Storage of Records

Regulatorycatalyst and its employees have an ethical and legal obligation to respect the privacy of our clients, and to protect and maintain the confidentiality of all information that we obtain about clients, their friends, acquaintances and family members in the course of providing services to them.
Client records are legally protected confidential records and must be treated as such. This means that client records maintained by RegulatoryCatalyst must be kept in a locked file at all times except when being reviewed or updated. Client records should always be maintained in office only.
It is unethical to discuss clients with family or friends, unless you are ordered to do so by a court or otherwise required by law. If someone insists on obtaining information and the client has not authorized it, immediately notify the Executive Director.
