And as far as selling of my personal information goes ... it is my information to give. I should inform someone when they can use it (opt in), not have to tell someone when they cannot use it (opt out).
I've had many background checks in my time. Never have I had one where I've had to opt out of allowing them to use it for solicitation. FIRST has, while trying to protect itself, sold out it's greatest resource ... the mentors.

SSN are not even unique. So it's entirely possible that the check comes up wrong anyway.
I've gone through many background checks and I also second that there's never been a case where I have to tell them that they can't sell my information to people.
