What does the term 'Nondisclosure of Private, Proprietary or Confidential Information' require from the Contractor?

The term 'Nondisclosure of Private, Proprietary or Confidential Information' requires the Contractor to protect and not disclose any private, proprietary, or confidential information received from the City. This requirement is fundamental to maintaining the confidentiality and integrity of sensitive information that may be critical to the City’s operations or competitive position.

By mandating that the Contractor safeguards such information, it ensures that sensitive data is handled appropriately and helps to prevent unauthorized access or leaks. This protection often extends to various forms of communication, including written, electronic, and verbal, emphasizing a comprehensive approach to confidentiality rather than allowing for exceptions or limitations like those presented in other choices.

Prohibitions against storing or disclosing such information do not sufficiently cover the broad responsibility placed on the Contractor to actively guard and maintain the confidentiality of all proprietary data received.
