Visibility & Identity Controls

Wigiwork provides anonymous profiles by default.
Candidates control which elements of their professional information are visible.

Personal identifiers—including name, contact details, past employer names, and precise location — are not disclosed to employers unless the candidate explicitly approves access, but Wigiwork does not guarantee that identification is impossible in all circumstances.

WigiPic™ Avatar Visibility & Photo-to-Avatar Generation

Wigiwork may allow candidates to generate a WigiPic™ avatar using a user-uploaded photo.

Any such photo is processed once to create the avatar and is permanently deleted immediately after generation and is not stored by Wigiwork after processing. WigiPics are stylized, symbolic illustrations designed to protect anonymity. They are not likeness tools and are not intended to reflect physical appearance, gender, ethnicity, age, or any other personal or protected characteristic.

Employers and recruiters must not attempt to infer identity or demographic traits from a candidate's avatar. WigiPics are placeholders used solely to support anonymous interaction within the platform.

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

Employers may only view a candidate's full profile after:

• submitting an access request and receiving approval, or
• when the candidate has enabled automatic access for verified employers.

All employer access is time-limited and expires automatically.

Upon expiration, employers must not:

• retain, store, or copy candidate information;
• use candidate information for any further purpose.

Unauthorized retention or use violates NDA-Safe™ obligations and may result in suspension, termination, or legal action.

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

To protect candidate anonymity and avoid conflicts of interest, Wigiwork may automatically restrict visibility of a candidate's profile from certain parties, including where:

• conflicts with past or present employers may exist;
• recruiter-client relationships indicate a risk to candidate anonymity;
• safety, compliance, or privacy concerns are identified.

These protections operate silently and may not be overridden by employers. Wigiwork retains full discretion over how and when such protections are applied.

Wigiwork may also apply internal checks and system controls based on profile data, work history, employer relationships, and user-defined visibility settings to reduce the risk of unintended identification or conflicts.

These measures are designed to improve privacy and safety but do not guarantee that identification is impossible in all circumstances.

Candidates may control additional privacy preferences within their account.

Candidates may restrict visibility to specific companies or individuals. When a restriction is applied, those parties cannot discover or view the candidate's profile under normal platform operation, subject to system limitations and applicable law.

These controls apply across search, discovery, preview displays, and employer tools.

Candidates may optionally enable broader anonymous visibility.
When enabled:

• their anonymous profile may appear on external-facing or extended discovery surfaces;
• personal identity remains fully hidden;
• identity is revealed only when the candidate approves access, subject to system limitations and user actions.

Public discoverability is optional and can be disabled at any time.

Employer accounts include role-based permissions:

Owner

• full control of the employer account;
• manages recruiter users;
• responsible for compliance with all Terms;
• may delete the employer account.

Manager

• may administer recruiter accounts;
• cannot remove or modify the Owner;
• cannot delete the employer account.

User

• limited viewing permissions;
• cannot modify other users or company settings.

The Owner is fully responsible for all activity performed under the employer account, including actions of recruiters, employees, and authorized users.

Candidates may reset their anonymous identity at any time.

When an identity reset occurs:

• the anonymous username and avatar are replaced;
• anonymous user ID is refreshed;
• message history, visibility history, and employer access are cleared;
• any pending or active access permissions are revoked.

Core professional profile information (skills, experience, education, preferences) remains intact.

Identity Reset is permanent and cannot be reversed. Wigiwork is not responsible for any data, access, or interactions lost as a result of identity reset.

After an identity reset:

• Wigiwork does not link the new anonymous identity to the previous one;
• previous employer access is not restored;
• candidates cannot be identified through past activity within normal platform operation, but Wigiwork does not guarantee that identification is impossible in all circumstances.

Job applications submitted under a previous identity remain recorded only for compliance, audit, and fraud-prevention purposes.

Candidates may not reapply for the same role under a new anonymous identity.

Identity Reset may not be used to:

• reapply to previously submitted roles;
• evade employer decisions or platform restrictions;
• circumvent data accuracy expectations;
• manipulate visibility, ranking, or shortlisting;
• create multiple identities for competitive advantage.

Wigiwork may restrict, delay, deny, or revoke identity reset functionality if abuse is suspected.
Repeated violations may result in suspension or account termination.

Users may not:

• attempt to bypass candidate privacy controls;
• improperly request access on behalf of unauthorized companies;
• misuse recruiter accounts to view hidden or restricted profiles;
• attempt to circumvent access expiration or identity reset protections.

Any misuse of visibility or access mechanisms is a material breach of these Terms and may result in suspension, termination, or legal action.
