The Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT) has joined more than 100 organizations in calling on the Department of Labor (DOL) to withdraw a proposed rule that would require states to share sensitive unemployment insurance data with the federal government. In a letter addressed to the DOL, the coalition raised concerns about privacy risks and a lack of clarity surrounding the purpose and use of the information. Given the lack of clarity about the scope and purpose of the NPRM as well as the serious risks that it could pose to individual privacy and state agencies, DOL should not move forward with this rule." The coalition argues that without clear explanations from DOL regarding how collected data would be safeguarded or utilized, moving forward could jeopardize both individual privacy and state agency operations. The full text of the letter can be accessed by those interested in further details.
