      Alexandra's Feedback

      This is a good answer. I would expand on what types of information you had to keep confidential (financial, personal, legal info). Expanding on specifics helps create a stronger visual for the interviewer, and those specific examples could make it easy for the interviewer to connect your experience to the requirements of the job for which you are interviewing.
