Clash is an open-source proxy tool that runs locally on the user's device. This software does not collect, upload, or store any user personal data. All your network traffic is transmitted between your own device and the proxy servers you configure, independently of the project's development team.
1. Information We Collect
Clash (including the Mihomo core and clients for various platforms) does not collect any personally identifiable information, including but not limited to:

- Usage data such as traffic volume or connection logs
All configuration files (YAML), node information, and rule lists are saved only on your local device and are never sent to any third-party servers.
