This unit covers gathering, assessing, and presenting data and information. It discusses collecting data confidentially, including personal and privileged information. A data subject has rights to be informed of how their information is collected and used. Maintaining confidentiality is important, such as keeping files password protected, anonymizing data if possible, and informing participants how their information will be stored and accessed. The learner will apply these concepts by considering possible confidentiality challenges in research topics and how to ensure privacy.

8. PROTECTING PRIVACY AND MAINTAINING CONFIDENTIALITY
“Confidentiality” is a word that we might encounter in situations
surrounding our healthcare, our finances, or other topics where our
personal information might be concerned. Simply put, “confidentiality”
means that information is being kept secret or private.

9. Personal Identifiable Information or PII. PII is any information that can be used to
identify an individual (such as an email address, phone numbers, biometric data, social
security numbers, etc.).
Considerations in Maintaining Data Confidentiality
● Files containing data should be password protected and encrypted.
● Contact lists of participants should be destroyed when no longer needed for research.
● Data collection should be anonymous (that is, the person’s name is not included) if possible.
● PII (Personal Identifying Information) should be replaced with identification codes (ID codes). ID codes
should *not* include individual’s names or social security numbers.
● Participants should be informed how the information will be used, how it will be stored and collected, and
who will have access to it.
● Participants should be informed of the limitations on the protection of data confidentiality, such as
mandatory reporting laws.
