Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for data routing alteration to avoid a specified end user. In an embodiment of the invention, a method for data re-routing for specific end user avoidance includes receiving a request to route a file to a primary location and identifying an end user excluded from accessing the document. The method also includes computing a likelihood that the excluded end user may contemporaneously access the primary location. Finally, the method includes responding to a determination that the excluded end user is likely to contemporaneously access the primary location by taking corrective measures to re-route the file to an alternate location.
