  GDAX collects Social Security Numbers for the purpose of complying with Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) regulations. These regulations require financial institutions, including cryptocurrency exchanges, to verify the identity of their customers and prevent illegal activities such as money laundering and terrorist financing. By collecting Social Security Numbers, GDAX can ensure that its users are legitimate and meet the necessary regulatory requirements.

This is a standard practice in the industry to ensure the legitimacy of users and prevent illegal activities. GDAX takes the privacy and security of its users' information seriously and implements strict measures to protect it.
