This policy applies to clashdl.com and its Simplified Chinese pages. It explains data processing that may occur when you visit the site. The site mainly provides Clash client download links, installation and configuration documentation, and troubleshooting resources. Pages are published statically; there are no user accounts, and visitors are not required to register or provide an email address.
1. Scope of Data Collection
You do not need to submit your name, email address, phone number, physical address, or account details to browse this site. The site has no login, comments, online payment, or personal-profile upload features, and its page forms do not create user profiles.
To keep the site running, identify unusual requests, and understand how content is used, hosting and analytics services may process necessary technical information, including request times, pages visited, referring pages, browser and device types, operating system, network address, and basic error records. This information comes from browser network requests and is not used to determine a visitor’s real-world identity.
Server logs may be retained for a limited period for maintenance and security analysis. Once they are no longer needed to troubleshoot problems, prevent abuse, or produce aggregate statistics, the relevant records are deleted, rotated, or aggregated according to the maintenance practices of the operating environment.
2. How Analytics Are Used
This site uses analytics to understand page-visit trends, such as which platform download guides are viewed most often, which tutorial links are hard to find, whether pages fail to load, and whether the mobile layout needs adjustment. Results are used mainly to improve navigation, correct documentation, plan content updates, and investigate unusual traffic.
Analytics may include technical data such as page addresses, referral information, device categories, browser characteristics, and approximate access regions. The site does not use analytics to build cross-site behavioral profiles, send marketing messages based on visit records, or require visitors to link analytics records to a name or account.
Browser privacy controls, content blockers, or tracking-protection settings may limit analytics requests. Disabling these features will not affect access to the main content, but some visit trends may not be included in aggregate results. If your browser sends a Do Not Track signal, its effect depends on how the browser and network environment implement that signal.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
This site may use cookies or browser local storage to retain necessary interface state, such as language selection, expanded navigation, or short-term identifiers needed for analytics. These data support continuity during page use and reduce repeated setup; they are not used for account authentication, payments, or personal-data management.
You can view, restrict, or delete cookies and site data in your browser settings, or open pages in private-browsing mode. After local data is deleted, language, tabs, or other interface preferences may return to their defaults, but download pages, tutorials, and manuals remain accessible.
Browser extensions, system network policies, or enterprise device-management rules may also affect the availability of cookies and local storage. This site will not require visitors to lower their browser security settings to read its documentation.
4. Download Links and Third-Party Links
This site includes links to app stores, official software websites, download distribution services, and other external resources. After you follow one of these links, you enter a page or network environment operated by the relevant service provider. Its data-processing rules, log-retention practices, and cookie settings are determined by that provider and are outside the scope of this policy.
Download requests may pass through a file-distribution service, which receives the request information needed to complete the network transfer. Before installing a client, confirm the page address, software name, target platform, system architecture, and publisher. Avoid submitting account details or granting system permissions unrelated to installation on pages from unknown sources.
The content, availability, and privacy terms of third-party pages may change as their operators update their services. This site will correct known broken links during maintenance, but cannot guarantee that external pages will retain the same structure. Before leaving this site, use your browser’s status bar or link preview to confirm the destination address.
5. Policy Updates and Feedback
This policy may be revised when analytics methods, storage mechanisms, site features, or applicable requirements change. Updates will be published directly on this page, and the Last updated date at the top will be changed. If a revision materially affects the scope of data processing, the page will clearly describe the main changes.
Before using a download link or an external service, you should review this policy periodically. If you have questions about installation, permission settings, subscription imports, or connection issues, start with the Getting Started guide and the user manual; these pages provide step-by-step checks without requiring personal contact details.
