Answer:

Confidentiality

Step-by-step explanation:

The Ethical standard of Confidentiality is one that demands an individual keeps information about a person or company out of public knowledge. It means that any information you have about a client or company that you work for is strictly meant to be between you and the company; no third parties. Information such as health details, company earnings, therapy session details, etc are examples of information meant to be kept confidential. A failure to keep confidentiality can result in legal action being taken against the erring individual.

Cheers
