KYC policies, probably. Though asking for gender sounds like an unnecessary mine field.


There's that, but even DOB feels weird. And about twice a month when I log in Google tries to get me to fork over my home address.

KYC outside of industries like banking frustrates me to no end because when it comes to things like money laundering, they still drop the K. I'm reminded of an anecdote from a book I read a while ago, that some rich European had a really big account with either Chase or JP Morgan and his name wasn't attached to that account in any of their internal systems because he requested it.
