Answer: Members share details relating to former clients with third party service providers.
## Explanation **Option A** is a violation of the Standard relating to preservation of confidentiality. **Key points:** 1. The Standard on confidentiality requires members to keep information about current, former, and prospective clients confidential unless: - The information concerns illegal activities - Disclosure is required by law - The client or prospective client permits disclosure 2.

In fact, this demonstrates good practice by informing clients about appropriate communication channels for confidential information. **Option C** is NOT a violation. When allowed by law, members may disclose confidential information to defend themselves in legal proceedings or investigations, including those by the CFA Institute Professional Conduct Program. **Conclusion:** Only Option A represents a violation of the confidentiality Standard.
