Hi all,

I'm not sure how/where to report something like this. I conducted a change of address on USPS.com, and they partner with MYMOVE to handle Voter Registration. However, instead of sending me my VR form, they sent me someone else's, which, considering the "password" was the new zip code, leaves that individual's name and address information exposed, and thus potentially my own to others.

While I have reached out to MYMOVE including requesting any PDF generation and/or delivery of my information, who should I reach out to for reporting something like this?

Thanks.

Pretty common but not much of a privacy violation. Most addresses are pretty public. If you've ever used one of those investigation websites you'd see how many different places the name and address get linked - only way to possibly keep your name not associated with your address is to never use the address for any correspondence, packages, or even shit like school applications, drivers license record, etc. Instead use a PO Box, a friend, or a forwarder. Even then it won't stop someone like a landlord from putting your name associated with the address somewhere where someone can find it. And if you buy, you basically need a LLC run by a lawyer as the owner of record to avoid having your name associated with the address.
