Contamination.
“The intermixing of data at different sensitivity and need-to-know levels. The lower-level data is
said to be contaminated by the higher-level data; thus contaminating (higher-level) data might not
receive the required level of protection” -Ronald Krutz The CISSP PREP Guide (gold edition) pg

Data seepage is the bits of data that gets distributed by using public resources like Google Calendar. Whatever you notate there can be read by others. Many folks not knowing this put sensitive information there. Another example of data seepage is the information given out by your cellphone, i.e. its location, etc.
