Are polygraph tests and results confidential?
Prior to the polygraph test, you will be asked to sign authorization to release the interview and test results. The person or persons to receive test results will be disclosed. As a general rule, test results are confidential. Exceptions to confidentiality, occur when the examiner is a “mandatory reporter” involving child sexual abuse and the test is not conducted for an attorney. Regulatory bodies have access to tests and test information. Regulatory authority is prohibited from disclosing confidential information.
