Privacy Policy
Last updated: August 2026
This policy applies to the static pages, tutorials, client information, and download links provided by Clash Simplified Chinese Resource Hub under the clashfirst.com domain. Visiting or continuing to use this site means that you have read this policy. The site provides public technical information only; it does not offer user accounts or require visitors to submit personally identifiable information.
1. Data Collection Scope
This site uses a static page structure and does not offer registration, login, comments, online payments, or email subscriptions. It therefore does not collect names, email addresses, phone numbers, payment details, or account passwords through those features. Visitors can read tutorials, browse the FAQ, and open client download pages without submitting personal information.
As with ordinary website visits, the server may generate necessary access logs while processing requests. These logs typically include the request time, page path, browser type, device type, referring page, network address, and request status. This information is used mainly to keep the site available, identify unusual requests, analyze page errors, and troubleshoot access problems—not to build personal profiles.
Do not submit subscription URLs, proxy nodes, configuration contents, account credentials, or other sensitive information through address-bar parameters, external redirect parameters, or other publicly accessible input fields. Normal use of this site does not require any of these details.
2. Analytics and Use of Data
This site uses analytics tools to understand overall page usage. The data may include page views, traffic sources, visit duration, device and browser categories, screen size, and approximate location. This information helps determine which download instructions need clarification, which tutorial steps cause confusion, and whether the mobile site has compatibility issues.
Analytics results are used for site operations and content improvement. They are not used to deliver personalized advertising, and visitors are not asked to link analytics records to their real identities. To protect site security, unusually frequent requests, automated scans, or activity that clearly affects service stability may be logged and subject to rate limiting.
3. Cookies and Local Storage
Analytics features may use cookies under this site's domain to distinguish consecutive visits, reduce duplicate measurements, and retain necessary analytics state. A cookie is a small piece of data saved by the browser. It does not contain site account information because this site has no account system. Visitors can restrict or clear cookies in their browser settings. Static documents and download pages will remain accessible, but analytics may no longer distinguish consecutive sessions accurately.
The site's interface scripts may use browser local storage to save limited page state, such as a selected platform tab, interface preferences, or whether a one-time notice has been dismissed. This data remains in the browser on the current device and is used mainly to restore page state. It is not used to store configuration files, subscription contents, or identity information. Clearing site data restores the related preferences to their defaults.
4. Third-Party Links and Download Sources
This site may link to app stores, official software project websites, or other independently operated websites. After leaving this site, data handling by those services is governed by their own privacy policies and terms of use. This site cannot control cookies, logging practices, or data retention periods configured by third-party pages. Before opening an external link, check the domain in the browser address bar and confirm the purpose of the page.
When downloading a client, first confirm that the operating system, processor architecture, file extension, and client name match the download instructions. For app-store installations, rely on the information shown on the relevant store listing. If the browser or operating system displays warnings about the source, permissions, or signature, read them fully before deciding whether to continue. This site will not ask visitors to submit an email address, account password, or proxy configuration before downloading.
5. Data Retention and Security Boundaries
Server logs and aggregated analytics are retained only as needed for maintenance, security analysis, and troubleshooting, and are periodically reviewed according to operational settings. Because internet transmission and third-party services have their own technical limitations, no website can guarantee that network requests are completely free from risk at every stage. Visitors should manage local configurations, subscription links, and service credentials carefully, and must not publish them on public pages or provide them to sites of unknown origin.
If this site's cookies or local state are saved in the browser, visitors can view and delete them through the browser's site-data management tools. This site has no account portal for looking up an individual visitor's history and does not require real-identity verification to complete deletion.
6. Policy Updates and Feedback
This policy may be updated when site features, analytics methods, or applicable rules change. Updated content will be published directly on this page, and the “Last updated” month at the top will be changed. Important changes to the scope of data processing will be explained clearly on the relevant feature pages. Continuing to visit pages after an update means using this site under the new version of the policy.
For information about page features, downloading, or configuration, please first consult the FAQ and usage guide. Feedback should be limited to page issues that can be described publicly. Do not include subscription URLs, node information, access credentials, original configuration files, or other sensitive data.
