Privacy Policy

Thank you for using Asus Merlin firmware. We value your privacy and are committed to protecting your personal information. This Privacy Policy outlines how we collect, use, and safeguard your information when you use our firmware. Please read this document carefully to understand our views and practices regarding your personal data.

Information We Collect

We do not collect personal data directly from users through the Asus Merlin firmware. However, certain information may be collected indirectly as part of the router’s operation or through third-party services configured by the user (e.g., VPN providers, DNS services). The types of information include:

  • Network Data: IP addresses, MAC addresses, device names, and network traffic details.
  • Log Files: System logs for performance analysis, troubleshooting, and improvement purposes.
  • Third-party Integration Data: If you configure third-party services (such as VPN, DNS, or other plugins), they may collect personal information as per their policies.

How We Use Your Information

The data collected indirectly by the Asus Merlin firmware is used to:

  • Improve router performance and troubleshoot issues.
  • Enable advanced network management and security features.
  • Provide enhanced services like VPN integration, custom DNS settings, and traffic monitoring.
  • Ensure the security of your network and connected devices.

We do not store or process personal information for marketing or advertising purposes.

Sharing of Information

Asus Merlin firmware does not share any personal information with third-party entities. Any sharing of data would occur through third-party services integrated into your router (e.g., VPN services, dynamic DNS services), and their privacy policies will apply.

We recommend reviewing the privacy policies of any third-party services you configure with Asus Merlin, as they may have different data handling practices.

Security of Your Information

We take the security of your data seriously. Asus Merlin firmware provides several security features to protect your network and its data, including firewall options, VPN encryption, and more.

However, it is important to understand that the security of your data also depends on how the router is configured. We encourage users to:

  • Regularly update firmware to the latest version.
  • Use strong, unique passwords for network access and administration.
  • Enable encryption protocols, such as WPA3, where possible.

Your Data Privacy Rights

Depending on your location, you may have rights related to the privacy and protection of your data, including:

  • Right to Access: You may request details about the information collected through your router.
  • Right to Erasure: You may request the deletion of your information if collected.
  • Right to Restriction: You may request restrictions on how your information is processed.

Since Asus Merlin does not directly collect personal data, any requests related to personal data collected by third-party services should be directed to those providers.

Use of Cookies and Analytics

Asus Merlin firmware itself does not use cookies or analytics tools. However, any web interface or external service accessed through the firmware, including third-party websites or APIs, may use cookies. Please review the privacy policies of these services for more information.

Changes to this Privacy Policy

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and the “Effective Date” will be updated accordingly. We encourage users to check this page periodically for any updates.
