Common use of Promise Not To Disclose Cigna Companies’ Confidential Information Clause in Contracts

Promise Not To Disclose Cigna Companies’ Confidential Information. (A) You Promise not to disclose any Confidential Information to any third-party at any time, whether during or after your employment, without the prior written consent of Cigna (except to the extent required by an order of a court having competent jurisdiction or a properly issued subpoena) unless that Confidential Information was previously disclosed publicly by Cigna or has become public knowledge (other than by your disclosure). Nothing in this Confidentiality provision prohibits you or your counsel from initiating communications directly with, or responding to any inquiry from, or providing testimony before any self-regulatory organization or any state or federal regulatory authority. In the event that you are required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a subpoena or other law or regulation, you shall notify Cigna promptly upon learning that you have been subpoenaed or are otherwise required or compelled to divulge Confidential Information. (B) The foregoing notwithstanding and in accordance with 18 USC Section 1833(b), you shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of any Confidential Information that is a trade secret that is made: (i) confidentially to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. If you file a lawsuit for retaliation by Cigna for reporting a suspected violation of law, you may disclose such trade secret to your attorney and use the trade secret information in related court proceedings, provided that you file any document containing the trade secret information under seal and do not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.
