Quiz: What Does DOGE Know About You?

Federal agencies collect and store some of the most sensitive personal data on record: income histories, medical records, immigration details, and even digital signatures. Strict rules and laws protect this information. But now, the Department of Government Efficiency has bypassed long-standing privacy laws and safeguards in its push to access the private data of millions of Americans. This raises urgent questions: Who controls this data now? Where is it being stored? And what happens when these protections are ignored? While the impacts of DOGE’s access to personal data remain unclear, New America’s Open Technology Institute built a new tool to help you understand what pieces of your own data and identity might be at risk today. With so much uncertainty about who is accessing this data and why, this interactive quiz helps connect some of the dots—putting your information and privacy risk front and center.
