What you should know about privacy at Wanderlust Careers


At Wanderlust Careers, Privacy is a cornerstone of our work.

This Privacy Statement applies to all websites owned and operated by Wanderlust Careers, including www.wanderlustcareerstesting.com, and any other websites, pages, features, or content we own or operate and any related Services.

To keep things simple, we use the same terms here as in our Terms of Service. We’ll let you know in this Privacy Statement if we have a new or different definition for a term. You should read our entire Privacy Statement, but if you only have a few minutes you can take a look at this privacy summary.

The information Wanderlust Careers collects

We try not to speak in legalese, but there are some useful definitions we use to describe data we collect in providing the Services to you.

When we say Personal Information, we use this as a general term to refer to the different data categories we describe in this section that either personally identify you or are about you. Your Personal Information can be either

  • Individual-level Information: information about a single individual, such as their name, email address, or other traits or characteristics.

  • De-identified Information: information that has been stripped of identifying data, such as name and contact information, so that an individual cannot reasonably be identified.

Here are the types of Personal Information we collect:

  • Registration Information: information you provide during account registration or when purchasing the Services, such as a name, user ID, password, billing address, payment information (e.g., credit card), account authentication information, or contact information (e.g., email, phone number).

  • Results Information: information regarding your interests (e.g., top interest areas), personality (e.g., your MBTI personality type), etc. Results Information includes the data and reports provided to you as part of our Services.

  • Self-Reported Information:​ information you provide to Wanderlust Careers including your gender, health-related information, history, or anything else you provide to us within our Service(s).

  • User Content: information, data, text, software, music, audio, photographs, graphics, video, messages, or other materials, other than Results Information and Self-Reported Information, generated by users of Wanderlust Careers Services and transmitted, whether publicly or privately, to or through Wanderlust Careers. For example, User Content includes comments posted on our Blog or messages you send through our Services.

  • Web-Behavior Information: information on how you use our Services or about the way your devices use our Services is collected through log files, cookies, web beacons, and similar technologies (e.g., device information, device identifiers, IP address, browser type, location, domains, page views).

Aggregate Information is different from Personal Information

Aggregate Information is not Personal Information because Aggregate Information does not contain information about, nor can it reasonably be linked to, a specific individual. Aggregate Information is information about a group of people, such as an analysis or evaluation of a group. Aggregate Information describes the group as a whole in such a way that no specific individual may be reasonably identified. For example, the number of Wanderlust Careers customers with a specific variant or health condition is Aggregate Information.

How we collect information

  • You: We collect information you provide to us when you request or purchase Services or information from us, register with us (including when you link your account on a third-party site or platform with your Wanderlust Careers account, such as via Google or Apple), participate in forums or other activities on our sites, features, and applications, respond to surveys, visit our physical properties, or otherwise interact with us using one or more devices. You may provide information in a variety of ways, including by typing or using voice commands.

  • Service Providers: We may collect information through service providers who use a variety of technologies and tools, such as cookies, analytics tools, software development kits, application program interfaces, web beacons, pixels, and tags when you visit, use or interact with our Services.

  • Other Third Parties: We may receive information about you from other users, individuals, our corporate affiliates, or other third parties. For example, if someone gifts you a Career Assessment or Subscription, invites you to view their Wanderlust Careers Report, or otherwise refers you to Wanderlust Careers, we may collect information about you.

For example, we use your Results Information to predict certain career choices that would be highly satisfying, or we may infer your location (such as city, state, and country) based on your IP address.

Please make such choices carefully and review the privacy policies of all other third parties involved.

Commonly owned entities, affiliates and change of ownership: If we are involved in a bankruptcy, merger, acquisition, reorganization, or sale of assets, your Personal Information may be accessed, sold or transferred as part of that transaction and this Privacy Statement will apply to your Personal Information as transferred to the new entity.

If we are compelled to disclose your Personal Information to law enforcement, we will try our best to provide you with prior notice, unless we are prohibited from doing so under the law.

Wanderlust Careers will preserve and disclose any and all information if required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal or regulatory process (such as a judicial proceeding, court order, or government inquiry) or obligations that Wanderlust Careers may owe pursuant to ethical and other professional rules, laws, and regulations; (b) enforce the Wanderlust Careers Terms of Service and other policies; (c) respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; or (d) protect the rights, property, or personal safety of Wanderlust Careers, its employees, officers, directors, contractors or other personnel, its users, and the public.
