Forbidding disclosure of something that was sent to you, with no other explanation or referral to a law or authority seems to me just plain silly.
Kind of like me saying to someone I forbid you to eat butter. Would make most people I know just eat more butter with a digit held up as they were doing it

This is a disclaimer that I've often encountered in mails from institutions, and at one place of employment we were supposed to have it as part of the signature.
But this is the kind of meaning that "privacy" holds to most of us. The postal worker might hold my postcard, but since he/she is not the recipient they won't make a copy of it and distribute it.
