INTRODUCTION
This Privacy Policy explains in comprehensive detail how WiserHunt Inc. (“WiserHunt”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) collects, uses, processes, stores, discloses, and safeguards personal information relating to individuals who interact with us in any capacity, including visitors to our website, job applicants, candidates, contractors, clients, business partners, and any other individuals whose personal data is processed by us during the course of delivering our services. As a global staffing, workforce, and recruitment solutions provider, we operate across multiple jurisdictions and handle information that falls under several national and international data protection frameworks. This Policy has therefore been drafted to exceed minimum legal compliance requirements and to provide maximum transparency about our data-handling practices.
Your use of our website, platforms, services, or communication channels signifies your understanding of this Policy. If at any time you do not agree with the terms contained herein, you must discontinue use of our website and services. For any inquiries or requests regarding this Policy, you may contact us at info@wiserhunt.com.
SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
This Policy applies to all personal information collected by WiserHunt through our websites, applicant tracking systems, recruitment portals, communication channels, contract onboarding processes, client engagements, background screening processes, and business operations. It also applies to personal information collected from public sources, professional networks, job boards, referral partners, and third-party service providers. This Policy does not apply to third-party websites that may be linked from our website, nor does it govern the privacy practices of our clients, partners, or independent platforms not owned or operated by WiserHunt.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
WiserHunt processes personal information under multiple legal bases depending on the jurisdiction and nature of the processing. Under U.S. federal and state privacy laws, our processing activities are grounded in legitimate business purposes related to recruitment, workforce solutions, client servicing, compliance, fraud prevention, and operational requirements. Under the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR), Canada’s PIPEDA, India’s DPDP Act, and other global privacy laws, we rely on one or more of the following lawful bases: the performance of a contract or the intention to enter into a contract, compliance with legal obligations, legitimate interests pursued by WiserHunt or our clients, consent (when expressly required and obtained), protection of vital interests, and other lawful grounds recognized by applicable legislation.
In situations where consent is required—for example, for certain background checks, optional cookies, marketing communications, or the processing of specific categories of sensitive personal information—we will request it explicitly. You have the right to withdraw consent at any time by contacting us at info@wiserhunt.com, subject to any limitations imposed by law or ongoing contractual obligations.
INFORMATION WE COLLECT
WiserHunt collects various categories of personal information to conduct recruitment, staffing, workforce management, client engagement, and business administration. We collect information either directly from you, automatically through your use of our website, or indirectly from legitimate third-party sources such as job boards, professional networks, publicly available profiles, background check providers, and client referrals. This information may include your name, contact information, address, experience, education, skills, references, work authorization details, demographic data (if voluntarily provided), and any other information relevant to employment or contracting. When required for compliance, we may collect sensitive information such as government IDs, criminal history (where permitted), disability-related information (for accommodations), and other legally necessary data. We also collect technical data, including IP address, device identifiers, browser type, geolocation, referring URLs, page interactions, and session logs through cookies and analytics technologies.
HOW AND WHY WE COLLECT INFORMATION
WiserHunt collects personal information to fulfill legitimate recruitment and business functions. When you submit a resume, apply for a job, create a profile, send us an email, participate in an interview, or otherwise engage with us, you provide information voluntarily. When you browse our website or interact with our digital infrastructure, technical information is collected automatically through cookies and analytics tools. When we source candidate information from job boards, social networks, or referrals, we do so based on legitimate interest, consistent with the expectations of individuals seeking employment opportunities. In such cases, we may reach out to confirm accuracy, relevance, and consent where required by law.
HOW WE USE PERSONAL INFORMATION
WiserHunt uses personal information to evaluate candidate qualifications, match applicants with job opportunities, communicate regarding recruitment activities, submit profiles to clients, onboard new hires, conduct background checks, and comply with employment and labor regulations. Additionally, we use data to maintain secure systems, improve our website, conduct analytics, fulfill client contracts, maintain business operations, and safeguard our legal interests.
We do not sell personal information. Any marketing communication is sent in compliance with applicable law and may be opted out of at any time.
DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION
To perform staffing and workforce services, we may disclose your information to clients, prospective employers, service providers such as background check vendors, cloud hosting providers, assessment partners, attorneys, accountants, or other entities contracted to support our operations. All third parties receiving data are obligated to maintain confidentiality and adopt adequate security measures.
We may also disclose information when required by law, regulatory authorities, or court orders. In corporate restructuring events such as mergers or acquisitions, information may be transferred under appropriate safeguards.
INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
Because WiserHunt operates globally, personal information may be transferred to or processed in countries outside your home jurisdiction. When such transfers occur, we use Standard Contractual Clauses, data transfer agreements, and other legal safeguards to ensure protection equivalent to the originating jurisdiction.
DATA RETENTION
We retain personal information only for as long as necessary for legitimate business, legal, and operational purposes. Candidate information may be retained for several years after the last contact to allow for future opportunities. Client and vendor data may be retained for compliance and audit purposes. You may request deletion at any time, subject to legal allowances.
YOUR PRIVACY RIGHTS
Depending on your jurisdiction, you may have rights to access, correct, delete, restrict, or object to the processing of your personal information, as well as the right to data portability and the right to withdraw consent. You may submit any privacy rights request to info@wiserhunt.com.
SECURITY MEASURES
We implement administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect personal information, including encryption, secure servers, restricted access, system monitoring, and employee training. No system is completely secure; however, we maintain industry-standard protections to minimize risks.
CHILDREN’S PRIVACY
We do not knowingly collect personal information about individuals under sixteen years of age. If such data is discovered, we will promptly delete it.
COMMUNICATIONS & SMS
By providing contact information, you may receive job alerts, interview reminders, onboarding notifications, or compliance updates. You may opt out at any time by replying STOP or emailing info@wiserhunt.com.
THIRD-PARTY LINKS
Our website may contain links to external sites not governed by this Policy. We recommend reviewing third-party privacy policies before sharing personal information.
