Layoff Today uses cookies and similar technologies to remember preferences, support site functionality, understand how visitors use the site, measure engagement, and improve our services.

Our site may also use third-party analytics and measurement providers. Those providers may collect information in accordance with their own privacy practices.

We may share information with service providers, contractors, analytics vendors, email delivery providers, hosting providers, and other partners that help us operate Layoff Today on our behalf and subject to appropriate contractual protections.

We may also disclose information when we believe it is necessary to comply with law, respond to legal process, protect our rights or the rights of others, investigate security or abuse issues, or in connection with a business transaction such as a merger, sale, financing, or asset transfer.

We do not sell personal information for money. We do not knowingly publish private personal data submitted to us except as required for editorial, legal, or operational reasons consistent with applicable law.

Layoff Today reports on companies, layoffs, workforce trends, and related public-interest topics. Our articles may reference information drawn from public sources, company disclosures, media reports, tips, and other journalistic inputs.

This Privacy Statement governs our handling of personal information collected through the site and related services. It does not limit lawful editorial or journalistic activities protected under applicable law.

We retain personal information for as long as reasonably necessary for the purposes described in this Privacy Statement, including providing services, maintaining records, resolving disputes, enforcing agreements, and complying with legal obligations.

Retention periods may vary depending on the type of information, the sensitivity of the data, and operational or legal requirements.

We use reasonable administrative, technical, and organizational measures designed to help protect personal information. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure.

Accordingly, we cannot guarantee absolute security of any information you provide to us.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights regarding your personal information, such as the right to request access, correction, deletion, or limitation of certain processing, and the right to object to or opt out of certain uses.

We will consider and respond to requests as required by applicable law. We may need to verify your identity before processing a request.

Layoff Today is based in the United States and may process or store information in the United States or other jurisdictions where our service providers operate. Data protection laws in those jurisdictions may differ from the laws where you live.

Layoff Today is not directed to children under 13, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13 through the site. If we learn that we have collected such information, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.

We may update this Privacy Statement from time to time. When we do, we will post the revised version on this page and update the effective date above.

Your continued use of Layoff Today after an updated Privacy Statement becomes effective means you acknowledge the revised statement.
