If you give your ss number out, you should assume the company will save it forever and misuse it.
We have ss numbers from customers dating back at least 15 years. It saves us time if they come back, that’s the only reason they’re kept that long (to my knowledge). It’s a casino, we need ss if you win enough to pay taxes. So, we do need to keep them for some length of time.
But, ss are visible to most customer service staff that handle reward cards (starting pay is the defacto minimum wage for the area for some customer service roles, btw).
