WayUp, Inc.

WayUp is a recruitment platform focused on connecting U.S. college students and recent graduates with internships and entry-level job opportunities. Job seekers create detailed profiles that include their resumes, educational background, skills, and contact information to be discovered by a wide range of employers, from startups to Fortune 500 companies. The service functions as a marketplace for early-career talent, with millions of student profiles available to hundreds of thousands of businesses looking to hire. While the platform is designed for career advancement, the centralization of personal and professional data, such as contact details, work history, and educational achievements, poses privacy risks. This sensitive information could be a target for data breaches, potentially leading to identity theft, targeted phishing scams, or other forms of fraud. To protect their information, individuals should carefully manage their profile's privacy settings, be selective about the personal details they share, and remove their data from the platform when it is no longer needed.
