This poses an interesting question: if the government mandates a company to collect data, are they exempt from this? What's stopping them from using that data

This poses an interesting question: if the government mandates a company to collect data, are they exempt from this? What's stopping them from using that data for commerical purposes?
- lmkg 4y agoSection 101 part b "Permissible Purposes," defines when data is allowed to be collected. The sixth such purpose: "To comply with a legal obligation imposed by Federal, Tribal, Local, or State law..." A close reading of the wording implies this only covers requests backed by a law, i.e. it does not cover "polite requests" from a government agency. However that is a theoretic protection, practice could be different.
