The specific privacy regulation being violated is the **Privacy Act of 1974**. According to the information provided, it is alleged that DOGE's access to Treasury Department records containing sensitive personal data such as Social Security and bank account numbers violates this act. The Privacy Act of 1974 regulates the collection, storage, handling, and disclosure of personally identifiable information (PII) by federal agencies[2][4]. Violations can be both civil and criminal, and multiple groups, including the director of the Office of Management and Budget and the Federal Register, are involved in enforcing the act. The act requires agencies to inform individuals about the data being collected about them and to provide them with access to correct any inaccuracies in their records[2].
