When I left finance, I hid my pay for the opposite reason of most people. I knew that most tech companies wouldn't match the absurd compensation I'd earned at a hedge fund, so there was no point in divulging it.
I'd never say, though, that I refuse to divulge pay based on a company policy. That makes the position seem weak. "I'm not telling you, because I'm not allowed." I'd make it clear that I'm not divulging it because I don't want to, and any company that wouldn't respect that desire on my part is a place where I wouldn't want to work.
