NRC-IRAP CONFIDENTIALITY OF BUSINESS INFORMATION
IRAP provides you with the professional advice and assistance to develop and
use technology. Because we work closely with your company and may have
access to sensitive business information, we take steps to ensure
confidentiality.
Built-In Safeguards
Federal legislation provides for the protection of proprietary business
information held by the National Research Council. Our Industrial
Technology Advisors have confidentiality requirements as part of their
employment agreements, and ask only for the information they need to do the
job.
Your company's “trade secrets” and confidential financial, commercial,
scientific or technical information are protected from third-party access.
We authorize access only to those ITA's and other government employees
involved in the project. They receive information on a “need to know” basis
and solely for the purpose for which it was originally collected. We take
appropriate measures to prevent unauthorized access to your confidential
information whether it is physically or electrically stored.
Protect Your Information
You can help us safeguard your business information.
- Only provide the information we request.
-
Clearly mark sensitive information as Confidential or Protected.
- Attach a memorandum that specifically identifies information within your
documents as confidential.
-
Always treat sensitive information as confidential.
