Privacy Policy
Last updated: March 2026
This policy applies to browsing pages on clash12.com, reading guides, and visiting download links. This is a static content site with no account registration or email collection forms. The sections below distinguish how this site, its basic network services, and third-party clients handle data.
1. Visit Data and How It Is Handled
When your browser requests a page or file, the network services hosting this site receive information needed to fulfill the request, including your IP address, request time, resource path, response status, and device and referral information sent by your browser. These records help deliver content, diagnose access failures, detect unusual requests, and maintain service security.
This site does not ask for your name, phone number, email address, or payment information, and does not need to access your local Clash configuration, subscriptions, or connection history. Configuration snippets in guides are for reference only; they are not upload forms. Do not include sensitive information such as subscription URLs or node passwords in this site's URLs or request parameters.
2. How Visit Analytics Are Used
This site uses analytics to understand page visits, referral sources, device categories, and actions such as download platform selections. The results help us assess how easy guides are to find, identify broken links, and improve page structure. Platform selections and similar interaction records reflect activity on the website; they do not indicate that a client has been installed or a proxy connection established.
Analytics data is not used to access subscription credentials, proxy traffic, or other files on your device. Referrer URLs provided by your browser may contain query parameters, so avoid including personal information in links before visiting this site. Retention periods for network logs and analytics records depend on the actual deployment configuration; this policy does not promise a specific number of days without confirmation.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Static pages do not require login cookies. Depending on the configuration, analytics tools may use cookies or similar identifiers to distinguish visits and repeat visits; these identifiers do not reveal your real name. Page tab selections can also be restored using URL fragments, which are not cookies.
Your browser may cache this site's fonts, stylesheets, scripts, and page files to reduce repeat requests. Check the data actually stored for this site in your browser to see whether cookies or local storage are in use. You can view, delete, or restrict this data in your browser's site settings, and can also block analytics scripts. Doing so may disable some analytics or saved preferences, but the page content remains available.
4. Downloads and Third-Party Services
Download links may lead to app stores or client websites, or route file requests through this site. When you use a routed link, the relevant network services still process information needed to handle the request. After you leave for an external site, that site may independently receive your IP address, device information, and referrer information sent by your browser under its own policies. Its own privacy policy applies.
This policy does not replace the policies of clients, app stores, or subscription services. After installation, system permissions, configuration sync, subscription updates, and network connections are handled by the relevant software and services. Before downloading, check the destination domain, app name, and publisher; review permission prompts during installation. For configuration help, see the Clash setup guide, and never submit subscription credentials to an unfamiliar site.
5. Policy Updates and Questions
If analytics methods, browser storage purposes, or external service links change significantly, this site will update this page and the last-updated month at the top. The revised policy will be published here; we will not send email notifications because we do not collect email addresses. Check the date when you return to see which policy currently applies.
If you have questions about how data is handled, start with the guide's explanation of proxy modes and the FAQ in the full documentation to distinguish website activity from client behavior. If you encounter an unexpected redirect, stop and note the page path and steps that led to it. Redact subscription URLs, account details, and other sensitive information from any screenshots or notes.
