Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This policy applies to the Simplified Chinese site at clashorigin.com, including page browsing, documentation, client selection information, and download links. By visiting or continuing to use the site, you acknowledge the scope of data processing described here. When the site links to another website, app store, or software service, that provider’s own data practices apply.

I. Scope and Basic Principles

This site provides Clash client information through static pages. It does not offer user accounts, comments, online submissions, or email subscriptions. Browsing pages, viewing YAML examples, and opening the download center do not require a name, email address, phone number, physical address, or payment details.

Normal web access still generates essential technical information. For example, servers must process the requesting IP address, request time, page URL, browser identifier, and response status to deliver pages, detect unusual requests, and keep the site running. These records are technical data from the website access process; they are not used to build user profiles, and users are not asked to provide identity information.

II. Analytics and Its Uses

This site uses analytics tools to understand overall page usage. The data may include pages viewed, referring pages, device type, operating system, browser category, approximate region, visit duration, and page events such as switching download-platform tabs. Results help identify installation instructions that need improvement, the most-used platform links, broken pages, and unusual traffic.

Analytics data is primarily used in aggregate and is not sold or used to deliver content based on personal identity. Browser requests may include connection information such as an IP address; related data is processed only as needed to operate the site, analyze visits, and maintain security. You can limit analytics requests through browser privacy settings, content-blocking features, or disabled scripts, but some interactive features may stop working.

III. Cookies and Local Storage

Core page browsing and documentation reading do not require cookies. Analytics tools may use first-party cookies to distinguish page activity during a visit and reduce duplicate counts within the same browsing session. These cookies are provided by this site’s domain and are not used for login, shopping, or advertising.

Page scripts may also use browser local storage to save limited interface state, such as dismissed notices, the current language, or selected page options. This information remains on your device and does not include account details submitted by you. You can view, restrict, or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings; after deletion, saved interface choices may return to their defaults.

IV. Third-Party Links and Download Destinations

Some buttons on this site may link to app stores, official client project websites, or other external pages. After you follow an external link, the destination may record the referring page, device information, account status, or store transaction details under its own policies. This site cannot control third-party page content, data-retention periods, or permission requests. Read the destination’s privacy information before proceeding.

Before downloading an installer, check that the link destination, client name, operating system, processor architecture, and file extension match your device. For mobile apps, verify the app name and publisher on the store page. Desktop and Linux users should distinguish between installers, archives, and packages for different architectures. If the destination does not match the download instructions, stop and return to the download center to select the platform again.

After installation, the client handles subscription URLs, proxy configurations, DNS settings, and network connections according to its own features. These data are determined by the selected client and your configuration and are not collected directly by this static site. Before importing a subscription, review the provider’s privacy rules and avoid displaying configuration URLs containing access credentials in public.

V. Policy Updates and Questions

If the site’s features, analytics practices, or page structure change substantially, this policy will be updated and the date at the top of the page will change. Routine wording edits, link fixes, or layout changes will not trigger separate notices. Check this page periodically for the rules currently in effect.

This site does not collect feedback through this policy page and does not ask users to leave an email address. If you have questions about downloads, configuration imports, or browser permissions, first review the user documentation and follow its installation and troubleshooting steps to determine whether the issue concerns the website, client settings, or an external service.
