Why would AT&T need to be storing social security numbers? For debts people owe them or something?

Real answer: when people finance their phones, the provider needs to check their credit to confirm if they’re actually eligible.

The real question is, why do they retain that information?

Probably so they can re-check you in the future when you inevitably renew your contract.
Not that I agree with that. It should only be stored as long as it takes to run the check.

Jesus christ we can’t outsource this to stripe or something like we do with credit card info?
