Birdie is required by law (Bank Secrecy Act) and our bank partner to collect certain information from our users to verify their identities.
We may ask for your SSN to verify your identity if you receive a gift on Birdie.
Your Social Security Number (SSN) is a unique and secure way for us to identify you and keep your banking information safe.
We take your security seriously. That's why we use high-level security practices like encryption and use secure (TLS) connections to keep your data safe. Birdie does not directly store your SSN. It is used only once for the verification process that is required by law and after that it is not accessible or used for any other purposes.
