Usage Note

Ocultado is the past participle of ocultar ('to hide, to conceal') used as an adjective, emphasising that something has been actively hidden by someone. It differs from oculto (which often means inherently hidden or secret) in that ocultado implies deliberate human action. Información ocultada suggests a cover-up, while información oculta might mean simply undiscovered information.
