It is the policy of Options & Choices Inc. (doing business as Optis™) to protect our customers' information by limiting access to authorized users. Information gathered during the course of business shall not be marketed, sold, or utilized in any other context without the express permission of the information owner.

Data Privacy and Security

In providing you with LeaveXpert, Optis shall maintain appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect the security, confidentiality, and integrity of your data. We will not disclose your data except if compelled by law or permitted by you. Optis does reserve the right to review data from time to time in its discretion. In cases Optis choses to review data, it is not data specifically tied to your organization or users, but looking at all data for trends and insight that can lead to product improvement. Definition of Confidential Information As used herein, “Confidential Information” means all confidential information disclosed by you to Optis, 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 Data, 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 data) shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public without breach of any obligation owned to the disclosing party, (ii) was known to the receiving party prior to its disclosure by the disclosing party without breach of any obligation owned to the disclosing party, (iii) is received from the third party without breach of any obligation owed to the disclosing party, or (iv) was independently developed by the receiving party.”

Protection of Confidential Information

The receiving party shall use the same degree of care that is uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care) (i) not to use any Confidential Information of the disclosing party for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement, and (ii) except as otherwise authorized by the disclosing party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the disclosing party to those of its and its affiliates’ 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 that those herein. Neither party shall disclose the terms of this Agreement to any third party other than its Affiliates and their legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written consent.

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 costs of compiling and providing secure access to Confidential Information.
