The duty to observe confidentiality applies to all information with which members of the SSB are entrusted by the licensee, or which is brought to their attention during or at any time after the carrying out of their assignment. Confidentiality obligations do not end when a member of the SSB ceases to serve a Bahraini Islamic bank licensee or when a matter is completed or closed. Members of the SSB must observe the same restrictions unless they have obtained express authorisation from the Bahraini Islamic bank licensee that relieves them from such obligation.
