Why am I asked for my social security number (or social insurance number for Canadian shoppers) and date of birth during registration? Is it safe to give this information over the Internet?
We ask mystery shoppers to provide their social security number (or social insurance number for Canadian shoppers) for tax reporting purposes only, as this information may be required to be reported to the IRS by our company. This information will not be used for any other reason or disclosed to any third parties without your consent unless required to do so by law. Your date of birth is required only for demographic purposes and will neither be used for any other reason nor disclosed to any party not directly affiliated with Imyst. Additionally, Imyst provides all mystery shoppers 128-bit SSL encryption to ensure the highest level of security when submitting information on our website, so you can feel safe supplying this information. Note that mystery shoppers are required to provide their social security (or social insurance for Canadian shoppers) information prior to receiving payments from our company and within 45 days of completing an assignment.
