From the Paper:

"Integrity is a personal value relevant to confidentiality. A massage therapist must hold him or herself to the highest standards for most social values and integrity can cover quite a number of things. A massage therapist must have integrity in handling the clients' records, to be certain that the clients' names are not released accidentally. In addition, a massage therapist must have integrity in protecting clients' identities outside the office, by respecting their wishes to be acknowledged or not, taking his or her cue from the clients' actions. The NCTMB lists integrity as one of the fundamental components in business practice and defines it as "honesty" and "the firm adherence to a code of values (NCTMB Standard IV, Glossary). 2. There are several items that are important to recognize and monitor in self-care, in order to provide a comfortable session for the client."
