What privacy or confidentiality considerations must be addressed when publishing client details?

When publishing client details, privacy and confidentiality considerations include complying with legal frameworks such as HIPAA (for health information), FERPA (for educational records), and relevant state laws, which mandate protecting personally identifiable information (HHS.gov). Professionals must ensure data is securely stored, access is restricted to authorized personnel, and disclosures are made only on a "need-to-know" basis, with explicit client consent where required (ASHA). Additionally, disclosures should be minimized, relevant, and proportionate, and any publication of client details must either anonymize or disguise identifying information unless explicit consent is obtained (APA).
