Why we need the last 4 numbers of your Social Security Number
The last 4 numbers of a valid Social Security Number is necessary to generate a Personal Identification Number (PIN) that will be used to identify you as a legitimate Plan purchaser at an authorized, participating Ford Motor Company dealership. We use the last 4 numbers of the Social Security Number to generate the PIN specifically for your use. When you redeem your PIN at the dealership, your sales representative will request validation of the last 4 numbers of your Social Security Number confirming your plan participation. The last 4 numbers of your Social Security number is used only for this program and is never shared for any other purpose. Additionally, we protect the last 4 numbers of your Social Security Number by encrypting on-line transactions and storing this data only on firewall/password protected data servers.
