Confidential owner?

Looking at used car.
VIR check says "confidential owner - information suppressed"
What does this mean! Why would info be suppressed!
TIA

The owner may be a cop or a drug dealer

Yea cop or government employee or something like that

Thanks! Guess next step will be to ask them outright.

Or simply someone who has opted out.

Registered owner means nothing anyway.

Disagree.
Basically just checking that no money is owed on it.

can also be someone who is under Police protection or a battered woman avoiding an abusive partner just as an example
