The other day, I applied for vietnamese visa online, and they sent me an approval letter with a list of about 18 traveler names, their birth dates, passport numbers, and nationalities including mine. In the email it says it's a normal practice for them. I definitely didn't know about this when applying and am not happy.
Where did you apply for your visa? I'm going to be applying for my Vietnam Visa soon and was thinking of using the E-VISA but I know there are a lot of private companies that somehow get you a Visa.
It's just the way the visa on arrival process works. Not great but I don't think there's a way around it for VOA. I had the same thing happen to myself a few years ago and was a bit surprised myself.
