What Is the Privacy Act?
The Privacy Act is a law that limits how the federal government can collect, use, and share information about US citizens and other people in the United States.
The law’s core features include letting people access government records about them; letting people correct those records if they contain mistakes; requiring agencies to limit information collection, publish lists of records databases, and protect data from hackers; and restricting how agency employees and third parties can access records.
Those restrictions on accessing data are at the heart of the ongoing DOGE saga.
The Privacy Act prohibits an agency from disclosing someone’s records—even within the agency—unless that person approves in writing or the agency meets one of the law’s 12 exceptions. Most of the exceptions deal with fairly specific circumstances, such as congressional oversight, law enforcement investigations, court orders, census work, statistical research, and National Archives preservation. But there are also two broad, vague exceptions: Agencies can share records with their own employees who “have a need for the record in the performance of their duties” or with third parties for “a routine use” (defined as one that is “compatible with the purpose for which [the data] was collected”).](https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/114/029/111/122/233/870/original/cc2b492fa8a2e1b6.png "Sub-heading and text from article:

Elon Musk’s DOGE Is Being Sued Under the Privacy Act: What to Know
At least eight ongoing lawsuits related to the so-called Department of Government Efficiency’s alleged access to sensitive data hinge on the Watergate-inspired Privacy Act of 1974. But it’s not airtight.Eric Geller (WIRED)
