Which types of records or information must be kept confidential?

Training records must be kept confidential because they often contain sensitive information concerning an individual’s performance, weaknesses, and areas for improvement. These records are not just basic attendance sheets; they reflect personal evaluations, assessment results, and sometimes even feedback from instructors that could impact the individual's career or opportunities for advancement.

Keeping this information confidential protects the privacy of the individual being evaluated, ensuring that the data is shared only with authorized personnel who need to know for specific developmental purposes. On the other hand, public examination results, general attendance logs, and monthly performance summaries can generally be shared in a broader context without compromising personal information or privacy rights.
