I have a strange question. I recently received an invoice from Pay by Plate Massachusetts because my transponder was apparently defective for a period of time. Before opening the letter, I noticed that in the clear window showing my name and address, you could visibly see the balance I owe them. I know that there is a "tap test" where you tap all sides of the envelope to make sure that the shipping info is always visible. The paper was all very snug inside the envelope, and there was no way to move the invoice within to hide the total from view through the clear window. When my girlfriend saw this, she told me of a case where a company displayed highly sensitive medical information about their patients through that clear window on the envelope, which allowed anyone who saw the letter that the person has HIV. This is obviously nowhere near as egregious as that, but it's still frustrating that private information like this is clearly visible. In addition to this, you can read nearly everything else on the invoice even without the aid of shining a source of light through the envelope. The envelope is just so thin that you can easily make out my license plate number, the invoice number, an my transaction activity; which shows the date, time, and locations of tolls I have passed through. This doesn't seem right to me at all. Does anyone have any information on this? Thanks!

No I don't think I'm looking to pursue it, I wouldn't really know where to begin with that. Mostly just curious. It is mildly frustrating for that kind of information to be easily access from a piece of mail, but ultimately I'm not terribly concerned. Thank you for the info.

It's unfortunate. Legally speaking, nothing wrong. But on an ethical level, yeah there should be something in place to not have that happening. Agreed.
