If there are no relevant laws restricting the release of said information (FIRPA? HIPPA?) it's merely social pressures and convention that leave most communication private, not the law.

Pedantic, but I expect you really mean "(FERPA? HIPAA?)" here.

(The first is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and the second is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.)

Yeah, meant FERPA. Subliminal assault by phonics or something.
