Privacy Policy

This is the official Shadowrocket website and manual. This policy explains how data is handled when you browse this site, use its links, or download installation files. It applies to the website at shdwsetup.com and does not replace the app’s privacy information or Apple’s terms.

1. Scope and Information You Choose to Provide

This site uses static pages for download guidance, tutorials and configuration instructions. It has no user registration, sign-in or email collection forms. You can read the manual without submitting your name, phone number, payment details or server credentials. We do not provide, sell or recommend proxy servers or subscriptions; tutorials assume you already have your own subscription or server details.

Get subscription links from your service provider and use them in the app. Do not include real links, passwords, QR codes or configuration data containing credentials in this site’s URL parameters. A one-time app purchase is not a proxy service plan; obtaining the app and subscribing to a service are separate matters.

2. Access Logs and Analytics

Website operations and analytics may involve technical information such as request time, page path, referring page, browser and device category, network request status and IP address. This information helps us understand how the manual is used, troubleshoot page errors, keep the service running and detect unusual requests. It is not used to collect server lists stored in the app or the contents of proxy traffic.

We count page views, clicks on app and download links, and installation-file downloads to assess platform needs and check that download links work. Clicks and download requests do not represent unique users or confirm successful installation. Analytics and website service logs serve different purposes; summary reports should not be treated as a complete record of all raw data.

Records are handled only for the purposes and to the extent described above. This policy does not promise a fixed retention period. Browser settings, network restrictions or script blockers may make analytics incomplete, but do not affect access to the static page content.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

When enabled, analytics tools may use cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish sessions and reduce duplicate counts. Page interactions may also use browser storage to retain essential display preferences. Whether any data is stored depends on the features enabled and your browser permissions.

You can view, restrict or clear this site’s cookies and local storage in your browser. Clearing them may reset some preferences and cause analytics to count visits again. Language pages and section links remain directly accessible. This site does not require you to save subscription credentials in its storage.

The iPhone and iPad version costs $2.99 as a one-time App Store purchase. The Mac, Windows, Android and Linux versions are free. The Shadowrocket App Store product page is operated by Apple. Accounts, payments, purchase history and related data are subject to Apple’s terms. Check the App Store page for system requirements.

Downloads of the Mac versions for Apple silicon and Intel, and the Windows, Android and Linux installation files are provided free on this site. File requests use the site’s /dl/ path and generate the technical records needed to serve the files; they may also be included in download statistics. For platform options, download links and first-launch security steps, see the download guide.

5. Policy Updates and Help

If site features, analytics methods or data handling practices change, we will update the relevant terms on this page and revise the month shown at the top. Significant changes to data handling should be explained at the relevant feature entry point. Continuing to browse does not replace any consent that must be obtained separately by law.

If you have trouble using a page or importing a configuration, see the setup tutorials and the proxy management manual. When troubleshooting, record only the error messages needed and redact credentials and personal information. This page does not include a form for collecting sensitive information.
