              Subpart 324.70_Confidentiality of Information

 

Sec. 324.7002  Policy.



    It is the policy of HHS to protect personal interests of 

individuals, corporate interests of non-governmental organizations, and 

the capacity of the Government to provide public services when 

information from or about individuals, organizations, or Federal 

agencies is provided to or obtained by contractors in performance of HHS 

contracts. This protection depends on the contractor's recognition and 

proper handling of the information. As a result, the ``Confidentiality 

of Information'' contract clause was developed.
