Privacy Policy
This privacy policy describes what information The Retirement Index collects when you visit our website, how we use that information, and the choices you have. It applies only to the theretirementindex.com website and not to third-party sites we may link to.
Information we collect
We collect limited information through standard web analytics and through any forms you choose to submit, including newsletter signups and contact-form submissions. We do not sell personal information.
Analytics
We use Google Analytics 4 and Microsoft Clarity to understand how readers use the site at an aggregate level — which pages are read, how long visitors stay, and which links are clicked. These tools may set cookies in your browser and collect IP address, device, and usage data. IP anonymization is enabled where supported. You can opt out of Google Analytics tracking via the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.
Newsletter
If you subscribe to our newsletter, we collect the email address you submit and store it with our newsletter provider for the purpose of sending you the newsletter. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link in any email.
Cookies
The Retirement Index uses cookies for analytics and to remember user preferences. Affiliate partners may set cookies on outbound clicks to attribute referrals. You can disable cookies in your browser settings; the site will continue to work, but some functionality may be affected.
Third-party affiliate networks
When you click an outbound affiliate link, the destination company and its affiliate network may collect data about that click and any subsequent activity in accordance with their own privacy policies. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party privacy practices.
Your rights
Residents of California (under the CCPA) and the European Economic Area (under GDPR) have rights regarding the personal information we hold about them, including the right to access, correct, or delete that information, and the right to opt out of certain processing. To exercise these rights, contact us at the address below.
Children
The Retirement Index is not directed to children under 13 and does not knowingly collect personal information from them.

We may update this policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected by an updated “Last reviewed” date at the top of this page.
