<prompt> Human: Hello everyoneI signed up to this new gym and they asked me to enter my full SSN on the applicaiton. Its not a sketchy gym, its a part of a very big chain so I was not too worried. I asked them why they needed my SSN but they gave me some explanation and all members seem to be ok with giving them the SSN. Now I notice that they are very sloppy with the application forms, they are all over their desk and you can see peoples SSNs on the front page. I saw atleast 4 different peoples SSNs when I went to the office yesterday to get something from them. I told them they have to be careful , they brushed it aside and said they are careful and this is just a one time mistake. But I see that happening a lot. What can I do about this gym?  <response>: Since you have already given your information your stuck with that. However, if your willing to possibly cause a problem, you can use your cell phone to take some pictures of the applications you see in passing to see if you can clearly see the SSNs and other information. If you can, I would show these pictures to the location manager and remind them that they are in violation with the Federal Trade Commission rules on protecting customer information. Tell the manager they have one week to fix this or you will report them to the FTC. The fines can easily be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. More then likely what would happen is the franchise owner would get in a lot of trouble with corporate or maybe even loose the franchise.
