Your Privacy Rights

Effective Date:

Wigiwork is committed to protecting your privacy and providing clear ways to exercise your rights over your personal data.
Depending on where you live, you may have specific rights under global privacy laws (GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA/CPRA, PDPA, PIPEDA, and others).

These rights are subject to verification, legal limitations, and applicable regulatory requirements.

This page explains those rights in a clear, straightforward way.

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 holds about you.

1.2 Right to Correction

You may request correction of inaccurate or incomplete information.

1.3 Right to Deletion (Right to Be Forgotten)

You may request account deletion at any time through your dashboard.

When deletion is requested:

  • the account enters a 30-day deletion period;
  • Wigiwork-controlled employer access ends immediately;
  • identity access and associated permissions are removed;
  • logging back in during the 30-day period may reactivate the account.

After 30 days, your account is permanently deleted or irreversibly anonymized and cannot be restored, subject to legal, regulatory, fraud-prevention, tax, payment, audit, and compliance obligations.

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 interest, subject to Wigiwork's lawful grounds for continued processing, including security, fraud prevention, compliance requirements, and platform integrity.

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 (e.g., cookies, optional settings), you may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of prior processing.

1.8 Automated Decision Rights

Wigiwork does not make final hiring decisions and does not use Wigiwork-controlled direct identity fields, such as name, contact details, real photo, or identity documents, for ranking, matching, or recommendations. Where automated systems affect visibility, ranking, matching, recommendations, Profile Strength, or platform experience, you may request human review or an explanation where required by applicable law.

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

If you reside in California or another U.S. privacy-state, 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;
  • 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 Legal Compliance

Wigiwork does not sell personal data to third parties for advertising or unrelated commercial purposes.

Certain data uses may be classified as “sharing” under applicable law.

You can opt out via:

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.

3. How to Exercise Your Rights

To make a privacy request, contact us at: privacy@wigiwork.com

We may need to verify your identity and authority before processing your request.

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.

Rights requests relating to data received via LinkedIn's Verified API — including deletion and access — will be processed promptly and in accordance with applicable law, platform requirements, and LinkedIn-related deletion obligations. LinkedIn members may also contact LinkedIn directly to withdraw consent, which will trigger deletion of any associated data held by Wigiwork.

4. Verification Process (Required by Law)

To protect your privacy, we may need to verify:

  • your email address,
  • your phone number, or
  • identity or company authorization documents
    (when legally required).

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

5. Authorized Agents (CCPA / CPRA)

If you want someone else to make a request on your behalf, you must provide:

  • written authorization, and
  • verifiable proof of identity.

This prevents unauthorized or fraudulent requests and protects user identity and data.

6. Appeals (GDPR / Global Requirement)

If your request is denied, you may request an internal review by emailing privacy@wigiwork.com.
We will review the decision and respond in accordance with applicable law and internal compliance procedures.

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 user data in the European Union, including AWS data centers in France and Germany. Limited access or processing from other regions may occur for support, engineering, security, fraud prevention, payment processing, or compliance purposes, subject to appropriate safeguards such as Standard Contractual Clauses, the UK IDTA or UK Addendum, Swiss transfer safeguards, transfer impact assessments, and supplementary measures where required.

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 effective date.

Wigiwork may limit or deny requests where permitted by law, including where requests are excessive, unfounded, repetitive, or conflict with legal, security, fraud-prevention, or compliance obligations.
