All personal information is considered confidential, will not be discussed in a written format, or in person with other individuals or businesses without your permission, in order to further the research on your behalf. The records are private and will be treated as such. This means that they are kept securely and password protection is in place. If another member of your family contacts me to discuss the research, I will have to gently say that my agreement is with yourself, and that without your written permission I would not be able to comment.
