Privacy Policy

This policy covers page visits and use of links on clash-init.com. The site provides download links for Clash clients and configuration guides; you don't need an account to browse. The sections below explain what information may be involved when you visit and what falls outside this site's scope after you leave.

1. What We Collect

This is a static site with no sign-up, login, comments, or email subscription features. Visitors aren't asked to provide their name, email address, or proxy subscription details. To serve pages and troubleshoot access issues, the server still needs to process basic connection information, such as your IP address, request time, requested page, and information sent by your browser.

We use website analytics to understand overall page usage. This may include visit times, pages viewed, referring pages, device and browser types, and technical information needed to distinguish repeat visits. We use these insights to identify installation guides that need more detail and site links that are hard to find. You can browse without providing personal information. Don't include sensitive information, such as subscription credentials, in site addresses or shareable links.

2. Cookies and Local Storage

This site doesn't use cookies to maintain account sessions because it has no account features. Analytics may use cookies or browser local storage to recognize repeat visits and aggregate page views. Whether data is stored and for how long depends on the analytics settings in use and your browser. This storage isn't used to save client configuration files, subscription links, or proxy node details.

You can use your browser settings to restrict cookies, clear this site's local storage, or enable built-in tracking protection. These settings may make analytics less accurate, but won't prevent you from reading static guides or using site navigation. Storage and tracking controls vary by browser; refer to your browser's help documentation for details.

3. Downloads and External Links

The download page lists client download options for different platforms. When you click a download button, an app store link, or a client project's website, your browser may send a request to a file distribution service or external site. Those services handle connection information under their own policies. This privacy policy covers only this site and does not replace the privacy notices of external websites.

Before opening an external page, check the domain in your browser's address bar, the page title, and the selected platform. If you're sent to an unexpected address, return to the download page and choose the link again. Network requests made by an installed client, use of subscription services, and their data practices depend on the client and services you choose; they aren't covered by this site's page analytics.

4. Data Retention and Security

Technical records used to serve pages, handle download requests, and compile usage statistics may be retained by the site's server and related infrastructure according to their respective operating settings. This site doesn't collect client configuration data through page forms. Before submitting configuration or subscription details elsewhere, check how that website handles the information.

Avoid exposing subscription URLs or account details in public discussions, browser screenshots, or shared links. When reading YAML examples on this site, distinguish them from the configuration you actually use. Before editing a local configuration, consider keeping a copy of the original file on your device so you can restore it if the changes don't work as expected.

5. Policy Updates and Questions

If site features, analytics practices, or related information change, this page will be updated and the “Last updated” month at the top will be revised. We recommend reviewing this policy when using a new download link or reading important configuration guidance. The version shown on this page is the current one.

This site doesn't provide a contact email or a form for submitting personal information. For help importing subscriptions, choosing proxy modes, or checking connections, start with the Quick Start Guide. For downloads and platform options, refer to the Downloads page. These pages provide instructions and don't require you to submit personal information.
