Privacy Policy

1 Policy Overview

This privacy policy applies to your use of this website (clashenglish.com) and the downloading of Clash-related clients. Please read it carefully. By continuing to use the site, you agree to these terms.

Clash is a completely open-source and free proxy tool. This website does not require registration, personal info, or payments. Our commitment aligns with the open and transparent spirit of Clash.

This policy only applies to this website. It does not apply to the privacy practices of third-party service providers (airports, VPS, etc.) you connect to using Clash clients.

2 Information We Collect

This website does not require you to provide any personal identification information (PII) such as names, IDs, or phone numbers.

When you visit, we may automatically collect the following non-personally identifiable information via server logs to maintain site operations and basic statistics:

• Access Logs: Including browser type, OS version, timestamps, referrers, requested URLs, and HTTP status codes.
• Device Info: Screen resolution, device type (desktop/mobile) for responsive optimization.
• IP Address: Used for coarse geographic statistics (city/region level). IP addresses in logs are cleared periodically and not used for individual tracking.
• Download Statistics: Aggregated counts of client package downloads.

3 How We Use Information

We use the limited non-personal information collected for the following purposes:

• Maintenance: To diagnose technical issues and optimize performance.
• Abuse Prevention: To identify abnormal requests and protect against bots or malicious crawlers.
• Content Improvement: To understand popular tutorials and download content for continuous site optimization.
• Statistics: To count total downloads shown on the home page dashboard.

We never use your visit info for targeted ads, personal profiling, data sales, or any other commercial purposes.

4 Cookies & Tracking Technologies

This website uses minimal cookies to store your language preference so it persists across visits without re-selection.

This website does not use the following tracking technologies:

• Behavioral or cross-site tracking cookies
• Third-party ad pixels (Facebook Pixel, Google Ads, etc.)
• Browser Fingerprinting
• Session recording or heatmaps

You can clear or disable cookies in your browser. This won't affect core functionality (downloads, tutorials), but language preferences won't be remembered.

5 Third-Party Links & Services

This website may contain links to the following third-party platforms:

• GitHub (github.com): For Clash and Mihomo source code repositories.
• Fonts: We use Google Fonts (Inter); Google may collect limited technical data through these requests.
• Tailwind CSS CDN: Our styles are loaded via public CDNs which may log visits.

Clicking these links takes you to third-party sites governed by their own privacy policies. We are not responsible for their content or data practices.

Note: Airport providers, VPS hosts, or other proxy services used with Clash are independent third parties and are not covered by this policy.

6 Data Security

We use the following measures to protect data:

• HTTPS Encryption: All pages are encrypted via TLS/SSL to prevent eavesdropping.
• Data Minimization: Since we don't collect PII, the risk of data leaks is inherently minimized.
• Log Rotation: Server logs are deleted regularly and not kept long-term.
• Open Source Audits: Clash and Mihomo code is public and continuously audited by the global community.

While we strive for security, internet transmission is never 100% risk-free. Report any security issues via GitHub Issues.

7 Children's Privacy Protection

Clash is a tool for technical users. Our website targets adults and does not knowingly collect information from children under 16.

If you are a guardian and believe your child has provided us with info, please contact us via GitHub Issues.

8 Your Rights

As we don't collect PII, most standard data rights requests do not apply. However, we commit to the following:

• Right to be Informed: You have the right to read this policy to understand our data practices.
• Cookie Control: You can clear language preferences at any time.
• Opt-out: We respect "Do Not Track" (DNT) browser settings.
• Feedback: You can provide feedback via GitHub community channels.

EU (GDPR) and California (CCPA) residents can contact project maintainers via GitHub Issues for specific rights inquiries.

9 Open Source & Transparency Commitment

Clash (Mihomo) is fully open-source under the GPL-3.0 License. This means:

• Anyone can audit the source code on GitHub to verify privacy compliance.
• Clash does not have built-in data reporting and won't send data without your knowledge.
• The global community ensures transparency and trust through continuous audits and contributions.
