Legal Action

Jane Does 1-7 v. U.S. Office of Personnel Management

Filed in: U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia

Summary

Pseudonymous plaintiffs are challenging the U.S. Office of Personnel Management’s (OPM) deployment of a government-wide mass email system, without first conducting and publishing a Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA), which is legally required. The government-wide mass email system was conducted in coordination with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). The plaintiffs argue that OPM collected and stored their sensitive personal information without necessary privacy safeguards, in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act and the E-Government Act of 2002.
