A party’s Confidential Information includes, without limitation, any and all copies, notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations, and summaries of that information prepared by or for the other party. Customer agrees
(i) To hold the Lyftrondata Inc’s Proprietary Information in confidence and to take reasonable precautions to protect such Proprietary Information (including, without limitation, all precautions Customer employs with respect to its own confidential materials),
(ii) Not to divulge any such Proprietary Information or any information derived therefrom to any third person,

evaluate internally its relationship with the Lyftrondata Inc,

1 of 5 Confidential Information and (v) not to export or reexport (within the meaning of U.S. or other export control laws or regulations) any such Proprietary Information or product thereof. If Customer is an organization, then Customer also agrees that, even within Customer, Proprietary Information will be disseminated only to those employees, officers, and directors with a clear and well-defined “need to know” for purposes of the business relationship between the parties. Without granting any right or license, Lyftrondata Inc agrees that the foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information that the Customer can document
(a) Is or becomes (through no improper action or inaction by Customer or any affiliate, agent, consultant or employee of Customer) generally available to the public, or
(b) was in its possession or known by it without restriction prior to receipt from Lyftrondata Inc, or
(c) was rightfully disclosed to it by a third party without restriction, or
(d) was independently developed without the use of any Proprietary Information of Lyftrondata Inc. Customer may make disclosures required by law or court order provided Customer uses diligent reasonable efforts to limit disclosure and to obtain confidential treatment or a protective order and allows Lyftrondata Inc to participate in the proceeding.
2.2 Purpose and Handling of Confidential Information:
The party receiving Confidential Information (the “Customer”) shall not use the Confidential Information other than for the purpose. Customer shall keep the other party’s (“Discloser”) Confidential Information in strict confidence. Customer shall only disclose Confidential Information to its employees, including its temporary workers provided by a staffing agency and independent contractors, that are under Customer’s direct supervision and control, having: (a) a need to know that information to accomplish the purpose, and (b) agreed in writing to non-disclosure obligations at least as restrictive as those in this Agreement. Customer shall protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care Customer uses to protect its own confidential information of like importance but never using less than a reasonable standard of care.
2.3 Confidential Information Identification:
Confidential Information entitled to protection under this Agreement may be disclosed in a tangible or intangible format and must be marked as “confidential” or with a similar legend, or if the information is disclosed solely by oral or visual means, it must be identified as confidential at the time of disclosure. Failure to mark or designate information as “Confidential Information” at the time of disclosure, shall not relieve Customer of its obligations hereunder if the nature of the information and the circumstances of the disclosure are such that Customer knew or should have known the information was “Confidential Information
2.4. Exclusions:
Confidential Information does not include any information that: (a) was already known through lawful means by Customer without an obligation of confidentiality before disclosure under this Agreement as evidenced by written records predating the disclosure; (b) is readily accessible to the public on or after the date of disclosure other than through Customer’s breach of this Agreement; (c) was rightfully received by Customer without restriction on disclosure from a third party entitled to make such disclosure (except that this exception applies only after Customer receives the information from the third party); (d) was independently developed by Customer without using any of Discloser’s Confidential Information as directly evidenced by Customer’s written records, or (e) is approved for release or disclosure by written authorization of the Discloser.
2.5. Disclosure Required by Law :
Customer may comply with an order from a court or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction and disclose the other party’s Confidential Information in compliance with that order only if Customer: (a) gives the Discloser prior notice to such disclosure if the time between that order and such disclosure reasonably permits or, if time does not permit, gives the Discloser notice of such disclosure promptly after complying with that order and (b) fully cooperates with the Discloser, at the Discloser’s cost and expense, in seeking a protective order, confidential treatment, or taking other measures to oppose or limit such disclosure. Customer must not release any more of the Discloser’s Confidential Information than is, in Customer’s good faith judgment, reasonably necessary to comply with that order.
(a) Return: On the disclosing party’s request, the receiving party must return or destroy on demand all Confidential Information of the disclosing party which has been supplied to or acquired by the receiving party other than:
(i) records the receiving party has a separate legal right or obligation to retain; and
(ii) copies of Confidential Information created in the ordinary course of the receiving party’s business and retained in accordance with its internal document retention and information technology policies.
(b) Customer Identification: Lyftrondata may identify the Customer as a user of the Services and may use the Customer’s name and logo in Lyftrondata’s customer list, press releases, blog posts, advertisements, and website.
