How this site handles data

Privacy policy

No accounts and no forms — but this site does run a first-party visit tracker and shows ads, both described plainly below.

Reviewed against published state sources on September 11, 2026. Rules and figures change — always confirm with the agency before acting. Privacy section updated September 12, 2026 to describe this site's visit tracker.

The short version

This page covers fileunemploymentflorida.com, an independent reference on Florida's Reemployment Assistance program. It is a plain static website: no accounts, no login, no server-side contact form, no newsletter, no comments and no shopping cart. The Contact page is a plain mailto: link that opens your own email program — nothing you type there passes through this site or is collected or stored by it. We never ask for your Social Security number, wage history, claim status or any other personal or claim detail, and we have no way to collect them directly. Two things happen automatically in the background — a first-party visit tracker, and ads served by Google AdSense — both described below.

What we do not collect

  • We do not ask for or store your name, email address, postal address or telephone number.
  • We do not ask for or store your Social Security number, employment history, wage records, claim status, or any other Reemployment Assistance detail.
  • We do not sell, rent or share the visit-tracker information described below with advertisers or any other third party.

Calculator

The weekly benefit estimator runs entirely in your own browser using JavaScript. The wage figure you type in stays on your device.

The numbers you enter are never transmitted to us or to anyone else, and they are not stored. Close or reload the page and they are gone.

Analytics

This site runs a first-party visit tracker — not Google Analytics or any other third-party analytics platform. When a page loads, it records the page viewed, the referring page, your device type, browser and operating system, and an approximate screen size. It assigns your browser a random ID, stored in your browser's local storage (not a cookie, but similar in effect), so a repeat visit to this site can be recognized as the same visitor; that ID only works on this site and is not shared with, or readable by, any other website.

It also records certain clicks — on links to other sites, links to the Disclaimer or Privacy pages, in-page section jumps, and FAQ items you open (plus phone or email links, on any page that has one) — and roughly how long a page stays open and visible in your browser tab, so our own traffic reports can show which pages and links actually get used.

For visitors in the United States, an approximate state-level location is looked up using part of your IP address, sent to a third-party lookup service (ipapi.co); your country is determined without any external lookup. Your full IP address is not stored by this site.

This data is kept in our own database, is not sold, rented or shared with advertisers or any other third party, and is viewed only by us, through a password-protected page. There is currently no fixed schedule for deleting it. There is no consent banner or built-in opt-out for this tracker today — see Cookies, and how to opt out below for how to block it yourself.

Advertising

This site shows ads served by Google AdSense. Google and its advertising partners use cookies and similar technology to serve ads, measure how they perform, and limit how many times you see the same one. Depending on your location and consent choices, some ads may be personalised using information Google has about you from other sites and services; where required by law, a consent banner asks before any personalised-advertising cookie is set.

You can review and adjust the ad settings tied to your Google Account at myadcenter.google.com, or opt out of personalised advertising across participating sites generally at aboutads.info/choices. Opting out does not stop ads from appearing here — it only stops them from being personalised.

Google's own use of advertising cookies on sites like this one is described at how Google uses information from sites that use our services.

Cookies, and how to opt out

Google AdSense sets its own cookies to serve and measure ads, described in Advertising above. This site does not set a traditional cookie of its own, but the visit tracker described in Analytics above stores a random ID in your browser's local storage instead, for the same kind of purpose. There is no login or session cookie, because there are no accounts.

You can clear the visit-tracker ID at any time by clearing this site's data in your browser's site settings, or prevent it entirely by blocking tribeca_rep--25c3e054ae2711f1936e1607ee4eb77e.web.val.run in a content blocker. You can block advertising cookies with a content blocker or your browser's tracking protection settings too. Nothing on this site depends on any cookie or the visit tracker — every page, table and the calculator work identically with them blocked.

Web fonts

The typefaces used here (Lora and Inter) are loaded from Google Fonts, which means your browser makes a request to Google's servers to fetch the font files. Google's handling of those requests is governed by its own privacy policy.

Server logs

This site is hosted on a third-party hosting platform. Like virtually all web hosts, that platform records standard technical request data — IP address, timestamp, the page requested, the referring page and the browser user-agent string — for security, abuse prevention and operational purposes. We do not use those logs to identify individuals. Handling of that data is governed by the hosting provider's own privacy policy.

Children

This site is not directed at children and we do not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes — including if the visit tracker described above changes what it collects, or a new provider is added — the revised version will be posted on this page with a new review date.
