I think there are very strict laws regarding social security numbers and credit card storage. With regard to credit card numbers, I recommend using a third party service that is PCI compliant. I'm not sure about the legality of storing social security numbers, and if you are storing health information, make sure you research HIPAA privacy policies.
FYI we do not generally screen for inappropriate content. This is your responsibility. We will send you warnings if we receive them.
