It’s not always good to share

The Postal Service places a high priority on personal privacy and cybersecurity.

Public access to postal mobile telephone numbers and postal email addresses may lead to phishing schemes and phone calls from the public after hours.

When responding to a Freedom of Information Act request, postal mobile telephone numbers and postal email addresses may both be redacted by citing Exemption 3 with 39 U.S.C. § 410(c)(2) and Exemption 6.

Safeguarding USPS email addresses and mobile telephone numbers protects both our network and our employees’ privacy.

And that’s smart business.
