Privacy Policy

How My Router Local collects, uses and protects your information.

This privacy policy explains what information My Router Local ("we", "us", "this site") collects when you visit my-router-local.com, how that information is used and the choices you have. By using this site you agree to the practices described here.

Information you give us

When you request our free Router Login and Lockdown Tool, we ask for your first name and email address. That is the only personal information the form collects. We use it to send you access to the tool and to send you occasional emails about router, WiFi, home networking and online privacy topics.

Our email list is managed by AWeber, a third party email service provider. Your name and email address are stored on AWeber servers and handled under the AWeber privacy policy. We do not sell, rent or trade your email address with anyone.

Unsubscribing

Every email we send includes an unsubscribe link at the bottom. Clicking it removes you from the list immediately. You can also ask us to delete your information entirely using the contact details below.

Information collected automatically

Like most websites, this site may record standard technical information when you visit, such as your IP address, browser type, device type, the pages you view and the site that referred you. This information is used in aggregate to understand how the site is used and to keep it running securely. It is not used to identify you personally.

Cookies and local storage

This site may use cookies, which are small text files stored by your browser. Cookies are used for basic site functionality, for anonymous traffic measurement and for affiliate tracking as described below. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Some features of the site may not work correctly if cookies are disabled.

The Router Login and Lockdown Tool saves your checklist progress in your own browser using local storage so you can return to it later. That progress never leaves your device and is not sent to us.

Affiliate links and third party tracking

My Router Local is reader supported. Some links on this site are affiliate links to products and services such as NordVPN and Firewalla. When you click an affiliate link, the affiliate network or merchant may place a cookie in your browser so that a later purchase can be credited to this site. We may earn a commission from that purchase at no extra cost to you.

Affiliate programs we participate in may include Impact (Nord Security affiliate program) and Refersion (Firewalla). These companies operate their own websites and tracking under their own privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. Every affiliate link on this site carries a disclosure line directly beneath the button, and a full disclosure block appears on the home page.

Third party websites

Our guides link to router manufacturer pages, internet provider support pages and other outside resources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those websites. Review their policies before submitting any information to them.

Children

This site is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children. If you believe a child has submitted information to us, contact us and we will delete it.

Data security

We take reasonable steps to protect the information you share with us. Email addresses are stored with AWeber, which maintains its own security practices. No method of transmission or storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.

Your rights

Depending on where you live, you may have the right to access, correct or delete the personal information we hold about you, or to object to how it is used. To exercise any of these rights, email us at the address below and we will respond within a reasonable time.

Changes to this policy

We may update this policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and continued use of the site after a change means you accept the updated policy.
