I just learned about The Work Number, what are other methods of employee, medical, or financial data collection can I opt out of?

I tried looking for lists but didn’t find any.

The Work Number is US-specific and where your employers input your salary data for future employers to see. You can opt out here: https://employees.theworknumber.com/employee-data-freeze/.

    Consider what would happen if employees across the globe posted to an open database about their employer, position title, salary bonus and health care information. I’m sure we’d all be sued. How is this legal?
