aggregated user data. If a customer is not
comfortable with the terms and
conditions of Informed Delivery, he or
she may choose not to subscribe or may
unsubscribe at any time.
Question 10: Will the Informed
Delivery service create phishing
opportunities?
Answer: All emails originate from a
Postal Service address and are branded
with official USPS graphics, images,
logos, etc. All legitimate USPS Informed
Delivery emails will include an
unsubscribe option. While there is
always the possibility—as there is with
any email from any source—that some
phishers may attempt to take advantage,
the Postal Service protects its brand and
unbranded items should be recognizable
as spam. Moreover, the Postal Service
takes cybersecurity seriously and will
safeguard all of its products to the best
of its ability.
Question 11: Is the Informed Delivery
service available for businesses,
corporations and other government
agencies that do not have 11-digit Zip
Codes?
Answer: The Informed Delivery
service is available only for residential
customers with unique 11-digit ZIP
Codes.
Question 12: Who can sign up for the
Informed Delivery service?
Answer: Each customer in a
household over the age of 18 may enroll
in the Informed Delivery service. The
Postal Service uses various methods to
verify identities including internal data
and data provided by third parties, such
as the requirement of opening a
usps.com account, to eliminate those
under the age of 18 from enrolling in the
Informed Delivery service. Because all
interested consumers must successfully
complete online or in person address
verification to confirm that they live at
the address to be enrolled in the
Informed Delivery service, the Postal
Service is confident that it has measures
in place to protect customers interested
in the Informed Delivery service. The
Informed Delivery service allows
recipients to get an advanced view of
the outside of a mailpiece. In that
respect, it is no different than household
members viewing that same mailpiece
in the household mailbox.
Question 13: Is the 11-Digit ZIP Code
or a Mail Image Personally Identifiable
Information?
Answer: The Privacy Act does not
permit the disclosure of a record, within
a system of records, except pursuant to
certain exceptions. Under the Privacy
Act, records include information that
contains a name, identifying number,
symbol or something else that identifies
a particular individual. Neither the mail

Jkt 241001
image nor the 11-digit ZIP Code classify
as records under the Privacy Act.
The mail image is not a record under
the Privacy Act because the mail images
are just images. The printed information
on the mailpiece is not stored with the
image. Only the image is stored and as
such, it is not associated with any other
information that would cause it to be
personally identifiable. The Postal
Service does not examine, or allow
others to examine, mailpiece images
unless a customer specifically requests
an investigation into something related
to the delivery of that mailpiece.
The 11-digit ZIP Code is not a record
under the Privacy Act because it
includes address information for a
physical location,1 without personal
identifiers or recipient information, and
is not associated with any particular
individual. This is evidenced by the 37
million mail forwarding and change-ofaddress requests the Postal Service
receives yearly. Address locations
change and are not unique identifiers in
and of themselves.
Question 14: Application of Routine
Use 10.
Answer: The Informed Delivery
service System of Records aligns with
the System of Records used for
Customer Registration because
Customer Registration is the vehicle
under which customers enroll in the
Informed Delivery service. As a result,
the Routine Uses must align in order for
the systems to operate transparently.
Question 15: Application of Routine
Use 11.
Answer: The Informed Delivery
service System of Records aligns with
the System of Records used for
Customer Registration because
Customer Registration is the vehicle
under which customers enroll in the
Informed Delivery service. As a result,
the Routine Uses must align in order for
the systems to operate transparently.

BILLING CODE 7710–12–P
1 The 11-digit ZIP Code contains the ZIP+4 Code,
which is a nine-digit number, the first five of which
represent the 5-digit ZIP Code or postal district/
zone; the sixth and seventh digits identify a sector;
the eighth and ninth digits identify a smaller area
known as a segment. Together, the final four digits
identify geographic units such as a side of a street
between intersections, both sides of a street
between intersections, a building, a floor or group
of floors in a building, a firm within a building, a
span of boxes on a rural route, or a group of Post
Office boxes to which a single Postal Service
employee makes delivery. The last two digits of an
11-digit ZIP Code are the Delivery Point Code that
allows ordering of mail in preparation for delivery.
