Site Policies

Privacy Policy

Last updated: August 2026

This policy explains what information may be processed when you visit clashrouter.com and its Simplified Chinese pages, why it is processed, and what controls are available. This static site provides information about Clash Meta (mihomo), download links, and configuration documentation. It has no account registration and does not require an email address or personal details.

1. Scope of Data Collection

When you browse the site, servers and basic network infrastructure receive request information as is customary for internet services. This may include your IP address, request time, URL path, response status, browser type, operating system, referring page, and a broad device category. This information is mainly used to deliver pages, maintain service stability, identify abnormal requests, and troubleshoot access problems.

This site does not offer user accounts, comments, forums, paid subscriptions, or email newsletters. It therefore does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment details, or personal profiles through those features. Visitors should not enter sensitive information in browser addresses, query parameters, or other publicly transmitted locations. Downloading a client or reading a guide does not require creating a personal profile.

Hosting providers may retain server logs for a limited period. Logs are used for operations, maintenance, and security analysis; they are not used to build an interest profile for an individual visitor and are not displayed publicly. Where reasonably necessary for network security, incident investigation, or legal compliance, relevant records may be retained for longer.

2. Analytics and Its Uses

This site uses analytics tools to understand overall page usage. Metrics may include visits, time spent and navigation, referring pages, device and browser categories, screen size, and broad country or regional information. Results help determine which platform download guides need more detail, which configuration tutorials are difficult to follow, and whether mobile pages have compatibility issues.

Analytics focuses on aggregate trends rather than identifying specific individuals. Depending on deployment settings and the browser environment, the analytics system may truncate, hash, or otherwise reduce the identifiability of network addresses. This site does not ask visitors to provide real-world identity information for analytics and does not link tutorial reading activity to account details, because the site has no account system.

If your browser enables privacy protection, content blocking, or storage restrictions, some analytics requests may not complete. This generally does not affect reading articles, navigating pages, or using basic download links. Server logs created to investigate service outages are a separate processing activity from analytics used to improve content.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

The static pages do not need cookies to maintain a login session. To preserve language selection, navigation interactions, analytics, or other necessary page preferences, your browser may store a small amount of cookie or local storage data. This data usually consists of random identifiers, preference values, timestamps, or technical state information and does not include account details actively submitted by visitors.

You can use your browser settings to view, restrict, or clear cookies and site data. Private browsing can also reduce how long data remains on your device. After clearing it, the language choice or some page preferences may return to their defaults, but public documentation will remain accessible. The setting names vary by browser and are usually found under Privacy, Security, or Site Data.

Third-party pages may use their own cookies, local storage, or similar technologies. After following a link from this site to an app store, project page, or other external website, refer to that third party’s published privacy policy.

Some pages link to client project pages, app stores, official software websites, or download services. After you follow an external link, the destination may independently process access logs, device information, store account status, or transaction records. This site cannot control third-party content, retention periods, or privacy settings; the relevant third party’s own policy governs its processing.

Before starting a download, check the client name, operating system, processor architecture, and file extension shown on the page, and confirm that the redirect path matches an entry listed on this site’s download page. If you see a browser security warning, an unexpected redirect from the source page, a noticeably changed filename, or a mismatched platform, stop and return to the download page to choose again. App store installations are also subject to the applicable store account and device policies.

This site will not ask visitors to upload client installers, subscription content, or local configuration files. Configuration files may contain server addresses, authentication details, and custom rules. When following tutorials, use sanitized examples and avoid pasting real configurations into public pages or untrusted services.

5. Policy Updates and Your Choices

This policy may be revised when analytics tools, page features, hosting arrangements, or applicable requirements change. Updated content will be published on this page, and the last-updated date at the top will be revised accordingly. Important changes to the scope of data processing will be presented in clear terms rather than replaced with vague wording.

Continuing to visit the updated page indicates that you understand the current processing rules. If you do not agree with browser storage or analytics-related processing, you can adjust your browser privacy settings, clear existing site data, or stop visiting. For questions about downloads, configuration steps, or browser actions, see the quick-start tutorial; for questions about configuration fields and runtime behavior, refer to the configuration reference.

This policy applies only to pages and services provided directly by clashrouter.com. External websites reached through links on this site, data generated by the clients themselves, and network functions provided by the operating system are outside this site’s control.
