Employers and employment agencies must disclose the data collected and their retention policy for the tool

NYC Local Law 144 (automated employment decision tools) · NYC Administrative Code Section 20-871(b)(3); 6 RCNY Section 5-303

Unless already disclosed on the website, an employer or employment agency must provide, within 30 days of a written request from a candidate or employee, information about the type of data the automated employment decision tool collects, the source of that data, and the employer's or agency's data retention policy. The DCWP rules allow this information to be posted publicly instead of answered case by case.

Frequently asked questions

What is an obligation on this site?

A single practical requirement pulled out of an instrument and stated on its own: keep a risk management system, log incidents, document training data, provide human oversight, and so on. Each one cites the article or section it comes from so you can check it against the source.

Does a voluntary obligation have legal force?

No, and every obligation is labelled either a legal requirement or voluntary guidance. Voluntary items still matter in practice, because procurement questionnaires and auditors ask about them, but only the binding ones carry legal consequence.

How do I find the obligations that apply to my organisation?

Filter by jurisdiction, category, actor, sector or use case. The applicability check asks a short set of questions and returns the duties that may reach you. It is an educational screen, not a legal determination, and it says so.

Why do some instruments have no obligations listed?

Because nobody has broken them out yet. Most instruments are recorded at summary level first; obligations are added jurisdiction by jurisdiction. The coverage and open-gaps pages publish exactly what is missing rather than hiding it.
