Privacy Policy

Last updated: March 1, 2026

1. Introduction

American Dream Index ("ADI," "we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, and protect information when you use our website at americandreamindex.com (the "Site") and any related services.

2. Information We Collect

Information you provide voluntarily: When you pre-register or contact us, we collect your name, email address, occupation, city, and any other information you choose to share. We do not require you to link any financial accounts, and we do not collect your Social Security Number, bank account information, or credit card information.

Usage data: We automatically collect standard web analytics data including pages visited, time on site, and general geographic location (city/region level). This data is collected in aggregate and is not linked to your identity.

No financial account data: ADI computes your score using public data about your occupation and location — not your personal financial accounts. We will never ask you to link a bank account, credit card, or investment account.

3. How We Use Your Information

We use the information you provide to:

  • Notify you when early access to your ADI score is available
  • Send product updates and relevant financial insights (with your consent)
  • Improve our data models and user experience
  • Respond to your inquiries and support requests
  • Comply with legal obligations

4. Data Sharing

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

  • Service providers: Companies that help us operate our website and services (email delivery, analytics), under strict confidentiality agreements.
  • Legal requirements: If required by law or to protect our rights.

5. Data Security

We implement industry-standard security measures to protect your information. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Access to personal data is restricted to authorized personnel only.

6. Your Rights

You have the right to:

  • Access the personal information we hold about you
  • Request correction or deletion of your data
  • Opt out of marketing communications at any time
  • Request a copy of your data in a portable format

To exercise these rights, email us at privacy@americandreamindex.com.

7. Cookies

We use essential cookies to operate the site and analytics cookies to understand how visitors use it. You can disable analytics cookies in your browser settings without affecting site functionality.
