Applies to: Candidates, Employers, Recruiters, Staffing Agencies, Third-Party Representatives

Wigiwork operates an NDA-Safe™, anonymous-by-default hiring environment designed to protect identities, prevent unauthorized disclosure, and maintain strict confidentiality across all candidate and employer interactions.

This Notice explains the confidentiality obligations that apply to all users, including candidates, employers, and recruitment agencies.

This Notice supplements the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy.

All activity on Wigiwork operates under an implied NDA, and candidate identity is protected by default and revealed only when explicitly approved through platform access controls.

Data accessed through Wigiwork must not be copied, exported, or reused outside the platform, and all information remains restricted to approved hiring workflows.

1. NDA-Safe™ Protected Environment

All activity on Wigiwork is covered under an implied Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).

Users agree to treat all information accessed on Wigiwork as confidential, including:

  • candidate profiles (anonymous or approved)
  • employer/company information
  • job postings and hiring details
  • internal notes, tags, or communications
  • any files, images, or documents
  • messages exchanged through the platform

You may not disclose, forward, copy, export, or reuse any information outside Wigiwork unless explicitly permitted by the party who owns the data.

Confidentiality obligations extend to all data, content, system-generated outputs, and AI-derived information accessed through Wigiwork.

2. Confidentiality Obligations

Users must not:

  • screenshot, record, save, or distribute any profile or content;
  • upload candidate information into ATS, CRM, spreadsheets, or databases;
  • share candidate data with unauthorized individuals or teams;
  • attempt to deanonymize or identify candidates outside approved access;
  • repurpose information for marketing, sales, or solicitation;
  • violate access expiration rules.

All candidate and employer information is subject to NDA protection.

Users are responsible for how they access, use, and handle information obtained through Wigiwork.

Unauthorized retention, reuse, or distribution may result in suspension, termination, or legal action.

3. Wigi-DNA™ Content Protection

Certain files and images include Wigi-DNA™, an invisible digital watermark designed to:

  • detect unauthorized copying or redistribution
  • support investigation of leaks
  • enforce confidentiality
  • trace misuse to the violating account

Wigi-DNA™ contains no personal identifiers.
Users may not attempt to modify, remove, bypass, or interfere with Wigi-DNA™ protections.

Wigiwork does not guarantee that Wigi-DNA™ protections will be effective in all cases, particularly where content is altered, captured externally, or used outside supported environments.

4. Company Ownership of Employer Accounts

Employer accounts belong to the company, not the individual who created them.

This means:

  • If an employee or recruiter creates a company account, the company owns it, not the employee.
  • If the company requests control, Wigiwork will transfer account ownership to the verified company representative.
  • Recruiters do NOT personally "own" employer accounts or candidate access.
  • Wigiwork may require verification from company leadership before transferring or modifying access.

This protects businesses from unauthorized access or rogue employees.

Employers are responsible for all actions taken under their accounts, including actions of employees, recruiters, contractors, and authorized users.

5. Recruiter & Agency Confidentiality Rules

Recruiters and agencies must:

  • disclose the employer clients they represent
  • identify the specific hiring client for each job or search
  • use candidate information only for the authorized employer
  • never pool or reuse candidates across multiple clients
  • not store or export candidate information to agency systems
  • maintain strict confidentiality across all clients and roles

Failure to comply may result in suspension, termination, or legal action.

6. Candidate Identity Protections

Candidates appear anonymous by default, and identity is shared only when the candidate explicitly approves an Access Request.

Users must not:

  • attempt to guess, infer, or identify candidates
  • combine profile information with external data sources
  • analyze writing style, skills, or history to determine identity
  • discuss or distribute information that could reveal identity

Violation may result in suspension, termination, and legal action.

Wigiwork does not guarantee that identification is impossible in all circumstances, particularly where users act outside platform controls.

6A. WigiPic™

WigiPics™ are anonymized, symbolic avatars used to protect candidate identity.
They may be generated from a user-uploaded photo, which is processed once and then permanently deleted and not stored or reused by Wigiwork. WigiPics do not represent real appearance and must not be interpreted as indicators of:

  • gender or gender identity
  • ethnicity or race
  • age
  • attractiveness
  • disability status
  • religion
  • or any other personal or protected characteristic

Employers, recruiters, and agencies must not:

  • attempt to infer identity or demographic traits from a WigiPic;
  • use a WigiPic to judge suitability for a role;
  • store, export, copy, or repurpose WigiPic Images;
  • use WigiPics in any marketing or public materials;
  • compare WigiPics to external images or attempt re-identification.

Misuse of WigiPic avatars is treated as an NDA violation and may result in suspension, account termination, or legal action.

Wigiwork is not responsible for any inference, interpretation, or misuse of WigiPic representations by users.

7. Mobile Number Requirements

To support safety and verification, Wigiwork requires:

  • real mobile numbers only
  • no landlines
  • no VoIP or virtual phone numbers (e.g., Google Voice, TextNow)
  • no temporary or disposable numbers

Mobile numbers are used for:

  • security
  • verification
  • essential notifications

They are not used for marketing.

If a candidate is unreachable through regular channels, Wigiwork may send a final-attempt SMS notification as part of critical communication.

This cannot be disabled due to safety requirements.

Wigiwork is not responsible for delivery failures, delays, or issues caused by third-party telecommunications providers.

8. VPN, Proxy & Location Integrity

To maintain platform safety and compliance:

  • Users should not use VPNs, proxies, or location-masking services when accessing Wigiwork.
  • These connections may trigger additional verification or lead to restricted access.
  • Wigiwork may determine or adjust a user's apparent location based on internal safety and compliance measures.

This ensures:

  • anonymity integrity
  • fraud-prevention
  • conflict-of-interest protections
  • sanctions and regulatory compliance
  • hiding from specific companies works correctly

Wigiwork does not disclose geo-detection methods.

Use of VPNs, proxies, or location-masking tools may result in restricted access, additional verification, or suspension.

9. Email Integrity & Authenticity

To maintain trust and improve verification:

  • Real, verifiable email addresses are required.
  • Public email domains (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) are allowed.
  • Using a company email increases trust and may improve verification outcomes.
  • Disposable or suspicious emails may lead to limited access or verification requirements.

Wigiwork may require email verification at any time.

Wigiwork is not responsible for access limitations resulting from unverifiable, disposable, or inaccurate email information.

10. Use of Information for Hiring Purposes Only

Employers and recruiters may use candidate information solely for:

  • evaluating candidates for specific roles
  • legitimate hiring workflow steps
  • internal recruitment collaboration (within the same employer)

They may not:

  • resell or sublicense candidate data
  • use data for non-hiring purposes
  • build external talent databases
  • contact candidates outside Wigiwork without permission

Wigiwork is not responsible for any use or misuse of information once it has been accessed or taken outside the platform.

11. Consequences for Violations

Violations of this Notice or any NDA-Safe™ rule may result in:

  • suspension of employer or recruiter access
  • permanent termination
  • organization-wide bans
  • revocation of verification status
  • preservation of logs for evidence
  • civil or criminal legal action
  • claims for damages arising from misuse
  • Wigi-DNA™ tracing investigation
  • reporting to affected parties and authorities

Wigiwork enforces confidentiality to the fullest extent permitted by law and may pursue legal remedies where appropriate.

Wigiwork may take enforcement action without notice where required to protect platform integrity, user safety, or compliance obligations.
