Privacy Policy
Last updated September 27, 2026
WealthIndex is a small, independent site. We collect as little data as possible, and this page describes exactly what that is.
What we collect
- Newsletter signups. If you enter your email in the newsletter form, we store the address so we can send you the WealthIndex brief when it launches. We don't sell it, share it, or use it for anything else. You can ask us to delete it at any time (see Contact below).
- Contact emails. Messages sent to contact@wealthindex.com are stored so they can be reviewed for corrections and inquiries. They're never forwarded anywhere else.
- Local browser storage. The site remembers which Fortune & Folly story you've already seen, using your browser's local storage. This never leaves your device.
That's it. There are no user accounts, no analytics trackers of our own, and no comment system.
Cookies and advertising
WealthIndex currently shows no display ads. If advertising is introduced in the future, this policy will be updated to describe how ad partners use cookies.
- You can opt out of personalized advertising at Google's Ads Settings.
- You can opt out of many third-party vendors' cookies at aboutads.info.
- Learn more in Google's advertising privacy policy.
You can also block cookies entirely in your browser settings; the calculators and stories work fine without them.
Data retention
Newsletter addresses and contact emails are kept only as long as they're useful — a signup stays until you unsubscribe or ask us to delete it; contact messages are kept for reference. Local-storage data lives in your browser until you clear it.
Children
WealthIndex is a general-audience site not directed at children under 13, and we don't knowingly collect information from them.
Changes
If this policy changes in a meaningful way, we'll note it here with a new "last updated" date.
