FYI to employees: Stanford is selling your salary information to Equifax

Equifax has a service called The Work Number used by employers and other orgs that want to access people’s salary data. If you register for an employee account and download your report, you’ll see that Stanford has been reporting the amounts of every single paycheck, including for students.

I’m sure it’s legal, but it’s not cool from a privacy perspective that a nonprofit university feels the need to sell the financial data of employees to one of the least trustworthy companies on the planet.
