Do G-1145 texts/emails include applicant's name?

I actually just found this on USCIS website:
E-Notifications do not include any personal information, including your name, because email and text message are not secure ways for us to transmit this information.  The notification will list your receipt number and tell you how to obtain case status information.

I guess my second question still holds.. Does the case status information include names? Or since it's sent through "unsecure texts/emails" it is not safe for USCIS to include personal information in case status?

The case status (at least the one here, I've never used the one for online applicants), does not include any personal information. It only lists the case number and the status update.

My case status never showed names. Just very generic information. When you consider that the "unsecure" e-mail/text contains the receipt number, it stands to reason that if someone intercepted it they could just put the receipt number in USCIS and get the personal information. So it makes sense that they keep it all generic and without identifying details, whether in e-mail or online.

Thank you! I'll just use email addresses on the G-1145 to avoid confusion when I file

Yeah that makes sense, thank you!
