Privacy, Addresses, Phones & Digital Information

Transport and delivery employees often see information that ordinary members of the public would not have.

You may know:

• a customer’s home address
• workplace address
• phone number
• location pin
• order details
• delivery schedule
• gate instructions
• estate access information
• preferred contact method
• payment status
• delivery code
• when the customer is likely to be home

You may have this information because your job requires it.

That does not make the information yours to use personally.

For example:

A Dispatch Rider receives a woman’s phone number because he is delivering her package.

After the delivery he saves the number and sends:

“Hi beautiful. I was the rider that delivered to you today.”

He may think:

“I already had her number.”

But he did not receive the number for personal contact.

He received it for work.

That distinction matters.

• protect work phones, passwords and delivery applications
• share customer information only where authorized
• use delivery photographs responsibly
• communicate professionally through WhatsApp, SMS and other digital channels
• respond appropriately to accidental disclosure or lost devices
