BCC
Secret email copies
BCC stands for blind carbon copy, an email function that sends a copy to recipients whose addresses remain hidden from other recipients.
Unlike CC, where everyone can see who received the message, BCC keeps those addresses private: Put the whole team in BCC so they don't see each other's emails.
Often styled in lowercase as bcc. (Lowercase bcc is the same term.)
