Additionally, the motion highlights the need to protect the personal data of Ripple employees and third parties, as disclosure could lead to privacy violations and harm individuals’ reputations and security. Ripple underscores that protecting personal privacy is a key consideration. The company cites legal precedents where similar motions to seal were granted to prevent competitive harm and protect privacy, arguing that their request aligns with legal standards and public interest. Ripple also notes that the documents are covered by confidentiality agreements, making it crucial to maintain the seal to uphold contractual obligations and trust with business partners.
