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

Page 4 of About Site Selection has suggestions for guarding confidentiality. Members of the target audience of The Network, especially, enterprise developers and site selectors may be interested.

One suggestion advises protecting confidentiality when traveling by, for example, not wearing or handing out anything that would lead someone to identify your employer. Items with logos, such as lapel pins, often give away identities. Don't use credit cards or provide personal information that would give your identity away as a site selector visiting various places as a followup to gathering location data. Before traveling make a checklist of things that could give your identity away and make adjustments, for example, make arrangements for using a blind address.

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 unreasionably suspicious, but putting resouce 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.
