A short working paper arguing that data shared over the internet should be managed under established confidential-data practices rather than the label of privacy, and that the graduated disclosure mechanisms of Authentic Chained Data Containers (ACDCs) support those practices. It sets out a three-party model of data sharing and ends with draft notes on bulk issuance using blinded sparse Merkle trees. For readers working on data governance and credential design.
