The privacy of data providers, the confidentiality of the information they provide, its use only for statistical purposes and the security of the data are absolutely guaranteed.
only disclose identifiable information if it is necessary, and, when it is, only disclose the minimum amount necessary; tell service users when you have disclosed their information (if this is practical and possible);
Confidentiality's value is not intrinsic but rather instrumental. That is to say, the value of confidentiality is derivative from the other values it advances. We can distin- guish four such values: autonomy, privacy, promise-keeping and utility (or welfare).
The eight Caldicott principles are listed below as follows:
Justify the purpose for using confidential information. Don't use personal confidential data unless absolutely necessary. Use the minimum necessary personal confidential data. Access to personal confidential data should be on a strictly need-to-know basis.
Lawfulness, fairness, and transparency; ▪ Purpose limitation; ▪ Data minimisation; ▪ Accuracy; ▪ Storage limitation; ▪ Integrity and confidentiality; and ▪ Accountability. These principles are found right at the outset of the GDPR, and inform and permeate all other provisions of that legislation.
Confidentiality, integrity and availability together are considered the three most important concepts within information security. Considering these three principles together within the framework of the "triad" can help guide the development of security policies for organizations.
Examples of confidential information are:
Names, dates of birth, addresses, contact details (of staff, clients, patients, pupils, etcetera). Personal bank details and credit card information. Images of staff, pupils or clients that confirm their identity and can be linked to additional personal information.
Privacy and confidentiality are two separate concepts that protect different types of information. 'Privacy' is used in relation to information that is protected under law (normally under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth)), whereas 'confidentiality' refers to different information contained in valid contracts and agreements.
The five pillars are integrity of data in its original form, availability for authorized parties, identity authenticity, data confidentiality and non-repudiation.

The Privacy Act 1988 (Privacy Act) is the principal piece of Australian legislation protecting the handling of personal information about individuals. This includes the collection, use, storage and disclosure of personal information in the federal public sector and in the private sector.
(a) Confidentiality means that only people who have a need to know and are authorised to use the Personal Data can access it. (b) Integrity means that Personal Data is accurate and suitable for the purpose for which it is processed.
Confidentiality Measures
Store and lock paper documents. Encrypt electronic information and safeguard databases. Ask employees to sign non-compete and/or non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) Ask for authorization by senior management to allow employees to access certain confidential information.
