⚠️
Metadata has lost cases — and it could cost you yours.
In 2003, Microsoft Word metadata in a UK Government dossier exposed classified intelligence. In civil litigation, document metadata routinely reveals when attorneys edited key paragraphs, which party drafted a clause first, and what arguments were considered then abandoned. ShieldDrop ensures your documents say only what you intend.
