Confidencial

Confidencial is a Spanish-language adjective meaning "confidential" or "private." It is used to describe information, documents, or communications that are restricted to authorized persons and should not be disclosed publicly. In legal, administrative, and business contexts, phrases such as información confidencial, datos confidenciales, and confidencialidad refer to protections of privacy and nondisclosure agreements. The concept is central to information security, data protection regulations, and the ethics of handling sensitive material.

In media and journalism, Confidencial is also used as a proper name for several outlets in Spanish-speaking countries. A notable example is the Nicaraguan independent news site Confidencial, which publishes political, investigative, and social reporting. As with other media brands that emphasize rigor and discernment, such outlets aim to provide information that may not be readily available in mainstream channels, though they may also face scrutiny or political pressure depending on the environment.

The term thus operates both as a general descriptor of privacy and as a brand identifier for media enterprises active in information dissemination.
