Certified Information Privacy Professional – United States (CIPP/US) — Question 173

Which of the following laws is NOT involved in the regulation of employee background checks?

Answer options

• A. The Civil Rights Act.
• B. The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA).
• C. The U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).
• D. The California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA).

Correct answer: B

Explanation

The correct answer is B, as the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) primarily focuses on the protection of consumers' personal financial information, not on employee background checks. In contrast, the Civil Rights Act, the U.S. Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), and the California Investigative Consumer Reporting Agencies Act (ICRAA) all have direct implications for the regulation of background checks and the handling of personal data in employment contexts.
