Privacy-first design

Laid Off in America is designed to collect as little information as possible.

  • We collect your email only when you request the free checklist or submit a form.
  • We may collect your state, biggest concern, work-authorization dependency answer, survey answers, and referral/UTM source if you provide them.
  • We do not ask for Social Security numbers, passport numbers, I-94 numbers, bank account details, birth dates, home addresses, or employer passwords.
  • We do not sell your personal information.
  • We do not use lead form submissions, survey answers, Self-Check selections, or chat messages to train our own AI models.

Chat assistant (Concierge)

Chat messages are processed through Lovable AI to generate responses. We do not intentionally store chat transcripts on our own servers.

Please do not submit Social Security numbers, passport or I-94 numbers, bank account numbers, home addresses, case numbers, or other sensitive identifiers in chat. The assistant does not need them, and the chat is not the right place to share them.

The Concierge is for general educational guidance only. It does not provide legal, financial, tax, medical, or immigration advice.

Layoff Document Self-Check

The Layoff Document Self-Check does not include document upload or pasted document text. It works from the selections you make in your browser.

We do not need names, Social Security numbers, passport numbers, I-94 numbers, addresses, bank details, or account numbers for the Self-Check.

Information stored in your browser

To help you resume where you left off, we save your intake answers and Self-Check selections in your browser's local storage. This data stays on your device and is not sent to us unless you submit a form. You can clear it at any time from your browser settings.

Analytics

We use Plausible Analytics to understand aggregate site usage and improve the product. Plausible does not use cookies or track visitors across sites. We do not send emails, payment transaction IDs, work-authorization answers, document selections, or form contents to analytics.

Service providers we use

We use a small number of service providers to operate the site:

  • Lovable Cloud for hosting, database, and application infrastructure.
  • Cloudflare for edge hosting and request routing.
  • Paddle as our Merchant of Record for payments, billing, refunds, and tax compliance.
  • Plausible Analytics for aggregate, cookie-free site analytics.

When you buy a product, Paddle sends us your email address, the product purchased, the transaction ID, and payment status so we can grant access and provide support. We do not store card numbers, billing addresses, or any other payment details — those stay with Paddle.

Data retention

We retain lead and survey records for up to 24 months by default unless you request deletion earlier. You can request deletion by emailing support@laidoffinamerica.com.

Security

We use standard application security practices appropriate for an early-stage validation product, including server-side validation, limited data collection, and restricted database access. No internet-based service can guarantee absolute security.

Security incidents

If we learn of a data security incident affecting your personal information, we will notify affected users as required by applicable law.
