Effective date: September 18, 2026. Modem.net is operated by America Choose, 75 E 3rd St, Ste 7, Sheridan, WY 82801. Privacy questions can be sent to support@modem.net.
Information collected automatically
When you visit Modem.net, our hosting, security, advertising, and measurement providers may receive technical information such as your IP address, browser and device characteristics, requested pages, referring URLs, approximate location derived from IP address, timestamps, and diagnostic information. This information can be used to deliver the site, prevent abuse, measure performance, understand traffic, and support advertising.
Google AdSense and advertising cookies
Modem.net uses Google AdSense. Third-party vendors, including Google, may use cookies to serve ads based on a user's prior visits to Modem.net or other websites. Google's use of advertising cookies enables Google and its partners to serve ads based on visits to this site and other sites on the Internet. Depending on consent choices, region, and Google settings, ads may be personalized, non-personalized, or limited.
Third parties may place and read cookies on your browser, or use web beacons, IP addresses, and other identifiers as a result of ad serving. You can learn how Google uses information from sites and apps that use its services at Google's partner-sites information page. You can manage personalized advertising through Google Ads Settings. Some users may also use industry opt-out tools such as AboutAds.
Consent management
For visitors in regions where consent is required, including the European Economic Area, the United Kingdom, and Switzerland, Modem.net intends to use a Google-certified consent management platform that supports the IAB Transparency and Consent Framework for advertising consent. Visitors may be presented with privacy choices before personalized advertising or certain storage technologies are used. US state privacy messages may also be shown where appropriate.
Affiliate links
Some outbound links are affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link, the destination service may receive referral parameters and may use cookies or similar technologies to attribute a purchase. Amazon and other third-party services have their own privacy policies and control their own data practices.
Speed test and external services
The speed test may communicate with third-party network measurement infrastructure. Running a speed test intentionally transfers data and may reveal technical information such as IP address and network characteristics to the measurement provider. Use the tool only if you are comfortable with that network activity.
Data retention
Retention periods depend on the system involved and the purpose for which information is processed. Security logs may be retained for fraud and abuse prevention, while advertising and analytics providers apply their own retention policies. We aim to avoid retaining personal information longer than reasonably necessary for the stated purpose.
US state privacy rights
Depending on where you live and applicable law, you may have rights to request access, correction, deletion, or a portable copy of certain personal information, or to opt out of certain uses such as targeted advertising, sale, or sharing as those terms are defined by applicable state law. Requests may be sent to support@modem.net. We may need to verify a request before acting on it.
Children
Modem.net is a general-audience internet and networking information site and is not directed to children under 13. We do not knowingly request personal information from children through the site.
Security
We use reasonable administrative and technical safeguards appropriate to a public informational website. No internet transmission or storage system can be guaranteed to be completely secure.
Changes to this policy
We may update this Privacy Policy as our services, advertising configuration, vendors, or legal obligations change. The effective date above will be updated when material revisions are published.
