As a business owner myself I respect how important confidentiality is. As a professional Virtual Assistant, I acknowledge my ethical responsibilities to clients, myself and the Virtual Assistant profession. I promise to conduct myself responsibly with the highest degree of integrity and accountability.

Here is my pledge:

I will conduct all my business in a professional manner.

I will maintain a high standard of confidentiality.

I do not use confidential information obtained from a client for personal benefit.

I will guard against conflict of interest among clients.

I recognize my limitations and only provide services and/or use technologies based on my current level of competence and expertise.

I will communicate clearly the terms of our agreement with clients at the start of our business relationship and clarify the expectations of all parties involved.

I will immediately contact clients of any conditions that may limit my effectiveness and only guarantee results that are within my power to deliver.

I am accountable for the work I do, and will admit mistakes and take any necessary steps to correct them promptly.

I will keep sufficient records of my work, and client relationships in general. The physical records are my property. The information in the records is the property of the client.

I will not release any information contained in a client's records without the consent of the client unless ordered by the court.
