Title: [English Native Speaker needed] Difference between Disclosure and Exposure?
Post by: tyz on September 12, 2020, 11:34:23 AM
The title already includes my question.

Can someone explain to me (preferably an English native speaker) what exactly the difference between disclosure and exposure is?

For example:

The information has been disclosed.
The information has been exposed.

Thanks!

Not a native speaker but from my understanding:

a Disclosed information means that an organisation or a person willfully/voluntarily shared the information.  

an Exposed information means that this information was not supposed to be shared but got shared by a third party.



For example:

A company discloses their terms and conditions.

A person exposes the secret of his friend.

Hope this helps.
