Limit the Use of My Sensitive Personal Information

Under the California Consumer Privacy Act and California Privacy Rights Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.121), California residents have the right to direct a business to limit its use of sensitive personal information (SPI) to specific permitted purposes. This page explains your right and how to exercise it.

What counts as Sensitive Personal Information

Under Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.140(ae), Sensitive Personal Information includes information that reveals:

Social security number, driver's license, state identification card, or passport number
Account log-in credentials, financial account information with required security or access codes
Precise geolocation
Racial or ethnic origin, religious or philosophical beliefs, or union membership
Contents of mail, email, and text messages, unless the business is the intended recipient
Genetic data and biometric information
Information concerning health
Information concerning sex life or sexual orientation

Why this matters on Wiser Workplace

Workplace concerns submitted through Wiser Workplace often contain SPI. A discrimination concern by definition references protected characteristics (race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, disability, national origin, age, etc.). A retaliation concern may describe whistleblower activity. A wage concern may include account information. We treat the entirety of any concern submission as potentially containing SPI and apply the highest level of confidentiality protection by default.

How we use SPI by default. Wiser Workplace uses SPI only for the purposes you submitted it: routing the concern to your employer, allowing the employer to respond, providing customer support if you ask for it, and complying with legal obligations. We do not use SPI to infer characteristics about you, do not use SPI for advertising or marketing, and do not sell or share SPI as those terms are defined under California law.

Exercise your limit-use right

You can submit a verifiable consumer request to limit our use of your SPI. We will honor the request within the timeframes required by California law (generally within 15 business days of receipt for the limit-use right itself; up to 45 calendar days for related access, deletion, or correction requests).
