His information applies to a majority of jurisdictions, and forwarding an email will not be considered any breach by a court, unless you did it with malicious intent, which then would fall upon faculty to proove, and they would simply loose. | |

| May 7, 2016 at 6:49 | comment | added | Dan Romik | I am not a lawyer, but unless you signed a nondisclosure agreement or made some other legally binding promise not to disclose the information, you almost certainly didn't do anything illegal by forwarding the email. Related: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_disclaimer. Keep in mind that illegal and improper/unethical are two different things, so it's still quite possible that what you did will upset the sender of the email. | |

| May 7, 2016 at 4:42 | comment | added | Admia | Because, the faculty has shared with me the name of companies he is working with. He has also shared with me the name of scientific problem he is currently working on. | |
| May 7, 2016 at 3:55 | comment | added | Anonymous Physicist | Why do you think there would be confidential information involved? | |
