These kind of incidents are dangerous, and we only hear about big companies, not counting zillions small companies out there.
1) There should be a law to forbid companies to store social security number if the person do not get the job or no longer working for the company.
2) There should be a law to demand companies to erase your credit card number etc after the exchange date for the good is over.
There is no need for collecting this kind of personal tracking for information (they go overboard to do this) you can learn the trend of demand for certain good by just inventory number, that should be enough
(One of the orchid seller asking my credit card number again everytime I buy, He said that because he made it a policy to destroy the number when the transaction is done, that made me feel better)
