TrustLogics' Whitepaper:
One of the major triggers of personal and identity data loss is the hiring industry: random, unnecessary circulation of sensitive personal and professional data across unsecured networks both online and offline which leads to data being compromised
Standing on the same sound reasoning as TrustLogics when it comes to data unnecessarily circulating among different hiring parties that could cause data loss and identity theft.
I really do think that giving the users full control to where and when data is provided is really a great sum of a deal as none of us would want sensitive information of ours to be compromised specially without our explicit permission.
