This is a bit controversial; they are not allowed to but technically is not possible to second or protect this rule in any way: postcards are all the way open for "previewing". So a post(wo)man simply may say that he was dreaming some info being on postcard, and his/her dream is his/her property, and that's it. (-: That's why people may choose what to use for a private mail: a postcard or an enveloped letter. Expecting for my privacy to be protected by a "third party" while I myself act quite contrarily, exposing my privacy publicly, on a post card, has no any sense. (: So, those who use *gmail* for *private* correspondence may simply use crypto, and no fuss no problem. Isn't that obvious? I mean, all this talk about privacy on post cards seems to me so amazing and hilarious that I *had* to say something, regardless it's a Sunday today and therefore it could be not perhaps appropriate at all.
