Your Responsibilities
Sharing of Restricted information within the University may be permissible if necessary to meet the University’s legitimate business needs. Except as otherwise required by law (or for purposes of sharing between law enforcement entities), you may not disclose Restricted information outside of the University, including to contractors, without the proposed recipient’s prior written agreement:
- To take appropriate measures to safeguard the confidentiality of the Restricted information.
- Not to disclose the Restricted information to any other party for any purpose absent the University’s prior written consent or a valid court order or subpoena.
- To notify the University in advance of any disclosure pursuant to a court order or subpoena unless the order or subpoena explicitly prohibits such notification.
In addition, the proposed recipient must abide by the requirements of Princeton's Information Security Policy. Any sharing of Restricted information within the University must comply with the Information Security Policy. We encourage you to review the complete Information Security Policy and learn more about your responsibilities.
