Privacy, in plain language.

Apps

Shadowfetch apps are published on the App Store by Robert Corbin. They are designed as small, single-purpose tools: typically a one-time purchase, no account, no telemetry, and no ads. Data you enter stays on your device unless an app’s own App Store privacy label or in-app copy says otherwise for a specific feature you choose to use.

Open source

Open source, including Shadowfetch Linux, lives atwww.shadowfetchlinux.org. The signed APT repository and ISO files remain at their existingwww.shadowfetch.com/linux/apt/addresses so installed machines keep updating.

This website

You can read the site without registering. Cloudflare delivers and protects it, and in doing so processes ordinary technical records such as request time, page path, and coarse network metadata for security and reliability. Those records are not used to build a reading profile of you.

One measurement service runs on this site. Cloudflare Web Analyticsreports the path you loaded, the page you arrived from, a random identifier generated fresh for that single page load, and how long the page took to render. It sets no cookie and writes nothing to storage on your device, so it cannot recognise you on the next page or on your next visit. The query string is stripped before anything is sent, which is why what you type into the search box is never part of the measurement.

Google AdSense supplies and measures advertising on this website. Google and its advertising partners may receive ordinary request and device information, use cookies or similar storage, and process information to select, limit, secure, and measure ads. Google explains that processing inHow Google uses information from sites or apps that use its services. Ad availability and personalization depend on your region, consent choices, browser settings, and Google's policies.

The catalog footer’s “Visitors today” number counts distinct network addresses seen on HTML page visits for the current UTC day. Addresses are hashed and are not stored.

Shadowfetch does not run Google Analytics. If you choose Dark or Light in the footer, the site stores that single preference as sf-theme in your browser’s local storage so it can use the same theme next time. That theme value is not sent to Shadowfetch and is not used as an advertising identifier.

Optional contributions or App Store purchases are handled by those providers under their own terms; Shadowfetch does not receive your card number.

Email and support

If you write to support@shadowfetch.com, we keep the message long enough to answer it and to maintain a minimal record of the request. Do not send passwords, private keys, or recovery phrases. The site does not operate a mailing-list subscription.
