Confidentiality means that the researcher will keep the identities and data of the subjects private and will not reveal them publicly. In this situation, the researcher is planning to ask for name and address, but is reassuring the subjects that their answers will not be revealed. This falls under the concept of confidentiality, not anonymity, secrecy or privacy.
