Which term refers to protecting sensitive information about the trial and participants?

Protecting sensitive information about the trial and its participants is about confidentiality. Confidentiality means keeping data private and accessible only to authorized people, using practices like coding or de-identifying data, secure storage, restricted access, and controlled sharing in line with consent and regulatory requirements. A confidentiality statement formalizes this commitment, describing how information will be protected and who may see it. The other terms refer to different concepts—System Release is about software or system versions, Data Handling and Record Keeping covers how data is managed and stored in general (not specifically about privacy), and Technical Support is about IT help—so they don’t directly capture the safeguard of participant information like confidentiality does.
