Privacy

I feel as though my privacy disclosure act has been breeched by our credit union. I need to know what my legal rights are concerning this. Our personal information and copies of our loan payment documents were given to a person without our permission by the Credit Union manager. What are our rights under the law for this act?

I had a felony conviction in 2002 and told my employer about it when hired in 2004. In 2006 he 'GOOGLED' my name and found references about the felony investigation---not the outcome--online. He told me about it so I would be aware. He frequently referred to these internet entries over the next 18 months. I was terminated in November 2007. I received two employment offers over the next 6 weeks and after both talked to my prior supervisor, the offer was withdrawn, even though I disclosed my felony conviction on the application paperwork and was told there was no problem. I believe my privacy was violated when my supervisor first googled my name and maybe also if he suggested to potential employers that they google my name. Should I pursue an invasion of privacy lawsuit?

During an IRS examination; Is it legal for them to secretly record the conversation between the examiner and the taxpayer without advising the taxpayer? If different legality (US vs Iowa ) which would apply? Last but not least how far back can they go looking for small mistakes amounting to 2 to 300 dollars in deductions caused by incorrect listing where taxpayer failed to reduce deductions by 50% when occupying part of a duplex in 2004 not intentional fraud; as in falsely or failing to report -income- evasion etc?

Can an employee record a conversation that her supervisor is having with other employees?

I received a summons concerning 'invasion of privacy' with a court appearance four weeks from now. How would one find out what this is concerning ?
