Which statement is NOT a data-related duty of RBTs?

• A. Breaching Confidentiality by Sharing Data Publicly
• B. RBTs Create, Maintain, Distribute, Store, Retain, and Dispose of Records and Data Relating to Their Services
• C. Collecting and Displaying Data for Program Development
• D. Keeping Data Private and Secure

Answer: (A)

Protecting client information and using data to guide treatment are central to ethical RBT practice. Creating, maintaining, storing, retaining, distributing, and disposing of records and data are all part of responsible data management, ensuring information is accurate, accessible to the right people, and handled properly over its lifecycle. Collecting data and displaying it for program development helps track progress and inform how to adjust interventions. Keeping data private and secure directly supports confidentiality, a core obligation. Breaching confidentiality by sharing data publicly is not a duty; it’s a violation of ethical guidelines and privacy protections, undermining trust and client safety.
