[Scope] Scope
This site is the official Shadowrocket website and guide, with information on verifying the genuine app, using its features, and configuring it. This policy applies to this website only; it does not replace the privacy information provided in Shadowrocket or on the App Store. For data handling in the app, refer to its settings and the disclosures on its App Store page.
This site does not provide node services or provide, sell, or recommend subscriptions. The instructions assume you already have your own subscription or server details. A one-time purchase of the app is not a service plan; reading this guide or buying the app does not provide access to a network service through this site.
[Data] Data Collected and Data Boundaries
This is a static website with no registration, sign-in, or email collection forms. You do not need to submit your name, phone number, payment details, or account password. You can read the guides without uploading a subscription URL, server password, configuration file, or connection history. This website does not access information stored in the app.
Website requests send necessary technical information to the infrastructure that hosts the site, such as your IP address, request path, request time, browser type, and response status. This information may be recorded in operational logs to deliver pages, investigate access issues, and maintain the service. Do not include real credentials in query parameters in this site's URLs, as they may be recorded with request data.
[Analytics] Analytics and How They’re Used
This site uses analytics to understand page views, traffic sources, device categories, and commonly used entry points. These insights help improve the guide’s structure and identify broken links. Analytics may also record when you choose to click an App Store button, helping us assess whether information about getting the genuine app is easy to find—not whether you completed a purchase.
This site does not collect payment details, proof of purchase, or Apple Account information through its App Store buttons. Analytics and operational logs are used only to maintain content, analyze site visits, and troubleshoot issues. This policy does not promise a specific retention period or anonymization method that has not been verified in the actual deployment.
[Storage] Cookies and Local Storage
You do not need an account to navigate pages, jump between sections, or expand FAQs. Whether analytics use cookies, which identifiers they use, and how long they last depend on the site’s actual configuration. A static website may still create analytics-related data in your browser.
Browser local storage is different from cookies. You can inspect, clear, or restrict both in your browser’s site data settings. Restricting storage or scripts may affect analytics and some interactive features, but the main guide remains available as static content. Clearing this site’s browser data does not delete configurations in the Shadowrocket app or remove App Store purchase records.
[External] App Store Links
Shadowrocket is available exclusively on Apple platforms. The only place to get it is the App Store product page (opens in a new tab). Apple operates that page. Once you leave this site, Apple’s privacy policy and applicable terms govern page visits, account verification, payments, and purchase records.
When you open an external page, your browser sends the information needed to establish a connection and may send referrer information according to your browser settings. This site cannot control how external pages store or process data. Check the App Store page for current pricing, compatibility, and system requirements.
[Updates] Policy Updates and Questions
If data practices, analytics settings, or website features change materially, this page will be updated and the month shown at the top will change. This site does not collect visitor email addresses, so updates are published here rather than sent individually. On your next visit, check the updated month to see whether the policy has changed.
To understand how website information differs from using the app, start with the step-by-step tutorial and troubleshooting guide. For purchase and restore questions, see the restore purchases guide. When checking an issue, keep the exact error message and avoid sharing real subscription URLs, passwords, payment details, or personal account information.
