Privacy Policy

Version 1.0 · Effective July 6, 2026 · Dream Team AI LLC, d/b/a Ambitious Social

IMPORTANT NOTICE: This Policy is incorporated into our Terms & Conditions. Any dispute arising out of or relating to this Policy or our data practices is subject to the binding individual arbitration agreement, class action waiver, jury trial waiver, limitations of liability, and one-year claim period in the Terms & Conditions. Section 6 explains what is public by design. Read them carefully.

Your privacy at a glance

The plain-English version. The numbered sections below are the operative document — if these two ever differ, the sections win.

  1. We do not sell your personal information. Not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not to anyone.
  2. Your profile, posts, comments, streaks, and leaderboard rank are public — to members, logged-out visitors, and search engines.
  3. Direct messages are private to the conversation. They are not end-to-end encrypted, and we can access them for safety and legal compliance.
  4. Ads are our own first-party system. Advertisers see aggregate numbers only — never your identity, never your data.
  5. Ambitious is AI-native: automated systems rank the feed, categorize content, and run clearly-labeled platform accounts.
  6. We collect what the product needs to run — account info, content, device and usage data — and use it to operate, secure, and improve the Platform.
  7. Trusted vendors (hosting, email, SMS, payments, AI processing) handle data on our behalf, under contract, for us — not for themselves.
  8. You can edit your profile, control notifications, unsubscribe from email, block members, and delete your account in Settings.
  9. Your data lives on U.S. servers. Using the Platform from anywhere means it travels here.
  10. Privacy disputes go through the same arbitration process as everything else. It's in the Terms. It applies here.

1. Scope; acceptance; relationship to the Terms

1.1 This Privacy Policy (the "Policy") is issued by Dream Team AI LLC, a Michigan limited liability company doing business as Ambitious Social ("Ambitious," "we," "us," "our"). It applies to all information collected through the Ambitious Social websites, mobile applications, and related services (the "Platform"), through our communications with you (including email, push notifications, and SMS), and through our advertising and support channels. It does not apply to third-party websites, applications, or services that we do not control, including advertiser destinations you choose to visit.

1.2 By creating an account, browsing the feed, or otherwise accessing or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Policy and consent to the collection, use, disclosure, and retention of information as described here. If you do not agree with this Policy, your sole and exclusive remedy is to discontinue all access to and use of the Platform.

1.3 This Policy is incorporated into, and forms part of, our Terms & Conditions. Capitalized terms not defined here carry the meanings given in the Terms. In the event of a direct conflict between this Policy and the Terms regarding data practices, this Policy controls; for everything else, the Terms control. The dispute-resolution provisions of the Terms — including binding individual arbitration, the class action waiver, the jury trial waiver, the limitations of liability, and the one-year limitation period — apply in full to any claim arising out of or relating to this Policy or our data practices, to the maximum extent permitted by law.

1.4 We may update this Policy as set out in Section 19. The version posted at ambitious.social/privacy, bearing the latest effective date, is the operative version.

2. Who we are

The entity responsible for the Platform and the data controller (where that concept applies) is Dream Team AI LLC, d/b/a Ambitious Social, 24681 Northwestern Hwy Frontage Rd, Southfield, MI 48075, United States. Privacy inquiries go to legal@ambitious.social. We have not appointed, and are not required to appoint, a representative in any other jurisdiction; the Platform is operated from, and directed to, the United States.

3. Information you provide

3.1 Account information. When you sign up we collect your email address, name, username, and password (stored only in salted, hashed form — we cannot read it). If you verified a phone number at any point, we hold that number. Email addresses are verified by one-time codes before an account is created.

3.2 Profile information. Everything you choose to add to your profile — photo, bio, tags, skills, ambitions, links, and similar details. Profile information exists to be seen; treat it that way when you write it.

3.3 Content. Your posts (wins, dreams, asks, hangouts, intros, and general posts), comments, replies, images, video, audio, prediction votes, likes, reposts, and every other piece of material you submit. Direct messages are collected and stored so we can deliver them.

3.4 Advertiser and billing information. If you advertise, we collect campaign content, targeting selections, destination URLs, business details, and billing records. Payments are processed by third-party payment processors; we do not store full payment-card numbers.

3.5 Communications. When you contact us — support requests, contact-form submissions, appeals, legal notices — we collect the contents of the communication and the contact details you provide, and we keep them.

4. Information collected automatically

4.1 Usage and engagement data. How you use the Platform: posts viewed, likes, reposts, comments, votes, streak activity, session frequency and duration, features used, search queries, and interaction patterns. This is the raw material of feed ranking, streaks, and leaderboards.

4.2 Device and technical data. Device type and model, operating system and version, app version, language, time zone, push-notification tokens (if you enable notifications), crash and diagnostic logs, and identifiers necessary to operate the apps.

4.3 Log and network data. IP address, browser type, referring pages, and timestamps of requests. We use IP addresses and request logs for security, abuse prevention, rate-limit enforcement, ad frequency capping and invalid-traffic filtering (including for signed-out visitors), and legal compliance.

4.4 Cookies and similar technologies. The web Platform uses cookies and local storage primarily to keep you signed in, maintain your session securely, remember preferences, and measure Platform performance. We do not run third-party advertising cookies or cross-site tracking pixels. Because there is no consensus standard for "Do Not Track" signals, the Platform does not respond to them; our practices are as described in this Policy regardless of any such signal.

5. Information from other sources

We may receive information about you from other users (posts that mention you, reports about your conduct, invitations sent to your email address), from our service providers (delivery, verification, fraud, and payment signals), and from publicly available sources where relevant to safety and integrity investigations. If someone invites you to the Platform, we process the contact details they provided to deliver the invitation — and for no other marketing purpose unless you join.

6. Public by design

6.1 The Platform is a public social network. Your profile, posts, comments, streaks, leaderboard placement, and engagement visible on content (such as like and repost counts) are public. They can be seen by members, by logged-out visitors, and by search engines and link previews, and they may be shared, quoted, reposted, screenshotted, or archived by others on and off the Platform. We do not control — and accept no responsibility or liability for — what other people or third-party services do with content you chose to make public.

6.2 Direct messages are private to the participants of the conversation. They are transmitted and stored encrypted in transit and at rest, but they are not end-to-end encrypted: our systems can access message content where necessary to deliver the service, enforce our Terms, protect users, or comply with law, as described in Sections 7 and 10.

6.3 Prediction votes are displayed only in aggregate; your individual vote is not shown to other users.

6.4 Deleting content or your account removes it from the Platform, but content that was public may persist in caches, search-engine indexes, screenshots, reposts, and archives beyond our control, and as described in Section 12. To the maximum extent permitted by law, you release Ambitious from any claim arising from the republication, retention, or use of content you made public, by any person or system outside our control.

7. How we use information

7.1 We use the information described above to:

  • Operate, maintain, and provide the Platform — accounts, feeds, posts, comments, messages, streaks, leaderboards, predictions, and search;
  • Personalize your experience, including ranking and recommending content in the feed;
  • Send service communications (verification codes, security alerts, receipts) and, subject to your preferences, notifications and product emails;
  • Operate our first-party advertising system: campaign review, delivery, pacing, frequency capping, measurement, billing, and invalid-traffic detection;
  • Protect the Platform and its members: detecting and preventing fraud, spam, abuse, toll fraud, engagement manipulation, and security incidents, and enforcing rate limits, blocks, and our Terms;
  • Measure, analyze, and improve the Platform, including through first-party analytics and aggregated or de-identified reporting;
  • Comply with law, respond to lawful requests, establish and defend legal claims, and enforce our agreements;
  • Any other purpose disclosed to you at the time of collection or with your consent.

7.2 Where the law of your jurisdiction requires a legal basis, we rely on: performance of our contract with you (the Terms); our legitimate interests in operating, securing, promoting, and improving the Platform; compliance with legal obligations; and your consent, where we ask for it — which you may withdraw prospectively without affecting prior processing.

7.3 We may create and use aggregated, anonymized, or de-identified data — data that no longer reasonably identifies you — for any lawful purpose, without restriction or further notice, and we commit to not attempting to re-identify it except to test the effectiveness of de-identification.

8. AI and automated systems

8.1 Ambitious is an AI-native platform. Automated systems — including machine-learning models — rank and score content, personalize feeds, categorize posts and interests, detect abuse and invalid ad traffic, and generate content for clearly platform-operated automated accounts (such as news, prediction, and section accounts). Feed placement, ranking, and amplification are determined by systems within our sole control and may change at any time.

8.2 Content and signals on the Platform may be processed by third-party AI service providers acting as our processors (for example, to generate summaries, categorize content, or assist with campaign creation). These providers process data on our behalf under contract and are not authorized to use your personal information to train their general-purpose models.

8.3 Automated content and prediction percentages are generated for engagement and information; as stated in the Terms, they are not advice, and no automated decision we make produces legal or similarly significant effects about you without a path to human review — ask at legal@ambitious.social.

9. Advertising and analytics

9.1 Advertising on the Platform is our own first-party system. We do not run third-party ad networks, third-party advertising cookies, or cross-site behavioral tracking. Ads may be shown to signed-in members and signed-out visitors; serving decisions use on-Platform signals (such as engagement, campaign targeting selections, and IP-based frequency capping and fraud controls).

9.2 Advertisers never receive your personal information. They see aggregate campaign metrics only — impressions, clicks, and spend. Advertisers are contractually prohibited from using Platform data to identify, profile, or retarget individuals off-Platform.

9.3 Analytics are first-party: we measure Platform usage with our own infrastructure for product, safety, and business purposes. We do not disclose message or post authorship data to analytics vendors for their own use.

10. How we share information

10.1 Service providers. We share information with vendors who process it on our behalf, under contractual confidentiality and use restrictions, solely to provide services to us: cloud hosting, database, authentication, and storage; web hosting and content delivery; email delivery; SMS and phone verification; push-notification delivery (including Apple and Google); payment processing; AI processing (Section 8.2); and workflow tooling for support requests.

10.2 Legal and safety. We may preserve and disclose information as we reasonably believe necessary to: comply with law, regulation, legal process, or governmental request; enforce the Terms and our policies and investigate potential violations; detect, prevent, or address fraud, security, or technical issues; or protect the rights, property, or safety of Ambitious, our users, or the public. Where permitted and practicable, we may — but are not obligated to — notify you of legal demands for your data.

10.3 Corporate transactions. If Ambitious is involved in a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization, bankruptcy, or sale of all or part of its assets, information may be disclosed to counterparties and advisors under confidentiality obligations and transferred as part of the transaction; the successor's use remains subject to this Policy until it is amended under Section 19.

10.4 With your direction or consent. We share information when you direct us to (for example, content you post publicly under Section 6) or when you otherwise consent.

WE DO NOT SELL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION, AND WE HAVE NOT SOLD IT IN THE PRECEDING TWELVE (12) MONTHS. WE DO NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION FOR CROSS-CONTEXT BEHAVIORAL ADVERTISING. WE DO NOT PROVIDE PERSONAL INFORMATION TO ADVERTISERS OR DATA BROKERS. IF THAT EVER CHANGES, THIS POLICY WILL CHANGE FIRST — AND YOU WILL GET THE OPT-OUT THE LAW REQUIRES BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE HAPPENS.

11. Your choices and controls

  • Profile. Edit or remove profile information at any time in the app or on the web.
  • Notifications. Enable, disable, and fine-tune push notifications by type in Settings, and at the operating-system level on your device.
  • Email. Every non-essential email includes an unsubscribe link; preferences are honored automatically. Service and security messages (verification codes, legal notices) are part of operating your account and cannot be opted out of while the account exists.
  • Blocking. Block any member; blocked users cannot interact with you, and our clients exclude their content from your feeds and search.
  • Content deletion. Delete your posts and comments at any time, subject to Section 6.4 and Section 12.
  • Account deletion. Delete your account in Settings → Delete account. Deletion removes your profile and content from the Platform, subject to Section 12.
  • Everything else. Email legal@ambitious.social. Verified requests get honored; see Sections 16 and 17.

12. Data retention

12.1 We retain personal information for as long as your account is active and as needed to provide the Platform. When you delete your account, we delete or de-identify your personal information within thirty (30) days, except as stated below.

12.2 We may retain information after deletion where reasonably necessary to: comply with legal, tax, and accounting obligations; resolve disputes and enforce our agreements (including billing records, debts, and records of Terms violations and bans); maintain security, fraud-prevention, and abuse records (including IP and rate-limit logs); honor legal holds; and complete transactions you initiated. Residual copies may persist in encrypted backups for up to ninety (90) days before rotating out.

12.3 Content that was shared, reposted, quoted, or cached by others, and aggregated or de-identified data, may persist as described in Sections 6.4 and 7.3.

13. Security

13.1 We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect personal information, including encryption in transit and at rest, row-level access controls at the database layer, hashed credentials, server-side rate limiting, scoped service credentials, and least-privilege internal access.

NO SYSTEM IS IMPENETRABLE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DO NOT WARRANT OR GUARANTEE THE SECURITY OF ANY INFORMATION, TRANSMISSION IS AT YOUR OWN RISK, AND WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, ALTERATION, OR DESTRUCTION OF INFORMATION EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY OUR VIOLATION OF NON-WAIVABLE LAW. ANY NOTIFICATION OF A SECURITY INCIDENT WILL BE MADE AS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND YOU CONSENT TO RECEIVE SUCH NOTICES ELECTRONICALLY.

13.2 You are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for the security of the devices you use to access the Platform. Notify us immediately at legal@ambitious.social of any suspected unauthorized access to your account.

14. Children

The Platform is not directed to children under thirteen (13), and we do not knowingly collect personal information from them (or from anyone under sixteen (16) where a higher minimum applies). Advertising is never served to members known to be under eighteen (18). If we learn that an account belongs to a child under the applicable minimum age, we will terminate it and delete the associated personal information. If you believe a child is using the Platform, report it to legal@ambitious.social.

15. International users; transfers to the United States

The Platform is operated from the United States, and information is stored and processed on servers in the United States (and in other countries where our service providers operate), where privacy laws may differ from — and may be less protective than — those of your jurisdiction. By using the Platform from outside the United States, you acknowledge and consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information in the United States as described in this Policy. Where the law of your jurisdiction requires a transfer mechanism, we rely on your consent, on performance of our contract with you, and, with our processors, on contractual safeguards.

16. U.S. state privacy rights

16.1 Depending on your state of residence (including California, Colorado, Connecticut, Texas, Virginia, and others with comprehensive privacy laws), you may have the right to: know/access the personal information we hold about you; correct inaccuracies; delete personal information; obtain a portable copy; and opt out of sales, sharing for cross-context behavioral advertising, targeted advertising, and certain profiling. As stated in Section 10, we do not sell personal information, do not share it for cross-context behavioral advertising, and do not engage in targeted advertising based on data obtained from other businesses, so there is nothing to opt out of; the remaining rights we honor as described here.

16.2 To exercise a right, email legal@ambitious.social with the subject "Privacy Rights Request," or use the in-app account tools (which satisfy access, correction, and deletion for most data). We must verify your identity to a reasonable degree of certainty before acting — typically by confirming control of the email address on the account — and we may decline requests we cannot verify. An authorized agent may submit a request with proof of written authorization; we may still require you to verify your identity directly.

16.3 We will respond within the time required by applicable law (generally forty-five (45) days, extendable as permitted). We will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. If we decline a request, we will explain why, and you may appeal by replying with "Appeal" in the subject line; if your appeal is denied, you may contact your state attorney general.

16.4 Categories disclosure. In the preceding twelve (12) months we have collected the categories of personal information described in Sections 3 through 5 (identifiers; account and profile information; user content; commercial and billing information; internet and network activity; device information; and inferences for feed personalization), for the purposes in Section 7, disclosed to the recipient categories in Section 10.1 for business purposes only. We do not collect government identifiers, biometric data, or precise geolocation, and we do not use or disclose sensitive personal information for purposes requiring a right to limit under California law. California "Shine the Light": we do not disclose personal information to third parties for their own direct-marketing purposes.

17. European Economic Area, United Kingdom, and similar jurisdictions

17.1 If the GDPR, UK GDPR, or a similar law applies to you, Dream Team AI LLC is the controller (Section 2), the legal bases in Section 7.2 apply, and you may have rights of access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection, and the right to withdraw consent prospectively. Exercise them as described in Section 16.2. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local supervisory authority — though we'd ask you to give us the first shot at fixing it.

17.2 The Platform is directed to the United States. We do not target or monitor individuals in the EEA or UK, and we make no representation that the Platform is appropriate or available for use outside the United States.

18. Third-party services and links

The Platform links to and integrates with third-party services — advertiser destinations, linked websites, app stores, and the services in Section 10.1 — each governed by its own privacy policy. We do not control and are not responsible for the privacy practices of any third party, and a link or integration is not an endorsement. Data you provide directly to a third party — including on an advertiser's landing page — is governed by that third party's policy, not this one, and any claim about it belongs with them, not us.

19. Changes to this Policy

We may modify this Policy at any time in our discretion. When we do, we will update the effective date above and, for material changes, provide reasonable notice through the Platform or to the email address associated with your account before the changes take effect. Except as otherwise stated in the notice, changes take effect upon posting, and your continued access to or use of the Platform after the effective date constitutes acceptance. If you do not agree to the revised Policy, you must stop using the Platform and may delete your account; that is your exclusive remedy.

20. Disputes; limitations

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW: ANY DISPUTE, CLAIM, OR CONTROVERSY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS POLICY OR OUR COLLECTION, USE, DISCLOSURE, OR RETENTION OF INFORMATION SHALL BE RESOLVED EXCLUSIVELY THROUGH THE INFORMAL-RESOLUTION AND BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROVISIONS OF SECTION 22 OF THE TERMS & CONDITIONS, ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY, AND IS SUBJECT TO THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER, JURY TRIAL WAIVER, ONE-YEAR CLAIM PERIOD, DISCLAIMERS OF WARRANTIES, AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY SET OUT IN THE TERMS, WHICH ARE INCORPORATED HERE BY REFERENCE. NOTHING IN THIS SECTION WAIVES ANY RIGHT THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

This Policy is governed by the laws of the State of Michigan and applicable U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles, as set out in Section 23 of the Terms.
