# Verifying Confidential Data

### Verifying Confidential Company Name <a href="#verifying-confidential-company-name" id="verifying-confidential-company-name"></a>

If the **Company Name is confidential,**

* The System cannot match the search with any certified entity record.
* No results will be shown, as the company’s confidentiality prevents it from being linked to its certification details.

### Verifying a Confidential Certification <a href="#verifying-a-confidential-certification" id="verifying-a-confidential-certification"></a>

Paid subscribers can search for a company name, even if some certification details are confidential.

* If the company name matches, and the certificate is marked as confidential, the system will display the **certificate in the certification list but indicate that it is tagged as confidential.**
