"Confidential Person" attached to a record I've been working on. WHY? HELP?

My name is Natalie Holbrook.

I've worked some hours this morning on this man's record below, along with other members of his family. He/they is/are NOT my ancestor(s).

Slaimen or Salomón J. Karam

GJ7K-TQC

This morning when I refreshed my internet page, "Confidental Person" was attached. Since, I've read the articles on Confidential people.

Why, now, for him? Mistake 

😮

? Is there someone at FS who can override it - place him back on public viewing?

I'd like that.

I'd like to be talked with or texted or e-mailed so I may learn exactly what "Confidential Person" entails, why it might appear on any record, how it inhibits further work if it does, and (if possible) why THIS PERSON had it attached earlier this morning. Did I have anything to do with that - something I did? Was it random or purposeful?

Thank you. I look forward to hearing from you. Have a good week and holiday. Natalie
