Privacy Policy
Draft version · last updated July 2026
LayoffLink exists to help people between jobs get a real referral, without a hiring pipeline's usual friction. That only works if you trust us with your information, so here's a straight account of what we collect and why.
What we collect
- Profile information you give us on Gate A, Gate B, or Gate C — name (optional, if you choose to share it), target role, skills, resume, company, and similar fields specific to each onboarding flow.
- Usage information, like which jobs you view or save, so the dashboard can work.
- Contact information if you email us directly.
What we don't do
- We don't sell your data to third parties.
- We don't show your name or resume to anyone until you choose to share it with a specific match.
- We don't charge you, or take a cut of any referral bonus you receive.
How matching works
In this early phase, matches are made by hand by a real person on the LayoffLink team who reviews your profile alongside available referrers and roles. Your information is visible to that person, and — once you consent to a specific match — to the referrer or organization you're being connected with.
Where your data actually lives
Your account, password, profile, resume, and job activity are stored on our server (a WordPress database), not just in your browser — they're tied to your account and available whenever you log back in, from any device. A small amount of local browser state (like saved filters) may still live in localStorage for convenience, but nothing account-related depends on it.
Your choices
- You can stay anonymous until you choose to reveal your identity to a match.
- You can ask us to delete your information at any time by emailing us.
