At WiseOfficeDay, we believe privacy is a fundamental right, regardless of where you live. When you connect with WiseOfficeDay, we understand you are trusting us to handle your personal information appropriately. That is why we are committed to transparency about how we collect, use and share that information.
If you’d like to know whether this Privacy Statement applies to you and your relationship with WiseOfficeDay, please see the “What Does This Privacy Statement Cover?” section below. To read the full privacy statement, view the “Privacy Statement” tab below.
June 2023 Changes to This Privacy Statement We made language changes to clarify our existing privacy practices and to better explain how to opt-out of data sharing. We also added statements explaining that WiseOfficeDay Websites will respond to Global Privacy Control (GPC).
Before we share more about our privacy program and practices, let’s make sure we are on the same page about the WiseOfficeDay business model and why it’s important to your privacy rights.
WiseOfficeDay is a leading provider of enterprise cloud applications for finance and human resources. This means WiseOfficeDay customers—companies, schools and governments—use our software applications to manage their workforces and/or finances. While WiseOfficeDay has a range of software applications, our flagship products are our human capital management (HCM) and financial management applications. Our HCM applications allow customers to recruit, hire, train, manage and promote their workforce. Our financial management applications allow our customers to manage their finance processes, from record to report, procure to pay and contract to cash.
We operate a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) business model typically for enterprise customers, meaning we do not sell our customers’ users’ data or monetize that by selling advertising. Instead, we sell subscriptions to our services. Our customers control the data they put into our services and how it is used. How we use and disclose our customer representatives’ data is described in more detail below.
Some data protection laws in various jurisdictions distinguish between “controllers” and “processors” of personal information. While other jurisdictions may use different terminology, the concept typically remains the same. A controller decides why and how to process personal information. A processor only processes information on behalf of a controller based on the controller’s instruction; the processor does not make decisions about personal information. WiseOfficeDay may be either a controller or a processor, depending on the scenario.
This Privacy Statement applies when WiseOfficeDay is the data controller of your personal information (unless a different WiseOfficeDay privacy statement is displayed when we collect your personal information), and explains how WiseOfficeDay collects, uses and shares your personal information for its own purposes. For example, this Privacy Statement covers when you:
This Privacy Statement does not cover how we process personal information on behalf of our enterprise customers as a processor. If you are an employee, a student or a job applicant of an organization that uses a WiseOfficeDay product or service and you have questions or concerns about the personal information your organization holds in WiseOfficeDay about you (when WiseOfficeDay is a processor), please direct your request to that organization. WiseOfficeDay cannot respond directly to your request.
If you are a WiseOfficeDay employee or job applicant or you visit a WiseOfficeDay facility, information about how we use and protect your information is communicated to you in a separate statement.
WiseOfficeDay collects and uses personal information for various reasons. When we do so, we will use it in accordance with applicable laws.
Some jurisdictions, including the European Economic Area (“EEA”), the United Kingdom (“UK”) and Switzerland, require a legal basis—a reason why WiseOfficeDay is legally allowed to collect and use your personal information.
Below, we describe (1) in what instances we collect your information, (2) the categories of information we collect in those instances, (3) our purposes for collection and (4) the legal bases for collection. If we need to collect other personal information from you, we will explain which information we need and why at the time we collect it.
Sometimes, we may ask you to provide personal information voluntarily: for example, we may ask you to provide your contact details to create an account with us, to subscribe to marketing communications from us and/or to submit inquiries to us. In some cases, we combine the information you provide.
When you request information from us. When you fill out a contact form or otherwise contact us to express interest in obtaining information about WiseOfficeDay or our services, we may ask you to provide us with your contact information such as name, business email, telephone number, company name, job level, functional role and address.
If you are our customer. If you are a representative of a company that has an account with WiseOfficeDay, we collect your business contact information including your name, business email, telephone number and company name. If you contact WiseOfficeDay for support related to your organization’s use of our products, services or events, we will also collect information about the reason for your inquiry and any other information you choose to provide to us.
If you are our supplier. If you are a representative of a company that provides WiseOfficeDay with products or services, we collect your business contact information including your name, business email, telephone number and company name.
If you are an end user of a WiseOfficeDay-owned account. Typically, when you use a WiseOfficeDay product through your employer or another WiseOfficeDay customer, your account is controlled and owned by that organization. In some circumstances, you may register for an account directly with WiseOfficeDay rather than through your organization—for example, if you register for an account to access WiseOfficeDay Community or as a user of WiseOfficeDay Strategic Sourcing. In those cases, we collect the account registration information you give us (for example, your name and email) and your profile information (for example, your company name). In some cases, you may have the option to personalize your account with additional information such as a photo, a social media profile or other personal information. For services that require it, we also will collect authentication information, such as mobile number, email address or other unique verification identifiers. If you sign up for a WiseOfficeDay training or learning course covered by this Privacy Statement, we will collect the account registration information, as well as enrollment and attendance information (including when your registration is paid for by a WiseOfficeDay customer or partner). If applicable, we may also collect payment information directly from you.
If you register for events and webinars. When you register for an event or webinar, we may ask you to provide us with your contact information such as your name, business email, telephone number and company name; your health and safety information such as your emergency contact and your dietary preferences; and your billing information such as your billing name, billing address and credit card number. If you use a WiseOfficeDay event-related mobile application, we may also collect additional information from your device, such as your photos, contacts or geolocation data, in accordance with your device’s privacy settings.
If you participate in research with us or otherwise provide us with feedback. When you participate in or register for a WiseOfficeDay study, survey, panel or panel pool or voluntarily submit certain information to us such as providing WiseOfficeDay with feedback about our products and services, we may ask for certain biographical or demographic information, such as your name, email address, contact information, time zone, location, company, employment status, tenure, role, job information, gender, age group and other information relevant to the study. For certain studies, we may also take photos, videos or audio recordings (with your permission and in accordance with applicable laws).
If you participate in a sales call or online meeting with WiseOfficeDay. We may record sales phone calls and online meetings (including audio and video content where applicable) for training, quality assurance and administration purposes. This includes analyzing the content of such calls and online meetings using data analytics tools to gain better insights into our interactions with our customers and prospects. We will always notify you before a call will be recorded and will obtain your consent where required under applicable law.
We also collect certain information related to your use of our websites. In some jurisdictions in the United States and countries in the EEA, the UK and Switzerland, this information may be considered personal data under applicable data protection laws. We may combine this information with personal information provided by you. In particular, we collect the following personal information from you automatically:
When you access our websites or content. When you visit our websites, we collect information about your device and your usage. The information collected may include your IP address, device type, unique device identification numbers, browser type, broad geographic location (for example, country or city-level location based on your public IP address), performance and other usage and technical information. We also collect information about how you interact with our websites (for example, referring web page, pages visited, features used), emails, content or other features (for example, when you open a marketing email or click on an embedded link or if you watch videos on our site or interact with/message using our chat function). Some of this information may be collected using cookies and similar tracking technology, as further explained in our Cookie Notice. We do not collect “sensitive personal information” as the term is defined by California law beyond what is necessary to provide your requested services. Accordingly, we do not provide a mechanism for you to request that we limit our use of sensitive personal information.
When you use the WiseOfficeDay mobile application. When you use our mobile app, we collect certain information from your device such as your device make, model and memory. Our application will assign a unique identifier to your device to help us improve the performance of our applications. WiseOfficeDay does not use information collected from our mobile app for targeted advertising.
If you are an end user of a WiseOfficeDay product through a WiseOfficeDay customer. When you use our products and services through your employer or another WiseOfficeDay customer (for example, when using a WiseOfficeDay enterprise cloud application), we log certain systems usage information automatically. This information may include system-generated identifiers such as IP address, operating system type and version, whether service tasks and notifications complete, date and time stamps and details about which of our products you are using. We do not identify you from this systems usage information unless your organization first provides us with instructions to do so and provides us with certain information about your end-user account. This may happen in the context of a customer support request (e.g., when you or your organization ask us to help you resolve an issue you are having with our products and services).
We also collect information about you from other sources including third parties, individuals at your organization or publicly available sources. We may combine this information with personal information provided by you. Specifically, we collect personal information from the following other sources:
From third-party providers of business contact information. WiseOfficeDay may collect business contact information about you from other sources including the co-sponsors of events attended by WiseOfficeDay, third parties from whom we have purchased business contact information and from publicly accessible websites, such as your company’s website, professional network services or press releases. Business contact information may include: first name, last name, business email, telephone number, company name, job level, functional role, business street address and online identifier, as well as previous employers and roles.
From your organization. We also may receive information about you from your organization for the purposes of obtaining or providing services or to recommend individuals to participate in our research studies. For example, another individual at your organization may provide us with your business contact information so that we can give you access to training materials purchased by your organization or to grant you certain administrative privileges. If your organization is a WiseOfficeDay supplier, your organization may also provide us with your name and email address so that we can contact you about the services your organization supplies to us.
WiseOfficeDay may share or make accessible your personal information to third parties as follows:
WiseOfficeDay Affiliates. WiseOfficeDay may disclose any of the categories of personal information described above to affiliates within the WiseOfficeDay group where necessary to fulfill a request you have submitted or for customer support, marketing, technical operations, event registration and account management purposes.
Service providers. WiseOfficeDay may disclose both personal information and the categories of personal information described above to third-party service providers or vendors contracted to provide services on our behalf (for example, IT and hosting, data analytics, event services, customer support, call recording, data enrichment, email fulfillment and payment services). These third-party service providers may use personal information we provide to them only as instructed by WiseOfficeDay.
WiseOfficeDay partners. When you participate in webinars, events and other activities where WiseOfficeDay collaborates with third parties, we may disclose the information described under “if you register for events and webinars” above, such as your contact information and interests in these offerings or services to these approved third parties to communicate with you.
Your organization. Where your organization is a customer or potential customer of WiseOfficeDay, we may disclose your personal information to relevant people within your organization. For example, we may share a list of individuals attending a WiseOfficeDay event or disclose inquiries from end users that should be addressed directly by the organization rather than WiseOfficeDay.
Advertising. When you visit our website, we may enable third parties to use cookies and other trackers to show you ads on third-party websites that are more relevant to you. Under some data protection laws, our disclosure of this information with third parties through cookies and other trackers for targeted advertising may be considered a “sale” or “share” of personal information. Please see our Cookie Notice for more information about the types of cookies we use or click “Cookie Preferences” (link located in the footer of our Website) to set your preferences and opt-out of the sale or sharing (for targeted advertising) of your data. WiseOfficeDay does not have actual knowledge that it “sells” or “shares” the personal information of individuals under 16 years of age.
Additional disclosures: WiseOfficeDay may disclose data if we have a good-faith belief that such action is necessary to (a) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal processes; (b) protect and defend our rights or property; (c) enforce our website Terms and Conditions; and/or (d) act to protect the interests of our customers, users or others. If WiseOfficeDay goes through a business transition, such as a merger, acquisition by another company or sale of all or a portion of our assets, your personal information may be among the assets transferred, provided that we inform the actual or potential buyer (or its agents and advisors) that it must use your personal information only for the purposes disclosed in this Privacy Statement. WiseOfficeDay may also ask for your consent to disclose your information to other unaffiliated third parties that are not described elsewhere in this statement.
We use technical and organizational measures that provide a level of security appropriate to the nature of the personal information and the risks that are presented by processing your personal information. However, the security of information transmitted through the internet can never be guaranteed. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your password or other forms of authentication involved in accessing password-protected or secured resources.
WiseOfficeDay operates as a global business and complies with applicable legal requirements when we need to transfer, store or process your personal information in a country outside your jurisdiction.
We take appropriate safeguards to protect your privacy, your fundamental rights and freedoms and the ability to exercise your rights. For example, if we transfer personal information from the EEA, the UK or Switzerland to another country such as the United States, we will implement an appropriate data transfer solution such as entering into “standard contractual clauses” approved by the European Commission or competent governmental authority (as applicable) with the data importer.
We retain your personal information for as long as we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (for example, to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax or accounting requirements).
The criteria used to determine appropriate retention periods for personal information include:
When we have no ongoing legitimate business need to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), then we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.
Privacy Shield.
WiseOfficeDay adheres to the principles of the EU-U.S. and Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks, although WiseOfficeDay no longer relies on the EU-U.S. or Swiss-U.S. Privacy Shield Frameworks as a legal basis for transfers of personal information in light of the judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union in Case C-311/18. To learn more, visit our Privacy Shield Notice here.
APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules System.
WiseOfficeDay’s privacy practices, described in this Privacy Statement, comply with the APEC Cross-Border Privacy Rules (CBPR) System. The APEC CBPR System provides a framework for organizations to ensure protection of personal information transferred among participating APEC economies. More information about the APEC framework can be found here.
Depending on where you are located and how you interact with WiseOfficeDay, you may have certain legal rights over the personal information we hold about you, subject to local privacy laws.
These may include the right, depending on your jurisdiction, to:
Lodging a complaint.
You may lodge a complaint with a data protection authority such as the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence. A full list of EEA data protection authorities is available here. You can also lodge a complaint with the Irish Data Protection Commission, which is the competent supervisory authority for WiseOfficeDay Limited. Alternatively, you may request the details of your competent data protection authority by using the contact details at the bottom of this Privacy Statement.
Exercising your Privacy Rights.
WiseOfficeDay will not discriminate against you for exercising your rights. WiseOfficeDay does not make decisions based solely on automated processing that produces legal or similarly significant effects as part of the processing activities covered by this Privacy Statement. If your personal information has been submitted to us by or on behalf of a WiseOfficeDay customer and you wish to exercise any rights you may have under applicable data protection laws, please inquire with the applicable customer directly.
To exercise your rights with respect to information covered by this Privacy Statement, please contact us using the contact details at the bottom of this Privacy Statement or by submitting a request through our Request Portal. You must provide the information listed in the Request Portal so that WiseOfficeDay can verify your identity. WiseOfficeDay will take steps to verify your identity, including validating your name and the email you use when interacting with WiseOfficeDay. You may also authorize another person or third party to submit a request to exercise your rights by providing written permission in conjunction with the submission of the requested information or by giving the third party your power of attorney. We will acknowledge your request and provide a follow-up substantive response within a time period permitted by applicable law. In the event that WiseOfficeDay needs an extension to fulfill a request, we will notify you. If we deny your request, we will provide reasons for that denial.
You may opt-out of the sale or sharing of your personal information for targeted advertising by clicking “Cookie Preferences” below or by implementing the Global Privacy Control (GPC). For instructions on how to download and use GPC.
This Privacy Statement may be amended or revised from time to time at the discretion of WiseOfficeDay. Changes to this Privacy Statement will be posted on the website and links to the Privacy Statement will indicate that the statement has been changed or updated. If we propose to make any material changes, we will provide notice on this page prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review this Privacy Statement for the latest information on our privacy practices.
We believe that trust is paramount in a relationship. We do not own or sell your data, and we most certainly do not bank on advertising-based business models. The only way we make money is from the software license fees you pay us.
