Your Privacy Rights

Last updated:

This document is part of the Wigiwork Legal & Trust Center. View all policies.

Wigiwork is committed to protecting your privacy and providing clear ways to exercise rights over your personal data.

Depending on where you live, you may have rights under applicable privacy laws, including the GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PDPA, PIPEDA, and other regional privacy laws.

Applicable privacy rights also cover people contacted through Wigiwork outreach who have not registered. You do not need an account to exercise them. Verification and any limitations are applied only where permitted by law. No more emails like this works without registration or sign-in.

1. Your Rights Under GDPR, UK GDPR, and Global Privacy Regulations

If you are located in the European Union, United Kingdom, or any region with similar protections, you may request the following:

1.1 Right to Access

You may request a copy of the personal data Wigiwork processes about you and applicable information about its purposes, recipients, and retention. Where information was obtained from another source, you may request any available information about that source.

1.2 Right to Correction

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

You may also report a Wigi Highlight that you believe is inaccurate, outdated, confidential, or unintentionally identifying. Wigiwork may review, correct, regenerate, or replace the output. Reporting does not create a permanent option to disable Wigi Highlights.

1.3 Account Closure and Deletion

Candidates and employers may request account deletion at any time. You may request deletion of your personal data where applicable law provides that right, including if you have not registered. Account closure follows the separate process below.

After the user confirms the request through the emailed confirmation link, the account enters a 30-day deletion-pending period. During this period, the relevant profile or account presence is hidden where applicable, and account activity is paused.

Logging in during the 30-day period cancels the pending deletion and reactivates the account.

If the user does not log in before the stated deletion date, the account is permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymized at the end of the 30-day period and cannot be restored, except for limited information retained where reasonably necessary for legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention, security, tax, payment, audit, dispute-resolution, backup, or compliance purposes.

Where an account-deletion request qualifies as an exercise of a statutory right to erasure, Wigiwork will take the required action and provide the required response without undue delay and within the timeframes required by applicable law.

1.4 Right to Restrict Processing

You may ask Wigiwork to limit how your data is used under certain conditions.

1.5 Right to Object

You may object to processing based on legitimate interests.

If your objection concerns Public Discoverability, Wigiwork will turn it off and exclude your profile from logged-out Discovery, public search, supported external indexing and discovery, and all future Wigiwork outreach. This does not place your profile Offline, change your selected company visibility mode, revoke existing Profile Access, or revoke External Private Share Links you created.

Wigiwork will honour objections to direct marketing, including related profiling. You may select No more emails like this or contact privacy@wigiwork.com. The link works without registration or sign-in and stops future outreach to that address across all Wigiwork outreach programs. Normal account and chat notifications remain separate. Minimum suppression information may remain to honour the request.

For other legitimate-interest processing, Wigiwork will consider the objection and stop or restrict the relevant processing unless applicable law permits continued processing for compelling legitimate grounds or another lawful reason.

1.6 Right to Data Portability

You may request your personal data in a structured, commonly used, machine-readable format.

1.7 Right to Withdraw Consent

Where processing is based on consent, including non-essential analytics, session replay, cookies, or optional consent-based settings, you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting processing previously carried out lawfully.

Withdrawing consent stops future processing covered by that consent. It does not automatically delete your account or change Public Discoverability, which is controlled separately through Visibility → Discoverability settings.

Accepting an outreach invitation authorizes the relevant company-specific profile sharing; it does not opt you into future marketing emails. You may manage or revoke shared access through Discovery or contact support about a pending share. These controls are separate from withdrawing consent to other processing.

1.8 Automated Decision Rights

Automated processing supports visibility, ranking, professional matching, recommendations, Wigi Highlights, Profile Strength, and other platform features. It can affect which jobs and profiles are presented.

For job-specific outreach, the completed profile must meet the role requirements before the initial share. An outreach invitation without a linked job does not require a further suitability check after onboarding.

Employers make final hiring decisions. You may request human review of an inaccurate matching result through support@wigiwork.com. Where applicable law provides automated-processing rights, you may also request information, correction, restriction, objection, contestation, explanation, or human review through privacy@wigiwork.com.

Wigiwork-controlled direct identity fields, including names, contact details, real photos, and identity documents, are not intentionally used as ranking, matching, or recommendation factors.

2. Your Rights Under CCPA & CPRA (California Privacy Laws)

If you reside in California or another U.S. state with applicable privacy rights, you may have these rights:

2.1 Right to Know

You may request:

  • what personal information we collect;
  • why we collect it;
  • the categories of sources;
  • the categories of third parties we share data with; and
  • a copy of your information.

2.2 Right to Delete

You may request deletion of your personal data, subject to certain legal exceptions.

2.3 Right to Correct

You may request correction of inaccurate information.

2.4 Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information

Wigiwork does not currently sell personal information or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising, as those terms are defined under applicable privacy law.

If this changes, Wigiwork will update its disclosures and provide the legally required opt-out controls before the relevant activity begins.

You may exercise applicable privacy choices through Wigiwork's privacy controls or Cookie Settings, or by contacting privacy@wigiwork.com.

2.5 Right to Non-Discrimination

Wigiwork will not treat you differently for exercising your rights.

Where applicable, you may also have the right to limit the use or disclosure of sensitive personal information, subject to legal exceptions and uses necessary for security, verification, fraud prevention, compliance, and platform operation.

Wigiwork's current appointed regulatory representative details are available on the Regulatory Representatives page.

3. How to Exercise Your Rights

You can request a free account-data download through your account settings. For additional personal data or other privacy requests, contact privacy@wigiwork.com.

Other privacy requests may require proportionate verification of your identity or authority. Registration is not required.

We respond within legally required timeframes, which may vary by jurisdiction. Under GDPR/UK GDPR, this is generally within one month, extendable where permitted by law for complex or multiple requests.

Requests may be limited, delayed, or denied where permitted by applicable law.

4. Verification Process

Wigiwork requests verification only where reasonably necessary to protect personal information and process the request securely. Checks are proportionate to the information involved and the risk of disclosing it.

Verification may involve confirming an email address or providing other reasonably necessary information. Identity or authorization documents are requested only where reasonably necessary and permitted by law.

No more emails like this does not require registration, sign-in, or identity documents.

5. Requests Through an Authorized Person

You may authorize another person to submit a privacy request on your behalf.

To protect your information, Wigiwork may require:

  • proof that the person is authorized;
  • verification of your identity; and
  • direct confirmation from you where reasonably necessary.

6. Appeals and Complaints

You may raise a privacy concern or request an internal review of a privacy-request decision by emailing privacy@wigiwork.com.

We will review your concern or request and respond in accordance with applicable law.

You may also have the right to lodge a complaint with your local data-protection authority, privacy regulator, or supervisory authority, depending on your location.

7. International Users & Transfers

Wigiwork stores primary user data in the European Union. Limited access or processing from other regions may occur for support, engineering, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, compliance, and other authorized operational purposes.

Where international processing requires a transfer mechanism or other safeguard, Wigiwork applies the protections required by applicable law. The specific mechanism may vary according to the destination, provider, processing activity, and applicable legal requirements.

8. Updates to This Rights Notice

We may update this notice to reflect legal, regulatory, operational, or privacy-related changes.

Updated versions will be published here with a revised Last Updated date.

Where required by applicable law, Wigiwork will notify affected individuals of new processing purposes or other material changes before the relevant processing begins.
