207 - CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND COMPANY PROPERTY

All Company records and information relating to the Company or its customers are confidential, and employees must, therefore, treat all matters accordingly. No Company or Company-related information, including without limitation, documents, notes, files, records, oral information, computer files or similar materials (except in the ordinary course of performing duties on behalf of the Company) may be removed from Company premises without permission from the Company. Additionally, the contents of Company's records or information otherwise obtained in regard to business may not be disclosed to anyone, except where required for a business purpose. 

 Employees must not disclose any confidential information, purposefully or inadvertently through casual conversation, to any unauthorized person inside or outside the Company. Employees who are unsure about the confidential nature of specific information must ask their Supervisor for clarification. Employees will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal, for knowingly or unknowingly revealing information of a confidential nature.

 To protect the Company’s interest in this valuable asset, employees must (a) not use any such Confidential Information for their personal benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity other than the Company, and (b) use best efforts to limit access to such Confidential Information to those who have a need to know it for the business purposes of the Company. 

 In addition, employees must minimize those occasions on which documents, computer disks, thumb/usb drives, or a laptop containing such Confidential Information are taken outside the office. On those occasions where it is necessary, consistent with the best interests of the Company and performing the job effectively, to take documents, a computer disk, or a laptop containing Confidential Information outside the office, all appropriate precautionary and security measures should be taken to protect the confidentiality of the information.

 During the course of employment with the Company, employees will be provided and/or will generate correspondence, memoranda, literature, reports, summaries, manuals, proposals, contracts, customer lists, prospect lists, and other documents and data concerning the business of the Company. Any and all such records and data, whether maintained in hard copy or on a computer disk, computer hard drive, computer tape, or other medium is the property of the Company, regardless of whether it is or contains Confidential Information. 

 Upon termination of employment at the Company, employees are required to return all such records to the Company and may not retain any copy of any such records or make any notes regarding any such records. We reserve the right to search for such information and property in personal items while on Company premises such as vehicles, purses, briefcases, etc.
