Confidentiality protections require written claims and affidavits before access to unredacted materials via a confidentiality ring is granted. Regulation 36 requires the Commission to protect an Informant's identity on written request, allows disclosure only after giving the Informant an opportunity to be heard, and mandates that parties claiming confidentiality self-certify reasons, file an affidavit, and provide both a marked confidential version and an exact redacted non-confidential copy. The Commission may form a Confidentiality Ring to grant access to unredacted material on filing of strict undertakings limiting use and disclosure; confidential records must be segregated, special categories kept separately, and breaches attract disciplinary or contractual consequences under the Act.
