USPS shared users' addresses and web traffic with tech giants, according to an investigation by TechCrunch.

The USPS was caught sharing users' addresses and web traffic with tech giants such as Meta and LinkedIn, following an investigation by TechCrunch. The USPS used tracking pixels on its website to gather data, including postal addresses of logged-in Informed Delivery customers. The USPS claimed it was not aware of the data sharing practice and has since stopped sharing customer information.
