The Application
CFPB employee personal data constitutes records protected in a system of records under the Privacy Act. Granting DOGE-affiliated employees access to this data without employee consent or statutory authority for such disclosure raises Privacy Act compliance issues.

Judge Richard J. Leon of the D.C. District Court decided the case, addressing whether the CFPB's disclosure of employee data to DOGE personnel violated the Privacy Act's restrictions on agency record disclosure.
