Limits how employers can collect and use worker data, and requires them to disclose it.

This bill would stop employers from collecting certain personal data about workers and require them to be open about what data they do collect. It would also give workers the right to see and correct their data. This affects most private sector workers and job applicants, as well as many government employees.

What Would Change

Today, employers often have broad discretion to collect and use worker data. There are varying levels of transparency and few federal limits on how that data is handled. After this bill, employers would face strict federal limits on what data they can collect and how they can use it. They would also have to be transparent about all data collection. Workers would gain specific rights to access, correct, and control their personal and workplace data.

Key Provisions

Bans employers from collecting worker data related to union activities, political views, health status (if unrelated to job), or off-duty activities.
Requires employers to tell workers exactly what data they collect, how it's used, and who has access to it.
Gives workers the right to see their collected data and correct any mistakes.
Bans employers from selling worker data or sharing it with most outside companies. Sharing data with service providers would require worker consent and security.
Creates a new division within the Department of Labor to oversee these rules and investigate complaints.
Allows workers and labor organizations to sue employers who violate these new privacy rules.
