participant confidentiality

Participant confidentiality means that any personal information or details shared during a study or research are kept private and secure. Researchers ensure that your identity cannot be linked to your data, often by removing names or using codes. This protects your privacy and helps build trust, so you can feel safe participating. Confidentiality is a key ethical standard, ensuring that sensitive information is not shared or disclosed without your permission. It allows researchers to gather honest and accurate information while respecting your personal rights.
