A breach of confidentiality occurs when a researcher, by accident or direct action, allows an unauthorized person to gain access to the raw data of a study.
Fair treatment means that people should be treated the same without regard to any special characteristics.
Protection from harm is concerned with preventing as much discomfort to the subjects as possible and making sure they are aware ahead of time of any potential risk.
Self-determination refers to individuals' rights to knowingly become a subject in the study or not and to do so of their own free will.
