Should the Gov. Privacy Act be able to collect info on us without permission if they say its kept confidential

No, they leak a CIA operatives name! You really believe anything the governmeny has on anybody is confidential?\n\nEven if it were confidential, which means whatever they want it to mean, I don't want someone getting information on me without my knowledge. And why would they even want it?

Ask them.\n\nThat is private information that is protected through privacy laws.  If a bank or someone gives that out, they would be in TROUBLE!!

its called FOIA, Freedom of Information Act. any request for information you make, if there is a reason section on any application, make sure that along with any other reason you may have put down, you also write F.O.I.A. at that point if you are denied the information they must provide a reason in writing why you my not have that information.

I have nothing to hide, but I do want the benefit of privacy so that I can share things with friends and family without the rest of the world knowing about them. The government has no business being involved in my sex life or knowing who I sleep with. I want to keep certain acts from being known to the general population just as a matter of respect for myself and those around me.

I am not sure of the lie.. but if you have proof you didn't say it let people know.  And depending on the lie.. you have a right to say whatever you want.  Constitution says so.

Think this is the Data Protection act 1998 and it states that you should not hold information on others any longer than is required for the purpose it was gathered. The information you hold should only be used for the purpose specified, so you cant release it to any third party without the persons consent or use it for any other reason.\n\nHave a look at this site http://www.businesslink.gov.uk. There is some info on it about the DP Act

How the heck would we know?  Does this government freely share information?

It really depends on the type of information you're seeking.  If you have specifics, you can always submit a FOIA request to the government -- they are obligated by law to reply.

That is not a good idea to put out your information like that. What if someone steals your information for evil or worse steal your identity and you cannot use your name anymore. The net is not for sharing personal information, you should be more careful. There are bad people out there.

attorneys are not obligated to disclose any information for privacy purpose and protection of the worker.\n\nYou can try to get a court order to get such disclosures.

It was my understanding that the gov't requested the info ... not that yahoo just gave the info on their own

YES!!! I don't like it at all. I think there should always be an optional question that we get to answer EVERYTIME we give any personal information anywhere. It should ask something like, "do u agree that we can store your personal data even after you are no longer a customer and pass this information on to other parties...?"

Absolutely. They have the right to make sure that you aren't passing insider information about the company. I have one, but I do not give my last name, nor do I post any information that can say what company I work for, so they can't come at me for giving away information.
