I wonder whether there were any negative repercussions for the postman? I'd be surprised if there isn't a policy against personally contacting mail recipients.
Surely it'd be some sort of data protection violation for him to have used the data printed on the envelope to find the guy on Facebook and send him a personal message?
Or is ad-hoc sleuthing allowed to a reasonable extent to ensure delivery of mail?
This is cool though, maybe I'm just boring. :)
- corin_ 6y agoA policy against contacting mail recipients? They're already allowed to knock on the doors of our homes to deliver something that doesn't fit through the letterbox, or requires a signature...
- jamieweb 6y agoI mean a policy against contacting them outside of their duties of work. This is fairly standard practise for anybody with access to personal data as part of their job. I'm sure there's all sorts of problems, ranging from simple nosiness to people snooping on previous partners or crushes, etc.
