Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This policy explains the information-handling activities that may occur when you visit Clash Meta Official Site, how browser-side storage works, and where responsibility lies after you follow links to external services. By continuing to use this site, you confirm that you have read and understood the information below.

1. Scope

This policy applies to the client guides, download links, configuration tutorials, terminology explanations, and related articles provided by the Simplified Chinese site at socksclash.com. The site consists primarily of static pages and does not offer account registration, comments, online payments, or email subscriptions. Visitors are not asked to submit their name, email address, phone number, identity documents, or proxy subscription content.

Information entered by users in Clash clients, operating systems, or third-party services is not automatically sent to this site simply because they read its documentation. If a page redirects to another website, app store, or file distribution service, subsequent processing is governed by that service’s rules and falls outside the direct control of this policy.

2. Visit Data and Analytics

To determine whether pages are working properly, understand how the documentation is used, and investigate abnormal requests, the hosting environment may record necessary technical information, including visit time, requested page, referring page, browser type, device category, operating system, network address, and server response status. These records support security maintenance, troubleshooting, traffic trend analysis, and content structure improvements.

This site may use basic analytics tools to aggregate page views, entry sources, device types, and on-site interaction events, such as a user actively switching download platform tabs. The results help identify which platform guides need improvement. They are not used to build user profiles containing real names or to read Clash configurations, node information, subscription URLs, or network communications.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

Most of this site can be read without cookies. To support necessary analytics, remember interface choices, or save language and platform preferences, your browser may write a small amount of cookie or local storage data. This data usually contains only a random identifier, a selection state, or time information, and does not contain the body of a client configuration.

You can view, delete, or restrict cookies and site data in your browser settings. After clearing them, the site remains accessible, but saved language, platform tabs, or analytics recognition may return to their default states. Blocking this storage does not change the core content of the download pages or documentation.

This site provides links to app stores, client project websites, and download distribution pages. These links help users reach the relevant resources, but the destination pages may use their own analytics, cookies, accounts, or regional rules. Before opening an external link, review the destination address, service operator, and privacy information, then decide whether to continue based on your circumstances.

When downloading a client, start from the download page on this site and verify the software name, supported platform, system architecture, and file extension. If your browser or operating system displays source, permission, or installation prompts, first confirm that they match the platform you selected. This site cannot control the ongoing availability, content changes, or data practices of third-party pages.

5. Retention and Information Security

Server logs and aggregated analytics are retained only for as long as needed for maintenance, incident analysis, and reasonable trend comparisons, then deleted, overwritten, or aggregated by the hosting environment according to its established schedule. The specific period may change due to security incidents, service stability needs, or infrastructure rules, but the absence of an account system means this site does not create long-term account records.

This site uses access controls and maintenance measures appropriate for a static website to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to, alteration of, or disclosure of logs. Internet transmission and external infrastructure still carry inherent risks, so no network processing can be guaranteed to be completely free from interruption or irregularities.

6. Policy Updates and Your Choices

This policy may be revised when analytics practices, site features, or relationships with external services change. Updated text will be published on this page, and the last-updated month at the top of the page will be changed. Significant changes to the scope of information handling will be clearly described in the main text rather than introduced through silent expansion of the terms.

You may stop visiting this site at any time, clear browser site data, or restrict related technologies through your browser privacy settings. For questions about client configuration, subscription imports, or system proxy settings, visit Getting Started for instructions and troubleshooting guidance; this section does not require you to submit personal information.
