<prompt> Human: So t-mobile is having a promotion where theyre giving away free stock.Ive never bought or owned stock before, so I dont know what to expect. To claim my stock, they asked for my employment information, which just seems like theyre using this to gather information on their customers. I really didnt like that, but I decided to submit the information in exchange for the free stock. Then they asked for my date of birth and social security number, saying it was required see screenshot.I think Ill wait and attempt to gather more information about this company t-mobile is using, loyal3, and whether this information is actually required. But I thought I would also post here and get some help from people much more experienced than me.What are your thoughts on this?Thanks for your help.Edit: Thank you to everyone who posted for the information. I signed up for my stock, and Im going to encourage my husband to do the same.  <response>: Yes this is required. They have to report the stock grant to the government for tax purposes.
