Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, "Confidential Information" means all confidential information disclosed by a party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party"), whether orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. Your Confidential Information shall include Your Content; Our Confidential Information shall include the Services; and Confidential Information of each party shall include the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as well as business and marketing plans, technology and technical information, product plans and designs, and business processes disclosed by such party. However, Confidential Information (other than Your Content) shall not include any information that:
- is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party;
- was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party;
- is received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or
- was independently developed by the Receiving Party.
-
Protection of Confidential Information. Except as otherwise permitted in writing by the Disclosing Party:
- the Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) not to disclose or use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and
- the Receiving Party shall limit access to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to those of its employees, contractors and agents who need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing protections no less stringent than those herein.

Compelled Disclosure.
The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party if it is compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of compiling and providing secure access to such Confidential Information.
Protection of Personal Health Information.
- In the event that any portion of Your Content includes personal health information ("PHI"), We acknowledge and agree that:
- You may be subject to statutory obligations within Your jurisdiction, provincial or otherwise, with respect to privacy requirements of PHI (the "Privacy Requirements");
- We supply the Services that may be used for the purpose of enabling You to use electronic means to access, store use, modify, disclose, retain or dispose of PHI;
- it may be necessary for the purpose and in the course of providing the Services for Us to access and use any such PHI on behalf of You; and
- information which is Confidential Information may also be (but is not necessarily) PHI and that where information is both PHI and Confidential Information, the requirements applicable to each category shall apply to it so as to subject it in each case to the more rigorous requirement.
- To the extent that You are subject to Privacy Requirements, We shall at all times comply with the Agreement in such manner as to ensure that Our acts or omissions do not result in You being in violation of the Privacy Requirements.
- Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to the extent that You are subject to Privacy Requirements, We shall:
- only access and use PHI for the purpose of providing the Services and only to the extent and for the time required where necessary to provide the Services and shall not access or use PHI for any other purpose, including, without limitation, on Our own behalf or for Our own purposes;
- not disclose PHI, except as required for the purpose of providing the Services or except as required in accordance with applicable law or administrative ruling;
- ensure that only such of Our employees and permitted subcontractors and agents as have a need to know PHI for the performance of the Services under this Agreement ("KIWI User") have access to PHI;

- We shall adopt physical, technological and administrative safeguards which are reasonable in the circumstances for the protection of PHI.
- If We receive any requests from individuals for access to or the correction of their PHI, We shall forthwith advise such individuals, in such form and terms as You may from time to time reasonably specify, that such request should be directed to You or the User that is the custodian for the applicable PHI.
- You shall provide, and shall ensure that each User provides, no more PHI to Us than will be necessary for the purpose and in the course of providing the Services, and You shall indemnify, defend and hold Us harmless with respect to any third party claim and/or any loss relating to Your failure to do so.
- Subject to You agreeing to comply with obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure acceptable to Us, You shall have the right, on reasonable notice and at the Your expense and with no disruption to Our business, to visit and inspect any location where We access or use PHI, to examine all equipment used, and all records maintained, in connection therewith, to make copies of such records, to question Our personnel (including any permitted subcontractors, suppliers and agents), and otherwise to audit and verify, both physically and electronically, compliance by Us with this Section 6(e). Notwithstanding the foregoing, You have no duty to make any such visit, inspection, examination, audit or verification.
- If You receive any inquiry or complaint relating to PHI, You shall notify, at the first reasonable opportunity, the User that is the custodian of the applicable PHI of the inquiry or complaint in such form and manner, and with such particulars, as You may from time to time specify, and if a User notifies Us that it requires assistance in investigating or responding to any inquiry or complaint, whether or not first received by Us, We shall provide reasonable co-operation, at Your expense (for greater certainty, including Our legal fees and expenses) and to the extent reasonably required in light of the inquiry or complaint, by furnishing the User with complete information concerning Our access and use of PHI, including responding, if requested to do so, to any inquiry by a government agency or other authority and/or to any complaint in connection with the Privacy Requirements. If any inquiry or complaint (whether or not first received by Us) gives rise to proceedings before a court, regulatory or other authority, We shall, at Your expense (for greater certainty, including Our legal fees and expenses), provide reasonable co-operation in the conduct of such proceedings and shall attend hearings and assist in securing and giving evidence and obtaining the attendance of witnesses.
- We shall notify You at the first reasonable opportunity in writing in the event of the theft, loss, destruction or unauthorized access, use, transfer, disclosure, copying or modification of PHI or in the event that We have reasonable grounds to suspect that any such unauthorized activity is likely to occur.
- In the event of any termination of this Agreement, We shall forthwith return, as directed by You, PHI of which You are the custodian and which We are accessing or using for the purpose of providing the Services and shall keep no copies of such PHI, except to the extent required by Our reasonable archival policy and otherwise as permitted by applicable law.
