PO boxes for privacy? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Using PO boxes is a more secure alternative to having packages delivered to your home. However, isn't it true that they capture a photo of each individual accessing the box and also gather fingerprints when you touch the screen?

I work for a corporate multinational conglomerate that very much is not laissez faire 😅

Clearly laissez faire enough in regards to addresses. Which is cool, I wish this was more common. People have a right to privacy.

yeah, I think it might have been an oversight - after acquisitions there is a lot of chaos and sometimes there are periods where HR is disrupted and things slip through the cracks. In this case, the software that manages your information allowed me to change from my residential address to a PO box and no one ever brought it up.
