I know they need it because a lot of the info-searching sites that they "opt" you "out" from require it. I feel like I read that some need SSN too but I'm not sure about that one.

Also note that SafeShepherd has this fine clause right at the end [1]:

"You agree that Safe Shepherd isn't liable for any failure to comply with these Terms."

What is this supposed to mean? Would you accept it?

Well that seems to imply that if you violate the TOS, it's your fault, not theirs. Seems reasonable?
