# Secure information requests

> Collect sensitive information and documents from stakeholders through structured, secure forms.

**Secure information requests** are structured forms that your team, accountant, or service provider can send to collect specific data or documents securely.

## How they work

When someone needs information from you (or you need it from a stakeholder), a secure information request is created with specific fields and file upload requirements. The recipient fills out the form and submits their response through Commenda.

## Receiving a request

When you receive a secure information request:

1. You'll get a notification (email and in-app).
2. Click the link to open the request form.
3. Fill in the requested information fields.
4. Upload any required documents.
5. Submit the response.

## What requests can collect

Secure information requests support different field types:

* **Text fields** — for entering information like names, numbers, or descriptions
* **File uploads** — for submitting documents, certificates, or images
* **Confirmations** — for acknowledging or agreeing to statements

## Who sends requests

Requests can come from:

* **Your advisor** — collecting information needed for filings or compliance work
* **Commenda's team** — gathering details for a service request
* **Your own team** — collecting information from key persons or stakeholders

<Info>
  All information submitted through secure information requests is encrypted and only accessible to authorized parties.
