This website (FREDEconDashboard.com) is a public economic data dashboard powered by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) API. We do not sell data to third parties.
The free version of this site does not require registration and does not collect personally identifiable information. A premium subscription option may be offered in the future, which would require account registration and payment processing as described below.
This Privacy Policy explains what data is collected through this site and its third-party services, how it is used, and your choices regarding that data.
We do not collect or store any personal information directly from free users. However, third-party services embedded on this site may collect certain data automatically, as described below.
If you choose to create a premium account, we will collect your email address and a securely hashed password for authentication purposes. Payment processing is handled by a third-party payment processor (such as Stripe); we do not store credit card numbers or payment details directly. You may delete your account at any time by contacting us at the email address listed in this policy. We retain account data only as long as your account is active or as needed to provide services.

All economic data displayed on this dashboard is sourced from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis (FRED) via their public API. No personally identifiable information is transmitted to or from FRED. AI-generated analysis is produced using the Anthropic Claude API; only anonymized economic data values are sent to generate narrative text.
This site is not directed at children under the age of 13. The free version does not collect any personal information from any user.

We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided personal information through this site, please contact us and we will take steps to remove it.
