so what is included in confidentiality?

when I sign severance papers there is a confidentiality clause that states I won't talk about the contract, none of the duties, processes, trade secrets, etc.

Now I had access to personal information of shareholders, but I don't have any of that information. I do have proposed budgets, variance reports, contract awards... nothing that I believe would be proprietary information that makes for company trade secrets or processes.

I ask this because I'm planning on taking my blog that I campaigned with and turning it into a place to educate our shareholders about how our place operates, both in lack of communication and process. This will be a members only site, members will be vetted against the shareholders list which is available to any shareholder who requests it in writing.

So, I believe I can talk about things that happened 4 years ago so long as I'm not divulging names, personal information. Since there are no minutes provided to shareholders or very little communication, I believe I could even get away with claiming that it is all fiction, based on true stories and events.

These people believe so strongly in not communicating that they don't even want shareholders to know what date and time the next board meeting is.
