- slantyyz 14y agoAre business e-mails considered personal/private information - legally speaking - in the USA? I was under the impression that non-business e-mails, phone numbers and addresses were considered private, but anything related to a business was fair game.
- dkrich 14y agoMost definitely private. The only exception is if you haven't taken reasonable actions to keep it private (ie, if you had posted it publicly).

- rhizome 14y agoThis email address was publicly available, and I can see how that would be tantamount to already having the address, as in Hamidi.
