Is a company allowed to just hand out private information to anyone who asks for it?
 

seems some feel they can handover any info to just anyone that asks for it

want to know more...ill post more once i know the full scoop

just to be fair.

anything is possible, but you could sue them for it

are you referring to data brokers? Seems congress is finally getting interested in this corrupt industry

no one gave out my info...but it seems a big company handed over someone social security number...someone that works for them it seems

I heard AT&T will soon be referring to customer private information as "business documents" so they can hand it over to whoever wants it (well, probably not "anyone", but you get the point).

they only hand it over the FBI etc, to everybody else that wants it they sell it !!!

If you believe everything said on these boards, it's time to shut down the computer.

better read what you may have signed originally, it probably says they share the info with others.:2 cents:

i try to take some on their word

jfk..this thread was not about me :)

we have social insurance numbers

not social security numbers :)

same thing applies:2 cents:

without consent they aren't allowed to hand over info , due to privacy
but check the small print and you will see that most time you give consent to do anything with your details
should always negotiate contracts that you sign , remember that you are a customer ,

It didnt happen Brad. Some people are full o shit. lol Since I was subcontracting for that company they never had any of that info.

Oh and since Ive never ever given out my checking account number to an employer he is even more full of shit. lol Always paper check. Unless he is talking about my epassporte account lol
