Purpose - OneNDA Provision: Difference between revisions

No, friends: if you believe your customer might object to your proposed disclosure you have two options. This first — which you should not dismiss out of hand — is just ''not'' to make the disclosure, however keen [[Sales]] is to do so. In the long run, this is often the best thing, commercially and legally, to do. The second — more likely where the disclosure is under some sort of compulsion, or “strongly-worded request”, to a regulator — is to ''tell your customer'' you have received the request to surrender the information, you don’t see a way around complying with it, but that you propose to disclose no more than is necessary, anonymising the information as best you can, and on condition that the recipient treats it as confidential. This is likely to be a good thing for your relationship: it demonstrates you take your confidentiality obligations seriously; it conveys to your customer the sort of regulatory pressure you are under, and it is an opportunity to talk to your customer.
