As a copywriter, I regularly work with clients where security of confidential information is of critical importance. This is something I take extremely seriously.

​

My Confidentiality Policy

I have established this confidentiality policy to ensure that all client information is kept private and secure in compliance with the Australian Privacy Principles (APPs).

 

1. Definition of Confidential Information

Confidential information includes any information that is not generally available to the public and may include, but is not limited to, the following types of information:

 

• Trade secrets and proprietary information

• Customer lists

• Financial information

• Business plans and strategies

• Marketing plans

• Intellectual property

• Personal information of clients or their customers

• Any other information that clients have designated as confidential

​

2. Confidentiality Obligations

I will not disclose, use, or copy any confidential information unless required by law or with the express written consent of the client. I will take reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of the information, including, but not limited to:

 

• Keeping all physical and electronic copies of confidential information in a secure location

• Limiting access to confidential information to only those who need to know

• Using secure methods of communication when transmitting confidential information

​

3. Ownership of Confidential Information

All confidential information provided to me by the client shall remain the property of the client. I acknowledge that I have no right, title or interest in the confidential information, except as expressly set forth in this policy.

 

4. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information

Upon completion of the project or upon the request of the client, I will promptly return or destroy all confidential information in my possession or control, including any copies made thereof.

 

5. Non-Disclosure Agreement

Where necessary, I will enter into a non-disclosure agreement with clients to further protect their confidential information.
