I am worried about my company giving out more of my information.
My company already gave my home phone number to a college without my permission, now they are telling us we have to have our picture taken. Do I have to let them take my picture?

in general the answer is yes as long as they want it for a legitimate reason such as photo id cards or for a scanner to show your picture. A company is entitled to this type of information as what we look like is not private information. Furthermore the only real reason this would be a problem was if a persons religious beliefs for example prohibited their picture being taken.
I assume this type of problem doesn't exist for you and as such would advise to just comply. However if there is more to this than you may want to contact a local attorney who specializes in this area of law. they can hear you out than advise as to what they would do in this situation and than you can proceed from there.
