Who we are

Worqly is a UK-based digital service providing tools to support job seekers, including application assistance, job tracking, and AI-powered features.

How we use your data

We use your data to:

• Provide and operate the Worqly platform

Lawful basis for processing

We process your personal data in line with UK data protection laws. This includes using your data to provide our services, improve the platform, comply with legal obligations, and, where applicable, based on your consent (such as for analytics cookies).

AI and automated processing

Worqly provides AI-powered features to assist with job applications and preparation.

Relevant profile and saved job information may be processed in order to generate tailored AI-assisted responses and application content.

• AI outputs are generated based on your inputs and stored profile data
• These tools are designed to assist you, not make decisions on your behalf
• Worqly does not carry out automated decision-making that produces legal or similarly significant effects under UK GDPR

You remain fully responsible for reviewing and using any generated content.

We do not sell your personal data.

We may share your data with trusted third-party service providers who support the operation of our platform. These include:

• Payment processing providers for handling subscription payments and billing
• Artificial intelligence and machine learning service providers for generating AI-assisted responses and content
• Data retrieval and enrichment services for accessing publicly available job and company information

These providers process personal data either on our behalf as data processors or as independent data controllers, depending on the nature of the service provided.

International data transfers

Some of our service providers may process data outside the UK.

Where this happens, we ensure appropriate safeguards are in place, such as:

• Standard contractual clauses
• Provider compliance frameworks
