1. Scope and Service Boundaries
Shadowrocket iOS Guide is the official Shadowrocket website and manual, with guidance on verifying the genuine app, purchasing and installing it, setup, and troubleshooting. This is a static content site with no user registration, email subscriptions, or forms for submitting personal information. You can read the manual without providing your name, email address, or phone number.
This site does not provide proxy servers or collect or manage your subscription links, server credentials, or client configurations. A one-time app purchase is not a service subscription; get any existing subscription from your provider. Network activity in the app and visits to this website are separate activities. This policy covers only the latter.
2. Visit Data and Analytics
When your browser requests pages, fonts, and images, the hosting infrastructure may process your IP address, request time, page path, response status, browser identifier, and referrer information. This technical data is used to deliver content, diagnose errors, and maintain site security. It does not mean this site can read files on your device or settings in the app.
This site uses analytics to understand page views, traffic sources, device categories, and navigation, helping improve the content structure and identify unusual activity. If you click an App Store button on a product information page, the site records a store-link click to measure link use, not to confirm a purchase.
Analytics events do not need to include subscription URLs or server passwords. Do not put this information in a page URL, query string, or referrer link on this site; technical requests and analytics processing may encounter those address details. Page views and clicks cannot be used to infer an individual user's app activity.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Analytics features may use cookies or browser storage to identify visits and reduce duplicate counts. The specific storage used depends on the active analytics configuration and browser restrictions. Language switching and table-of-contents navigation use page paths and anchors; no personal account is required.
You can view, limit, or clear this site's cookies and local storage in your browser's site data settings, or use its tracking protection features. Restricting storage may affect analytics continuity or saved preferences, but static page content remains available. Clearing data on your device does not delete server records already created.
4. App Store Links
Shadowrocket is available only through the App Store. The App Store product page linked from this site is operated by Apple. Once you open it, Apple's privacy policy and terms of service apply to data collection, account sign-in, payments, and purchased items. Purchases are not made on this site.
This site does not receive your Apple Account password, payment card details, or complete purchase credentials. A store-link click does not indicate a successful payment, and this site cannot look up orders. Refer to the App Store page for prices, system requirements, and purchase availability.
5. Data Handling and Usage Guidance
Technical logs and analytics data should be used only to operate and secure the site and analyze content, with access limited to those purposes. Information unrelated to these purposes should not be retained. This site does not build visitor profiles in an account database, and its analytics do not monitor app traffic.
Do not save subscription credentials on a shared device. Before sharing a support question, conceal tokens in links, QR codes, and server authentication details. If you have questions about browsing the site or importing a configuration, see the troubleshooting section in the guide. This is a read-only page and does not collect personal information.
6. Policy Updates
If site features, analytics practices, or applicable requirements change, this site will revise the relevant terms on this page and update the “Last updated” month at the top. If a new feature requires you to submit information, its purpose, data collected, and available choices will be explained before the feature is enabled.
This page describes the policy currently in effect. Review the relevant terms before using new interactive features. Changes to the policy text alone do not mean that app features, App Store purchase terms, or Apple's policies have also changed.
