Properties
Instance of
ConfidentialityofEmployerInformationinPublicAgencyContext
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#ConfidentialityofEmployerInformationinPublicAgencyContext
Applied to
As-built drawings of existing sprinkler systems held by the state public agency
Balancing with
Bid Document Completeness and Material Information Disclosure
Public Welfare Paramount
Concrete expression
As-built drawings held by the state agency constitute employer information that Engineer D may not share without institutional authorization, even when sharing would benefit project outcomes, because the agency's institutional integrity in managing its information assets must be respected
Confidence
0.82
Importance
medium
Interpretation
The confidentiality principle here is not about protecting sensitive personal or commercial information but about respecting the institutional authority of the employer over its own information assets — D lacks unilateral authority to share employer documents informally
Invoked by
Engineer D Public Sector Fire Protection Engineer
State Agency As-Built Information Custodian
Tension resolution
The tension is resolved by recognizing that the employer's institutional interest in proper information management is itself a public interest — proper procurement processes protect taxpayers and ensure fair competition, which are public welfare goals
