What are Code of Confidentiality Policies?

A code of confidentiality policy sets out how organisations protect sensitive information and ensure it is only accessed, used and shared appropriately.

Confidential information can include personal data, business records, financial details, intellectual property and client information. A clear policy ensures employees understand their responsibilities, prevents unauthorised disclosure, and helps maintain trust with customers, partners and stakeholders.

What Do Code of Confidentiality Policies Cover?

A code of confidentiality policy typically includes:

  • Definition of confidential information and examples relevant to the organisation

  • Responsibilities of employees, contractors and third parties in safeguarding information

  • Procedures for storing, accessing and sharing confidential data securely

  • Restrictions on disclosing information without proper authorisation

  • Requirements for handling personal data in line with data protection laws

  • Rules around discussing sensitive information in public or informal settings

  • Procedures for reporting breaches or suspected misuse of confidential information

  • Disciplinary consequences of breaches of confidentiality

  • Links to data protection, IT security, privacy and whistleblowing policies

A clear policy helps staff understand what information is considered confidential, why it must be protected and how to handle it safely.

It also supports compliance with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018 and contractual obligations that require organisations to safeguard sensitive information.

By embedding confidentiality into everyday working practices, organisations can reduce risk, protect reputation and demonstrate their commitment to respecting privacy and safeguarding sensitive data.
