Well for example in germany Art 10(1):

>Das Briefgeheimnis sowie das Post- und Fernmeldegeheimnis sind unverletzlich.

>The secrecy(privacy) of correspondence and the secrecy of mail and telecommunications are inviolable.

And it's more or less the same in Switzerland....but honestly in what country do you live where privacy is not a fundamental right?

It even part of the UN Human Rights Convention:

>Niemand darf willkürlichen oder rechtswidrigen Eingriffen in sein Privatleben, seine Familie, seine Wohnung und seinen Schriftverkehr oder rechtswidrigen Beeinträchtigungen seiner Ehre und seines Rufes ausgesetzt werden.

>No one shall be subjected to arbitrary or unlawful interference with his or her private life, family, home and correspondence, or to unlawful impairment of his or her honor and reputation.
