Intro:<\/strong>
Confluence is where teams document everything\u2014from meeting notes to contracts to system configurations. And while that\u2019s great for collaboration, it also creates a data privacy minefield<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Without even realizing it, you might be storing sensitive personal data\u2014names, phone numbers, financial details, or even login credentials\u2014in Confluence pages. And if you’re subject to GDPR<\/strong>, CCPA<\/strong>, or any data protection law, that\u2019s a problem.<\/p>\n

The Hidden Risks in Your Knowledge Base<\/strong>
Think of how often users paste customer details into a support doc. Or include screenshots with usernames. Or write out credentials in a how-to page.<\/p>\n

Most Confluence admins don\u2019t realize how much personally identifiable information (PII)<\/strong> lives in their content. And once it\u2019s there, it\u2019s hard to track down\u2014unless you have the right tools.<\/p>\n
