Your company knows a lot about you: your age, how many children you have, where you live, your vacation habits. But what if they also know that you just bought a new mountain bike or a pregnancy test? That you scroll through Twitter during your lunch break or that you just scheduled an appointment with a dermatologist? 

Leora Eisenstadt, assistant professor of Legal Studies at the Fox School of Business, studies how companies can and are gathering data from our personal lives to glean information—and predict things like our willingness to take risks, attempts to multitask, and current or future health issues. Plus how this data collection might drive decisions about your career trajectory at your company.
