Common use of Contractor’s Confidential or Proprietary Information Clause in Contracts

If the Contractor does bring such information to the facility, the Contractor shall be the custodian of the information and shall establish its own procedures to protect the confidentiality of the information. Confidential and proprietary information shall be prominently identified. If during performance of the Contract the Department obtains information of the Contractor marked confidential or proprietary, the information shall be treated as confidential to the extent such information is determined confidential under Iowa Code Chapter 22 or other provision of law by a court of competent jurisdiction. In the event the Department receives a public request for such information, written notice shall be given to the Contractor seventy-two (72) hours prior to the release of the information to allow the Contractor to seek injunctive relief pursuant to Section 22.8 of the Iowa Code.
