There's a big difference between seeing data in the course of your job, and being legally able to share it!

By default you’re legally able to share it. It’s your data, you’re telling someone how much you paid for something.

Something can’t be a trade secret if it’s not a secret at all, and if you’re the seller, and the information is a description of something someone else did (ie how much the buyer paid) then it’s not your secret to defend.
