Real-name parcel deliveries raise concerns

SINCE SUNDAY, senders of parcels have been required by law to provide personal identification and the contact details of all recipients. However, many companies are not carrying out the regulation as required. Comments:

For most customers using a parcel delivery service, whether their personal information will be safe and sound is their primary concern. Therefore, given the possible privacy threat under the latest real-name regulations, it has to be made clear who is responsible for protecting users' information from being illegally exploited. The promotion of real-name package deliveries can only proceed when customers are in favor of it, and safe in the knowledge that their personnel information will not be misused.
