*'''Information stays “confidential” even if you have to disclose it to regulators''': Don’t make the {{tag|schoolboy error}} of including in this exclusion from the definition of {{confiprov|confidential information}} “information required to be disclosed to regulators or government authorities”. This is a legitimate exception to the prohibition on disclosing information — see below — but it shouldn’t disqualify the information from being Confidential Information altogether. If it did, once you were required to give any information to the regulator, it would suddenly be open season and you could tell everyone about it.

*'''[[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.
