Confidentiality for Interpreters
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of professional interpreting. Whether in legal, medical, business, or conference settings, interpreters are trusted with sensitive and private information. It is essential for interpreters to maintain strict confidentiality to protect the rights, safety, and privacy of all parties involved.
Professional interpreters follow codes of ethics that emphasize discretion and confidentiality. They must never disclose information they hear during assignments, regardless of personal opinion or external pressure. Breaching confidentiality not only damages the interpreter's reputation but can also have legal consequences and harm the people they serve.
In the age of digital communication and remote interpreting, safeguarding confidentiality is more challenging than ever. Interpreters must be careful with the tools and technologies they use, avoiding cloud-based or AI-driven systems that may store or analyze conversations without explicit consent.
