It has been decided, by me, thag I will respond with “Decline to disclose.”

I've been thinking about Herman Melville's short story "Bartleby, the Scrivener." That's the guy with the terrible job with a view of a brick wall who replied, "I would prefer not to" to all entreaties.

I need to give a re-read. There was a modern problem being addressed in that story.
