The night before your presentation to the client, a Sr. Vice President of Marketing at Andrews calls you and asks you to send her the survey data for the Marketing department so she isn’t "surprised by any of the report’s findings." You respond by saying that "the information is confidential" to which she says, "Of course! I’m not going to share it with anyone else." Which of the following issues should most concern you in considering a response?

Protecting the identity of individual survey respondents should most concern you in considering a response. Confidentiality is an important ethical principle in survey research, and survey respondents have a right to privacy. If the Sr. Vice President of Marketing at Andrews is asking for the survey data for the Marketing department, she is essentially asking for data that could potentially identify individual respondents. Even if she promises not to share the data with anyone else, it is still important to protect the confidentiality of survey respondents. Therefore, it is important to explain the importance of protecting individual respondent's privacy and the ethical obligation to maintain confidentiality, and to seek approval from the appropriate authorities before disclosing any survey data.
