Privacy Policy | Clash for Mac — Client Downloads and Setup Guides

1. Scope and Information You Provide

This static website provides client download links and configuration guides. It has no account registration, email newsletter, or user profile pages. You can browse without entering your name, email address, or subscription URL. Input fields and configuration snippets in guides are examples only and do not collect personal configurations.

Pages on this site do not access proxy settings, connection logs, or local files in your client. Subscription URLs may contain access credentials. Import them only into your chosen client; do not include full URLs in site addresses, feedback, or public screenshots.

2. Access Logs and Analytics

We use traffic analytics to understand page views, search sources, and download platform choices, helping us improve guides, fix broken links, and optimize the mobile experience. Analytics may include pages visited, referring pages, visit times, browser and operating system details, screen dimensions, and click events. Switching download platforms may also be recorded as an interaction.

The services hosting pages, analytics endpoints, and download requests process IP addresses when handling connections. They may generate technical logs containing request paths, response statuses, and timestamps for troubleshooting and security. This information is not used to create site user accounts. Retention periods for technical logs and analytics records depend on deployment settings; this policy does not specify a fixed number of days.

3. Cookies and Local Storage

Pages may use cookies or browser local storage to save essential preferences. Whether analytics set identifiers, and for how long, depends on the analytics configuration in use. Browser caches may also store fonts, stylesheets, and scripts to avoid repeat requests. Platform fragments in the address bar restore tab selections; they are not account identifiers.

You can view, delete, or restrict cookies and site data in your browser’s site settings, or use private browsing and tracking protection. Restricting storage may mean you need to choose preferences again and may reduce some analytics. Deleting browser data does not delete logs or analytics records already held by servers.

4. Downloads and Third-Party Links

Client download links may lead to downloads hosted on this site, project websites, or app stores. Downloads hosted on this site may be routed through deployment services that forward file requests. Services involved in transferring files can process the network information needed to complete a download. Once you visit an external page, its operator may independently log visits, use cookies, or require sign-in; its privacy policy governs what happens next.

Before downloading, check the destination domain, client name, and system chip option. Review system permission prompts during installation. Site analytics are not the same as client telemetry, and this policy does not cover how subscription services handle connection data.

5. Information Security and Feedback

Access this site over HTTPS, and avoid sharing links that contain passwords or subscription credentials. Before sharing screenshots, hide subscription URLs, account details, connection destinations, and other sensitive information. When troubleshooting, share configuration snippets with sensitive details removed.

For operational issues, start with the troubleshooting steps in the Help Center or User Guide. This site has no account management portal and cannot look up a visitor’s complete browsing history by account. For data requests involving external clients or subscription services, use the support channels published by those services.

6. Policy Updates

If analytics settings, download flows, or data practices change, this policy will be updated on this page and the “Last updated” month at the top will be revised. Because this site does not collect newsletter email addresses, policy changes are announced on this page rather than by individual email.

Revised terms describe how data is handled from the update date onward. If a new data use is introduced or a feature requires an additional choice, details will be provided at the relevant point, along with any choices required by applicable rules. Before using a third-party service, review the policy it has published at that time.
