Employer Access to Employee Personal Social Media Accounts in Alaska

Short answer Alaska has no state statute specifically regulating ordinary employer demands for an employee's or applicant's personal social media account credentials or private display. The current code sets no account-specific conditions or remedy for those demands. Other employment and privacy rules may still matter in a particular case.

Alaska's current statute index places labor and workers' compensation in Title 23. A search of the complete current official code across all 47 titles found no provision specifically regulating an ordinary employer's demand for an employee's or applicant's personal social media account credentials or private account display. The code search also found no social media account refusal protection, exception, or remedy.

This limited statutory answer does not determine whether a particular request is lawful under another employment rule, a privacy law, a contract, or federal law.

Common questions

Does Alaska's code require an employer to follow a special investigation procedure before asking for account access? No social media account procedure appears in the current statutes. That does not settle the legal limits on a particular investigation.

Does the lack of a social media account statute mean every demand is lawful? No. The answer here concerns only a dedicated state statute on employer access to personal social media accounts.
