Privacy Policy

1. Scope and information you submit

Shadowrocket Starter Guide is the official website and manual for Shadowrocket. This static site provides guidance on verifying the genuine app, purchasing and installing it, configuring it, and troubleshooting. There is no registration, and visitors are not asked to submit their name, email address, or phone number. The site does not accept subscription links, server passwords, or payment details through forms.

This site does not provide node services and does not provide, sell, or recommend nodes or subscriptions. Instructions assume that you already have your own subscription or server details. A one-time purchase of the app is not a service plan. Reading this manual does not automatically establish a connection in the app or upload Config files or connection records from your device to this site.

2. Visit data and analytics

When you request a webpage, your browser sends the hosting server information needed to deliver it, such as your IP address, requested path, time of access, browser and device type, and any referrer information your browser allows. This data may be used to deliver pages, diagnose errors, maintain the site, and identify unusual traffic.

We use visit analytics to understand page views, reading paths, and clicks on entry points so we can improve the order of instructions, find broken links, and make the site easier to read on mobile devices. When you actively click the App Store button on the app page, we record an entry-point click. This event measures outbound clicks; it does not confirm a purchase or include Apple Account or payment information.

Analytics are used to maintain the site and improve its content, not to read subscription details stored in the app. The retention of visit and analytics records depends on the services and configurations in use. This policy does not promise a specific retention period that has not been verified.

3. Cookies and local storage

Your browser may cache pages, fonts, and images to avoid repeat requests. This cache is separate from cookies and local storage, and can be managed in your browser's site data settings. Language switching uses links to the relevant page, and section navigation uses anchors in the page address.

Whether analytics use cookies or local storage depends on the analytics configuration in effect and your browser settings. If used, these identifiers help distinguish visits and avoid duplicate counts; they do not require you to provide your name or email address. The absence of a registration form does not mean that your browser contains no analytics identifiers.

You can restrict cookies, clear this site's data, or use private browsing in your browser settings. Restricting storage may affect analytics continuity or the retention of preferences, but the manual's core content remains available. Clearing local data does not delete visit records already received by the server.

4. App Store and app data

The only way to get Shadowrocket is through the App Store product page. Apple operates that page. After you leave this site, account sign-in, purchases, payments, orders, and refunds are governed by Apple's applicable terms and privacy policy. This site does not receive payment credentials and cannot look up orders for you.

For data processed by the app on your device, system permissions, and connection behavior, refer to the information in the app and the privacy details shown on its App Store page. This policy covers website visits only; website analytics do not define the scope of app data. Check the App Store page for system requirements, compatibility, and purchase availability.

5. Policy updates and reading guide

We will revise this policy if our data handling, analytics purposes, or site features change materially, and update the month shown at the top of the page. The revised text will be published here; we will not send email notifications. Visit this page again to review the latest information.

To understand how the website and app differ during setup, start with the setup guide. For permission or connection issues, see the troubleshooting manual. Before sharing a question, remove sensitive information such as subscription URLs, account details, and server credentials. Do not include them in public page URLs or screenshots.
