Confidentiality

Many workers have been placed in a position of trust because of their work and are therefore privy to confidential information regarding the organisation. You are reminded that revealing any type of confidential information to unauthorised persons or tampering with or altering organisation records and/or property is a violation of that trust, which can result in disciplinary action up to and including dismissal and may also be subject to civil and/or criminal proceedings.
If you have any doubts about what is considered confidential information or a breach of trust, you should seek advice from your Supervisor.
