Appearing as if confidential information doesn't matter to you. Employers want to know you are diligent and that information shared with you stays with you. You want to assure the interviewer that you are trustworthy and can be responsible for sensitive information.
"Confidentiality is very important to me. I would never share information unless asked to by a supervisor. If I am unsure if a co-worker should see a document I felt should be kept confidential, I would clear it with a supervisor first before sharing the information."
