Why would a retailer ask for it? I don't think I've been asked for my NI number (the UK equivalent) by anyone except people dealing with my tax (including banks) or by the government directly when registering for services.
- chris_wot 9y agoThey don't as a rule, but I believe there have been a few who have tried.
- peteretep 9y ago... to what end? Credit reports can presumably be looked up without them if they're not asked for regularly.
- lostboys67 9y agoIts I believe highly illegal when I worked for BT in the UK misuse of NI numbers was a very serious gross misconduct offence - we go read the riot act over this it was almost as bad as corruptly looking up data on individuals info - say the queens private number ;-)
