Description
Check confidentiality purpose membership and a supplied exception.
Applied-ethics records capture supplied permissions, disclosures, criteria and time or cost assumptions. A checklist, Boolean condition or numerical margin can reveal a local inconsistency without determining ethical acceptability, valid consent or lawful authority. Context, evidence and the interests of affected people remain essential.
Check confidentiality purpose membership and a supplied exception.
When to use this tool
Use Confidentiality Exception Scope Token when checking the stated permission, disclosure, timing or ethical-review record convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter purpose, permitted, exceptionPurposes, exceptionAuthorized. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read permittedByTokens, exceptionUsed. Inspect permittedByTokens, exceptionUsed before interpreting the associated values.
Check confidentiality purpose membership and a supplied exception. Normal permitted membership passes directly; exceptionUsed requires no normal permission, exceptionAuthorized and listed exception purpose; permittedByTokens combines them.1

}Limitations and assumptions
- No exception is authorized or disclosure performed; actual confidentiality duties and valid legal/ethical permission are not verified.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review the original evidence, participant choices and governing requirements with the responsible ethics and professional teams for substantive decisions.
