I’m not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV.
May I suggest a most simple work around?
If you have a big glump to transfer and it even MIGHT be private … …
(i.e., if you are NOT absolutely sure it’s public info. AND bear in mind, from my time on Wall Street, I know that interest in public info by a registered rep is in and of itself sensitive. So you may always want to err on the side of caution!)
… … then encrypt it.
Now before everyone runs for the silver bullets and garlic, it’s almost trivial.
Get any of the free zip utilities. Take your file and zip it up with the password option. (Make the password easy live NEVADA, DOPEY, or CONSTELLATION. Just not “password”!) And, upload your encrypted and compressed file.
(If you make it an executable, it’s easier the receiver.)
The receiver takes the file download and is challenged for the password.
That allows you to use a free utility service for private information. If you are really paranoid, encrypt it twice with different packages and different passwords.
imho
