unless disclosed to employees and applicants this seems like de facto colluding.

I always ask myself, as to the legality or ethics, would this survive review by a jury of my peers...

You think it is more ethical for wage data to be kept secret? Why? Rarely is requiring secrecy the more ethical option.
What would be the least ethical would be keeping it secret to one party and having the other party sharing data... Oh wait!
Glassdoor exists.
>Glassdoor exists.

you are not allowed to tell anyone how much you make so you might be in trouble if your found out but the companies share this info without your consent. From my POV make it all transparent.

I have had a career spanning over 30 years at this point. I've worked in businesses with 6 employees and F500 corporations. No one has ever told me that I can't tell anyone else how much I make.
So... Pave shouldn't exists as "Glassdoor exists" and is already providing data?
Eh? Glassdoor is for the other party, which you were implying was being kept in the dark.
If Glassdoor data are sufficient, why would employers pay for Pave?

It's not like Glassdoor is restricted to employees, they even offer specific services to employers.

I never said that.
