Make a civil liberties complaint Musk et. al. who violate Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a
What follows is text to email to the Treasury Department and how to make a complaint about the breach of your information
To: privacy@treasury.gov
Hello,
I am making a civil liberties complaint under the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a.
It has come to my attention that Elon Musk and his associates, under the guise of a directive of the Department of Government Efficiency (an IT office in the White House), have acquired access to Treasury Department Records in Systems of records as defined by the Act.
As an individual covered by the Act, I believe that there may be records about me in these Treasury Department systems, and I am concerned for the following reasons:
Elon Musk is not an elected official.
Even if Elon Musk were an elected official, the Systems of Records Notices (SORNS) governing the Treasury Department Privacy Act systems do not allow for disclosure to Musk and his associates per the Routine Uses.
Disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII) and sensitive personally identifiable information (SPII) to Musk and his associates would be an unauthorized disclosure and therefore breach of information.
The Treasury Department must 1. quickly investigate what Privacy Act records that Musk and his associates have unlawfully accessed, 2. reveal to the public what unauthorized disclosures were made, 3. stop further access, 4. force any files acquired by Musk and his associates to be returned and permanently destroyed, and 5. seek criminal penalties against Musk and his associates for violations of the Act.
Sincerely,
YOUR NAME
