How does the CPC define "confidentiality"?

The definition of "confidentiality" within the context of the RID Code of Professional Conduct emphasizes the importance of safeguarding all information shared during the interpreting process. This encompasses not only the identity of the clients but all details and content exchanged in the setting of interpretation. Confidentiality assures clients that their private information will remain secure, fostering trust between the clients and the interpreter, which is essential for effective communication and support.

The other choices do not fully capture the comprehensive nature of confidentiality as outlined in the CPC. While personal experiences and the ability to share freely are important aspects of the interpreting relationship, they do not address the fundamental obligation of interpreters to maintain strict privacy regarding all the information received during their work. Similarly, merely protecting the identity of clients falls short of the broader scope of confidentiality, which includes all verbal and non-verbal information exchanged.
