Site Policy

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This policy applies to the Clash Docs Hub website and its Simplified Chinese pages. It explains the scope of data processing that may occur when visitors browse documentation, use on-site navigation, or visit client download pages. By continuing to use this site, you acknowledge the matters described in this policy.

1. Scope of Data Collection

This site provides Clash client information, subscription import tutorials, rule-based routing guides, and related technical articles through static pages. Browsing does not require an account, and the site does not offer registration, comments, guest submissions, or email subscriptions. As a result, the site does not ask visitors to submit their names, email addresses, phone numbers, account passwords, or payment details through these features.

When responding to web requests, the server may record necessary access logs as part of normal operation, including the access time, requested page, response status, referring page, browser and device type, operating system category, and the IP address processed by network services. These records are used primarily to deliver pages reliably, analyze unusual requests, investigate broken links, and maintain site security. The retention period depends on the actual deployment environment and the operating policies of the underlying services. After that period, logs are deleted, aggregated, or overwritten.

2. Access Analytics and Its Use

This site may use analytics tools to understand overall page usage, such as the number of visits to a tutorial, commonly used device categories, referral sources, and time spent on a page. The results help determine which client guides need more detail, which steps are easy to misunderstand, and whether the mobile layout needs adjustment.

Access analytics are used for site operations and improvement. They are not used to build user profiles tied to verified identities or to process account transactions. Analytics tools may generate random visitor identifiers to distinguish continuous visits from repeat visits; these identifiers do not replace information that a visitor voluntarily submits to a third-party service. If a browser blocks analytics requests or restricts storage, the documentation, tutorial links, and page navigation will generally remain available, but analytics results may be incomplete.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

The core documentation features on this site do not depend on a login state. Cookies or browser local storage may be used to retain limited interface state, such as an analytics session, selected display options, or essential interaction state needed to restore a page. Such data is limited to the corresponding functionality. It should not be treated as cloud backup and is not suitable for storing subscription URLs, proxy configurations, access credentials, or other sensitive content.

Visitors can use browser settings to view, restrict, or clear cookies and site data. After clearing them, some page preferences may return to their default values, and analytics tools may identify subsequent visits as a new session. Settings locations vary by browser; follow the privacy and site-data guidance provided by the browser you use.

4. Third-Party Links and Download Pages

This site may link to official client websites, app stores, download services, and other technical resources. After clicking a link, visitors enter a website or service independently managed by the relevant third party. Its data collection practices, logging policies, cookie settings, and content updates are not governed by this policy. Before visiting a third-party page, review that service's published privacy notice and terms of use.

Before downloading, check the domain in the browser address bar, the platform identified by the button, the filename, and the file extension. Confirm that the installer matches your device's operating system and processor architecture. For links that open an app store, rely on the app name, developer information, and system requirements shown on the store listing. If a third-party page redirects unexpectedly, asks for account information unrelated to the download, or displays a file type that does not match the page description, pause and return to this site to choose the entry point again.

5. Data Security and Visitor Choices

This site reduces the amount of information it handles by limiting page functionality, minimizing form input, and avoiding unnecessary data fields. Visitors should also manage their subscription links, configuration files, proxy credentials, and device permissions carefully. Do not paste configurations containing sensitive information into public webpages, comment sections, or online tools from unknown sources.

To reduce local records, use your browser's options to clear site data, limit cross-site tracking, or block non-essential storage. Keep in mind that internet access providers, browser vendors, operating systems, and third-party download platforms may each follow their own data processing rules. For those matters, consult the policy page of the relevant service.

6. Policy Updates and Questions

This policy may be revised when page features, analytics methods, underlying services, or applicable rules change. Revised content will be published on this page, and the “Last updated” month at the top will be changed. General revisions apply from the date of publication. If a change could materially affect how visitors understand the scope of data processing, the relevant section will include additional details.

If you have questions about this site's procedures, download links, or documentation, first review the relevant steps in User Guide. When reporting an issue, describe the page visited, device platform, browser type, and reproducible behavior. Do not submit subscription links, complete configuration files, account information, or other sensitive data.
