*'''Information stays “confidential” even if you have to disclose it to regulators''': {{confidentiality and regulatory disclosure}}
*'''[[Proprietary information]]''': If your definition starts with “information belonging to the discloser” or “[[proprietary information]]” then you have excluded most of the data you are seeking to protect. “Belonging to” implies “possession”, implies “property” implies “[[intellectual property]]”. Intellectual property subsists in creative works — [[copyright]], [[patent]] and [[trademark]]s —  but not in facts or raw data. To be yours, you have to have created it. Your trading data, your client lists, your employees — this is not information ''belonging to you''. It is information ''relating to'' you which ([[QED]]) the receiving party wants but does not have, which is why it is worthy of protection by {{tag|contract}} even though no [[intellectual property]] rights attach to it.
