Yes I think that is why I think it's a grey area. On one hand, absolutely people are going to talk about me because it is a word of mouth business but because we have more personal relationships (as in we know a bit about each others lives) it does make me wonder about confidentiality. For example, I don't care if a parent were to discuss my business but what if they were to tell someone that I was pregnant, divorcing, etc. I'm so open though with my life that I haven't really thought about it on my end though lol...I'm thinking more so for them. I'm sure they wouldn't want me to tell others if they lost their job or divorced or etc etc etc.

I have told the name of the past client I have termed to the 2 other providers in my city I talk with so that they could avoid the drama and hassle I had to go through. Is that breaking confidentiality though? (I don't have a confidentiality policy so no but what if I did?)
