I put the whole mess on the company can't put, "I prefer not to give SSN", next to the check box instead of "no SSN". Most people will interpret the No SSN as saying you don't have one, not that you don't want to give it.

So now that it is apparent someone could screw this up, does FIRST get your credit report if you put in your SSN?
If they do, whether they wanted it or not, they are responsible for safe gaurding it.
Also instructions from a right hand column are not at all smart because English is read left to right. I filled in my application on my smartphone because FIRST sent me a request to register because they needed volunteers. A narrow screen means one is just more likely to not see that instruction on the right.
