacy information for the Shadowrocket app or Apple's rules for the App Store and purchases.
1. Scope and information you submit
This is a static website. It has no account registration, email subscription, or file upload features. You can read the guide without submitting your name, email address, payment details, or server credentials. This site does not provide, sell, or recommend proxy servers or subscriptions; setup instructions assume you already have your own subscription or server details.
Subscriptions and connection settings are configured in the app; this website does not receive those settings. Do not include actual subscription links, passwords, QR codes, or access tokens in this site's URL query parameters. The app's one-time purchase is not a service plan: buying the app and obtaining a connection service are separate matters.
2. Website data and analytics
We use website analytics to understand how people use the guide and improve page usability. Analytics may record pages visited, visit times, referral categories, browser and device types, and interactions such as clicks on App Store links. App Store link click events measure referral activity and do not include purchase outcomes or payment information.
The web hosting service may also process IP addresses, request paths, response status codes, and browser information when responding to requests. This data supports page delivery, site maintenance, and troubleshooting. These technical logs serve a different purpose from website analytics; a static website does not mean that visits generate no records.
Analytics help identify frequently used sections, broken links, and display issues. They are not used to read app traffic or user configurations. This policy does not promise that analytics data is fully anonymized or specify an unverified fixed retention period. Actual data handling and retention depend on the deployment configuration and hosting service settings.
3. Cookies and local storage
You do not need to enable cookies to read the guide. Whether analytics use cookies or visit identifiers, or access browser local storage, depends on the actual deployment configuration. This site does not store server passwords, subscription details, or payment information in browser storage.
You can use your browser settings to view, restrict, or clear this site's cookies and website data, or use browser privacy features to limit analytics requests. Restrictions may make analytics less complete but will not prevent you from reading the static content. Clearing browser data does not delete settings in the Shadowrocket app or remove App Store purchase records.
4. External App Store links
Shadowrocket is available only on Apple platforms, and the App Store is the only place to get it: App Store product page. Apple operates that page. After you follow the link, Apple may process visit, account, and transaction information under its privacy policy. Purchases are subject to Apple's applicable terms.
This site does not process payments, collect account passwords or order credentials, or have access to your purchases. Check the App Store page for system requirements, compatibility, and universal purchase details. For app verification and restoring purchases, see the download guide; it does not change Apple's transaction rules.
5. Policy updates and questions
If this website's data handling, analytics purposes, or storage settings change, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” month at the top will be revised. Any new data collection purposes will be explained before they take effect. If you are reviewing analytics or browser privacy settings, we recommend checking this page again.
This site has no feedback form that collects personal information. For help using the app, see the Getting Started guide and its troubleshooting tips; you do not need to submit credentials to read these pages. For Apple Account, purchase history, or payment issues, use the Apple support options available on your device. Do not send sensitive information to this site.
