Confidential information is non-public information that a person or company treats as private and protects from disclosure, and that is shared only with authorized people for a legitimate purpose.
It commonly includes things like trade secrets, product plans, source code, customer lists, pricing, financials, contracts, employee data, and any information marked or understood to be confidential.
