  Data Confidentiality in Data Recovery Service
In rare situations if the customers have located specific problems with some data, only with their permission, we will then look at the specific data segment as requested by the customers for any possible solution.
Depending on the requirements of customers, we could specially encrypt the recovered data in CD or DVD and then sealed off the data with a "tampered-proof" sticker to ensure that no one else except the owner could access the recovered data.
Whatever the case, we have spent considerable resources with implemented procedures to ensure that data security and confidentiality are never compromised for all customers at all time.

  JCU - IP - Data and Confidentiality
If research data needs protection, it is important that all those involved in a project are made aware of the fact and procedures are set up to ensure that there is no leakage.
The protection of confidentiality comes considerably more cheaply than a patent, and it is not unreasonable in some cases to choose to simply keep research outcomes secret.
JCU policy on the storage and retention of data (and on keeping it confidential) is documented in part 2 of the Statement and Guidelines on Research Practice.

 Chapter 2 - Data Accuracy, Confidentiality and Security
Data accuracy, confidentiality, and security are of the utmost importance to BLS and its CES and MWR programs.
To maintain data confidentiality, BLS published data are industry aggregates which are designed to prevent identification of individual firms.
Data collected by the CES program and the State agencies are kept strictly confidential and are used for statistical purposes only and BLS will hold the information in confidence to the full extent permitted by law.

 NIH Data Sharing Policy and Implementation Guidance
To facilitate data sharing, investigators submitting a research application requesting $500,000 or more of direct costs in any single year to NIH on or after October 1, 2003 are expected to include a plan for sharing final research data for research purposes, or state why data sharing is not possible.
If data from large epidemiologic or longitudinal studies are collected over several discrete time periods or waves, it is reasonable to expect that the data would be released in waves as data become available or main findings from waves of the data are published.
Sharing though data enclaves would grant access only to researchers who agree to preserve the privacy of subjects and provide means to protect the confidentiality of the data.

 Data Confidentiality and Security - it's YOUR Problem -
In terms of medical data processing and transmission the situation may arise where a breach of confidentiality arises not because the controller or his agent has failed to collect or store the data properly, but because the media used for transmitting the data between two parties allows a breach to occur.
Where the data are handled by someone who is not a health professional, such as a clerk or secretary, an equivalent obligation of secrecy must exist, one would expect therefore to find clauses for summary dismissal for inappropriate breach of confidentiality in the employment contracts of all such staff
The data subject has the right to give or withhold his consent to the processing of his data, and must give that consent unambiguously (article 7).- In accordance with other legal definitions of consent the Directive specifies that the consent must be given freely and on the basis of adeQ.

 Washington State Department of Health - Assessment Guidelines: Small Numbers
In general, problems with confidentiality arise when there are small denominators (population size represented in a specific cell in a table); and, problems with data reliability arise when there are small numerators (cases in a specific cell in a table).
Aggregation of data values is appropriate for fields with large numbers of values, such as dates, diagnoses, and geographic areas; it is the primary method used to collapse a dataset in order to create tables with no small numbers as denominators or numerators in cells.
The confidentiality of specific data elements or information in individual databases or record systems is defined by state laws and regulations and/or policies and procedures developed for those systems.

 Confidentiality, Data Security, and Cancer Research: Perspectives from the National Cancer Institute
Under the auspices of the NCI and led by experts in the clinical cooperative groups, which have decades of experience in handling clinical data, the cancer clinical trials community and representatives of advocacy groups should assess the adequacy of the confidentiality protections that are in place or planned for the cooperative trials program.
These include measures to insure confidentiality of research participants, adequacy of informed consent, and the extent to which participants should be notified about the outcome of research results that may have implications for their health or that of their family members.
Data from such registries satisfying established criteria for quality can be used to identify cancer trends, patterns, clusters, results of implementing health practices on a large scale, the effectiveness of public health programs, and planning.

However, maintaining the privacy and security of immunization data has been and continues to be a major priority of registry developers and public health personnel nationwide.
