How and when to keep your identity a secret as a site selector:

Protect confidentiality when meeting with resource and service providers and wanting to be discreet. For example, Don't wear or handout anything that would lead someone to identify your employer. Items with logos, such as lapel pins, often give away identities.

If an enterprise development project has confidential elements and its owner seeks to maintain control of when and where he wants to be identified, then using credit cards or providing personal information in places of interest can mean trouble. Develop a checklist of things that could give away your identity and use it before traveling or entering meeting.

Arrange for a blind address. This tip included managing all communications that are traceable.

There are standards for professional conduct for resource and service providers engaged in the enterprise and economic process. One is to respect confidentiality. Nevertheless, it pays to be cautious about who to trust. That's not to say that a site selector should be unreasonably suspicious, but putting resource and service providers on notice and being alert is a way of working smart. See the answer to an often asked question about working discreetly with contacts.
