The Work Number collects payroll information from employers without informing employees that they turn around and sell that information to third parties. They mislead people by saying they don't release pay information without employee authorization while neglecting to mention they sell everything else without asking permission or giving notification.

It looks like you're doing similar kinds of data collection directly from employers. If an employee doesn't request income verification or any other service from you folks, do you collect any data on that employee?

Can we force them not to collect this info via the recently passed CCPA in California?

wl, you summarized pretty well how it works indeed :-). A lot of players in the industry hides behind long legal documents.

In our case we get employee information from your employer but it’s never shared to third-parties by default. We always go through the process of notification to the employee before releasing any data and, as an employee, you can refuse to share that data. The requester is in a holding pattern until you consent to data sharing.

Hope that helps

Ultimately the purpose of your enterprise to help employers collude to suppress wages. Please shut it down and disappear. Otherwise I hope you die toiling in poverty.
