How We Collect Your Information
Most of the Personal Information Wisk obtains about you is collected from your application and resume or curriculum vitae, which is stored on servers located in the United States. We may also collect this type of information from you through other channels and data collected through those channels may be stored on servers in other jurisdictions. We may also collect information about you from third parties (including publicly available sources) in order to:
verify information about your credentials, such as education, qualifications, and prior employment,
follow-up on references that you may provide, and
conduct background investigations.
It is Wisk’s policy to collect such information from third parties only with your knowledge and consent. Should Wisk wish to obtain such third-party information about you, and you have not completed an employment application authorizing us to do so, we will contact you and request your authorization to proceed.
Information That We Collect Automatically
When you visit the Wisk job portal (e.g., Workday site), we may use cookies, browser language setting information, web beacons, tags, and scripts to improve your experience.
Why We can Process Your Personal Information
We will only collect, use, and share your Personal Information when there is an appropriate legal basis to do so. This may be because:
our use of your Personal Information is necessary for our legitimate interest as a commercial organization (for example, our legitimate interests include communicating with you or performing statistical analysis); in these cases we will look after your information at all times in a way that is proportionate and respects your privacy rights and you have a right to object to processing as explained below.
our use of your Personal Information is necessary to perform a contract or take steps to enter into a contract with you, for example where you apply for a job with us;
where necessary to protect the vital interests of you or another person;
our use of your Personal Information is necessary to comply with a relevant legal or regulatory obligation that we have, for example fulfilment of a court order; or
in any other case, where you have voluntarily provided your Personal Information and consent to processing for the relevant purposes as described in this notice.
Where the collection or processing is based on your consent, you may withdraw your consent at any time to the extent permitted by applicable law provided that any revocation of your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing which has already validly occurred.
Who Your Information is Shared With
Access to your information will be restricted to our corporate affiliates and those Wisk employees and service providers under contract to Wisk who have a need to know the specific information in question in order to enable Wisk to carry out its responsibilities with regard to recruitment or employment law.
Personal Information may also be released to external parties as required by labor legislation, agreements, or by legal process, to our professional advisors (including accountants, auditors, and lawyers) as well as to parties to which you have authorized Wisk to release your Personal Information.
Your information may also be disclosed to governmental entities in compliance with applicable law in the United States and other countries, such as to those agencies authorized to review and enforce equal opportunity laws.
In the event of a reorganization, merger, sale, joint venture, assignment, transfer, or other disposition of all or any portion of our business, assets or stock, Wisk is likely to disclose your Personal Information to associated entities and their professional advisors, subject to a requirement that such information be used only in accordance with this notice, or as otherwise permitted under an applicable agreement.
Where Does Your Information Go
Your Personal Information is transferred to and processed in the United States by Wisk and third parties providing services to Wisk, and may also be transferred to other countries if necessary for the application process (e.g., in order to share the data with local hiring managers). Wisk has put in place adequate measures, such as standard contractual clauses, to adequately protect cross-border transfers, and requires all of its agents to abide by applicable privacy and data protection requirements in the jurisdictions in which they operate.
Retention and Deletion of Your Personal Information
Wisk retains your Personal Information only as long as is necessary for evaluation of employment, as well as to comply with applicable laws relating to the evaluation of those seeking employment and/or to defend claims made by them against Wisk. After this time, normally within six years or less, your information is deleted, unless you consent to Wisk retaining your information for a longer period of time.
How we Protect Your Information
Wisk uses appropriate administrative, technical, personnel, and physical measures to safeguard your Personal Information against loss, theft, and unauthorized use or modification. In addition, we exercise special precautions in dealing with sensitive Personal Information. The quality of your Personal Information is assured through technological and administrative controls that mitigate potentially adverse effects on personal rights or interests due to the inaccuracy or incompleteness of Personal Information.
Your Obligations in Connection with Personal Information
For consideration of you as a job applicant, it is important that the Personal Information we hold about you is accurate and current. We ask that you promptly inform us when the Personal Information we hold is inaccurate or changes so appropriate corrections can be made. If you fail to provide certain information when requested we may not be able to contact you or perform a contract we have entered into with you (for example, we may not be able to reimburse you for travel if you do not provide your bank details) or we may be prevented from complying with other legal obligations.
There may also be cases where you provide us with the Personal Information of others, for example when providing professional references. Where this occurs, we ask that you explain to affected individuals that the Personal Information is being collected for these purposes and that you provide them with a copy of this notice, if requested.
Residents in California
Wisk does not sell your Personal Information, share it for the purposes of behavioral advertising, re-identify de-identified Personal Information, or use sensitive Personal Information to "infer characteristics" about you. Additionally, we do not offer substantive financial incentives for the collection or sale of your Personal Information, or use it for the purposes of fully-automated decision making with a legal or similarly significant impact. We process sensitive Personal Information with your consent or as permitted by law. We will also not discriminate against you if you exercise your privacy rights under California law.
