It isn't private though, but corporate. You're communication is generally not protected as an employee (expectation of privacy etc. depending on jurisdiction) and a lot of things people considers personal (gossip, health, locations) generally isn't protected either.
- ovulator 11y agoSo if I send an email to a corporation, that email should be defacto public? If a corporation sends an email back to me, that email should also be defacto public? I have a lot of emails coming to and going to corporations with very private information in them.
- rjaco31 11y agoThey stay private because it's in your interest that they stay so. There is nothing illegal about making your own mails public if you wish so (except if you signed a NDA).
- Glyptodon 11y agoIf there are no relevant laws restricting the release of said information (FIRPA? HIPPA?) it's merely social pressures and convention that leave most communication private, not the law.
- dragonwriter 11y ago> (FIRPA? HIPPA?) Pedantic, but I expect you really mean "(FERPA? HIPAA?)" here. (The first is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and the second is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.)
- Glyptodon 11y agoYeah, meant FERPA. Subliminal assault by phonics or something.
